    I feel like a whining bitch, but I remember all those things and miss them terribly. I used to love going to Dubsky's too look at all the monster movie magazines. I also remember going to Damen field to get cat tales to use to blow off our fireworks on the fourth. Remember there was a marsh there with frogs, garter snakes and quail? We also loved the stock Yards. We would build forts, hunt rats, smoke cigarettes and explore.
