Where can you find Marshall Fields' 1948-49 Aunt Holly and Uncle Mistletoe Christmas tree ornaments?
I have Uncle Mistletoe. My mother (who died in 1986) broke Aunt Holly about 1984. They were her favorite ornaments, so it's a good thing she was the one who broke it. Uncle Mistletoe has now been retired to a curio cabinet and is not for sale. It is a treasured family heirloom. P.S. My mother also loved Marshall Fields. Xmas trips there were a highlight of my childhood.
Where can you find information about a steakhouse called Miller's on Western Avenue in Chicago?
Miller's steak house was located on the east side of Western Avenue on the 7200 block just north of Touhy Avenue.
Yes, it was on the east side of Western Avenue 7200 block, but that's south of Touhy Avenue by two blocks. It was between Lunt Avenue and Greenleaf Avenue. It was in operation from at least the early 1960s, don't know how much older, and was still in operation in 1974, don't know how much longer. It's been torn down now. I lived next-door as a kid. They'd prop open the back fire door when the place really got to partying and I'd watch through the crack in the door. They had valet parking only, and they'd pack those cars in. The valets had a tiny shack with a space heater and they'd freeze in there, but they probably got good tips. Why do you ask?

Where can you find pictures of Brighton Park in the 1970s?
I'm sure I could locate some pics from the early 70's.My Grandparents lived in this area until their passing. (Across from Crane Clock) if you are familiar. I believe I have pics of the library, theatre, gerties, hi-lo, niesners dept. store, archer ave. bigstore, Davis school, the shack, alot of memories here.
AnswerThese aren't from the 70's but maybe it'll help: picturingchicago AnswerI grew up in the Brighton Park area. I'm 52 years old and was wondering if there's anyway I can get copies of the pictures from Ronald. When our house was sold the pictures got lost.When I read Ronald's msg about the Crane Clock, Hi-Lo, Gerties, Brighton Park theatre and Niesners Dept store it brought back so many memories for me.
My first job was at "Niesners" in 1969. I was in my last year of high school and on a work/school program. Kelly let me out of school early everyday I worked from 2:00 to closing. I felt very lucky to get that job.
Hi-Lo was the first big grocery store in our neighborhood.
My grandmother always said if you can see the Crane Clock you'll never be lost.
The "Shack" you are really taking me back to some good times.
"Archer Avenue Big Store" we got our school uniforms there. I went to St. Joseph and St. Anne grammer school. Kelly High School.
"Gerties" I had my first ice cream cone
"Davis" school was a grammer school except for the third floor - It was were I went my freshman year of High School,the main building was too crowded.
"McKinley Park" every Sunday, my brothers (I have nine of them no sisters)and I would go swimming at the pool and fishing in the lagoon.
Did you know the fire house right off Archer Avenue was the fire house they used in the movie "Backdraft"?
Would you happen to have a picture of the newspaper stand outside of the bank on Archer Avenue?
I would be willing to pay for copies of anything you have. Reading your e-mail has brought back so many memories.
"back-of-the-yards" On a really windy day the smell would hang over our neighborhood.
My thoughts are all over the place while sending this msg. I just can't believe I found this wed site.
If you send me some questions about what you are interested in I'll try and answer them for you.

AnswerHi, I loved reading everyone else's memories of Brighton Park in Chicago and wanted to contribute some of my own. My grandparents lived on Troy Street, off of Archer and Kedzie in Brighton Park. I remember:- Huck Finn Donuts
- White Castles that had tall stools along the windows, but no tables and chairs.
- Archer Avenue Big Store where I got my favorite winter coat as a child and my First Holy Communiion dress.
- Fannie May Candies
- Mom showing me the windows of what used to be Petrie's clothing shop, where she worked as a teenager in the 1950s.
- My grandfather holding my hand as I walked along the black, marble ledges around Fortuna's Funeral Home.
- The small delicatessen store called "Shlizes" (may be spelled wrong) that my grandmother used to take me to. It smelled so great in there! We always bought what we called, "Grandma's Bolonia." You had to peel the skin off each slice.
- Chesdan's Pizza
- Walking through the alley to Brown's Chicken.
- A&P
- Driving to Lindy's Gertie's Ice Cream to pick up hamburgers and French fries. The hamburgers were hot and delicious. The fries where hot, somehow soggy yet crunchy, and perfectly salty, and they kind of stuck to the wax paper bags they were put in.
- Most of all, I remember my grandparents and their perfectly beautiful, 2nd floor, 2-flat house that was built in the 1920s with gorgeous woodwork everywhere and "diamond" doorknobs in all the rooms.
