Chicago

Was it Bushelle?

It was & is "Boushelle", Though not as popular as it was during the 1960's-70's.

Plus, I believe the late Chicago folk singer Win Stracke sang the once popular Chicago jingle, Also with Maurice Lenell Cookies.

It was definitely Bouchelle. (not exactly sure of the spelling)

It was and still is Boushelle... A Google proves it, though it is now in the 630 area code: link to Google

When I was a kid, there was a heavyset boy on our ballteam named Hudson. We used to make fun of him with that jingle and sing "Hudson weighs 2700". Ah, youth. = =

Yes, Winn Stracke it was. I now live in the high country of Arizona, but blame my sweet tooth on Winn! Just kidding!!! He wrote the first Maurice Lennel Cooky "jingle", then was later pressed to write a second one. The first most people know..." ...if you like good Cookies, a story I'll tell..." But the second was a bit tongue in cheek, about Mars visitors. They tell the crowd..." We don't want your leader, we're not here to dwell; just bring us some cookies, by Maurice Lennel." My neighbors think I'm crazy, but that jingle sticks with me at age 59. == = Before Winn Stracke, the deep baso voice belonged to Mark Russell, who later became a talent scout for Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scout" shows, and a local public service show host (Eye on St. Louis) on KMOX-TV, St. Louis. Mark died in 2002 at the age of 88.

Several years ago Gay Chicago Magazine (Aug 10 1995) did an article on Boystown history. First, the gay community was first in the River North area around Clark and Hubbard. The Baton Bar is still in this area.

The area we now know as Boystown in the 1970's was a crime-riddled neighborhood, but Little Jim's opened there in 1975 and because gays were being priced out of the up-and-coming River North area, they moved further north. Gays have a way of making their neighborhoods great, and places where the general population want to be as well. So, soon other gay bars would move into the area. Sidetracks and the now gone Christopher St would open. Roscoe's must have came to be about this same time. There was even a lesbian bar there named the Ladybug.

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Stonewall, we thank Mayor Daley for making the bright, rainbow colored towers a part of the city forever.

As the neighborhood continues to change, I hope we as a community continue to document the progress of the East Lakeview area of the North side, affectionately known as Boystown.

For a little more on Boystown, "Boystown" started as a pejorative nickname based on Newtown. There were many bars that came and went and served as cultural hubs for the young and gay. I remember Club la Ray in a large old roccoco theater on the southeast corner of Halsted and Belmont. This was a late night African American gay bar. There were often The most flamboyant of drag queens on the walk outside. There, where now sits a parking lot, was one of Boystown's great tributes to the wild and campy. Boystown is now a shadow of what it once was. Gays have much less need these days to ghetto-ize for safety, and increased rents in Boystown have pushed many out into other Northside neighborhoods. Boystown now lacks the intense concentration of young, carefree, gay residents it once posessed, yet, as a result of dispersion, gays are found all over the extended North and Northwest side of Chicago proper.

No. Very few American transportation facilities have lockers anymore due to security and drug-trafficing concerns.

Chicago was built on a swamp. Unlike New Orleans, after it flooded once, Chicago brought in a lot of dirt and raised the height of the city so it would not flood.

My grandfather Hugh Livingston Cole was part owner of the Cole Hot Blast Mfg Co. with his brothers. The factory went out of business in the 20's I believe. My Dad, H L Cole, Jr. still lives in Chicago. My aunts who studied abroad, Shirley and Mary, live in St. Louis and Trenton, New Jersey, respectively. Their youner sister Frances still lives in the Chicago area.

The restaurant closed sometime in the late or early 70s. I do recall the chef during its prime, it was Mr. Labriola.
