Lawrence Avenue
You’re receiving this test because you’ve subscribed to the blog about my old neighborhood, Hollywood Park, and the surrounding neighborhoods from Albany Park to Peterson Park.
Last week I sent out a test to see if the new service for blog subscriptions was working. It wasn’t, so I’m trying this again. In the past I used feedburner to allow readers to receive the blogposts by email. Google is no longer providing support for feedback, so I’ve switched over to Mail Chimp to provide email subscriptions of my blogposts.
As before, you can opt out of subscribing at any time. And hopefully this will be the final test.
Test received, all is fine.
Test received.
Hi, Barbara! So nice to hear from you. Will always keep you posted! You would have enjoyed the gathering at Max and Benny’s a few weeks ago.
Keep up the great work and keep me in the loop (and I don’t just mean the one with the train on it;>).
Hi, Larry. Thanks for stopping by. I don’t have any information on your reunion, but if anyone does, please send a note and I can post it on the Von Steuben Alumni Association website too.
Received message. everything working fine.
I was in that von steuben graduating class of jan. 1965….I remember Ira Baygood and his cousin Chuck….his mother |Muriel and his grandmother Mrs, Paradise … His father Bernie was wine steward at the old Chez Paree night club…he lived on the 5800 block of north Drake… I sure would be interested in our 50th reunion information… please forward this to me at your convenience….
Hi Frances, hope all is well with your blog. I really enjoy it…..Howard
Hi, Ira. That was a really small class. Bryn Mawr has changed. The other long time business is Biltmore Cleaners on the north side, next to the gas station that was Milt and Morrie’s Shell. Thanks for stopping by.
Was working in the neighborhood last year, and the once thriving Bryn Mawr area had changed. All that I remember was Davis Imperial Cleaners…BTW, I just received an e-mail about a January 1965 class reunion…I believe we had only 75 graduates..
Hi, Susan. Thank you for letting me know. Hope you had a good weekend.
Thanks, Carol. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Thank you. I really appreciate all of the sharing. Brings back warm, happy memories. Have a great weekend!
Susan
I got it, too!! I always enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the great work!!
Hi, Ben. Looks like everyone got the blog, so we’re in business. I owe you a call — it’s been one thing after another. When my daughter goes away to sleep away camp, I’ll catch up with my blog.
Paul, thanks for letting me know the subscription is working.
Gary, thanks for letting me.
Rosie, thank you! Of course, I’ve learned that people who grew up in many different neighborhoods in Chicago all have similar memories … the corner candy store, lighted school house, clubs, etc. Hope all is well.
Carl, thank you! I love hearing everyone’s old stories. Brings the neighborhood back to life.
Chris, I switched because I was having problems with feedburner and learned that Google no longer provides any backup or support for feedburner.
Thanks, Harriet! Found it on facebook.
GOT IT …THANKS MUCH
Even though I am not from that area, I love reading the history and stories. Good luck with the new delivery method!
Seems to be working. Francis, thanks for the blog. Many old friends and I enjoy it.
Great Picture!
Got it…Good luck, I am think of using Mail Chimp as well.
Got your test, hope it works, ben
I really look forward to these articles and past memories Thanks Frances for putting it altogether
Yessir! Got it and the one before.
Every time I see a picture of Lawrence Avenue back in the days, it is like returning home again. Since I now live in Florida and have not been back to Chicago in many years, it really feels good. Thanks for the post and keep them coming!
Ben
