Stayed here with family in June 1997, came over from Canterbury Kent U.K. to meet up with cousins in Chicago and visit my grandmother’s grave in Elmwood cemetery. <br />We were well looked after at the Radisson and have very good memories, a bit isolated maybe but we got around and saw the fabulous Chicago. Want to return! 💕Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-21966843812070928432021-04-30T11:22:41.064-05:002021-04-30T11:22:41.064-05:00I worked parking cars in the late '60s.

My boss gave me $5 so i could tip him when i came in with my date that night. I tipped him, he treated my date like a celebrity, and kept my car (my mom's '68 Pontiac LeMans convertible purchased at Peter Epstein Pontiac) in the fourth aisle under the roof, pointing out. This was the premium spot. I had a fun job there, lots of memories. I even made a short video on site detailing some of the adventures.. Loved your writing here, Dr. Gale!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674502307053391978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-10265047683544326872018-05-02T21:01:39.769-05:002018-05-02T21:01:39.769-05:00Thank you!-my Dad Loved to be involved in the Hist...Thank you!-my Dad Loved to be involved in the Historical Society and passed this love on to me!
