I think it was Aunt Teaks and Uncle Junks. BTW No one mentioned the **** Robin across the street from Duane St. school aka the Civic Center. The glass storefront was replaced by the chevron patterned cedar siding which we still get to look at to this day.

I wasn't aware you can't say **** on this board. What if you were talking about a **** fight or wanted to say **** a doodle do. Oh well, that's probably a good thing knowing some the folks in here.

I would have, but I didn't want to get in trouble for posting that word! The Broadview location closed in 2007, I think it was the last one  |

There is another idea for our downtown. We could hit it when we leave the knitting party after we pick up our Cd's. LOL

Scribbler, I agree about the lunch buffet at Mykha's, but dinner - I've NEVER had a bad meal and find the flavors wonderful. Some people don't like Vietnamese....perhaps that's what you don't like. But I do LOVE it - for dinner.
I haven't been in GE long enough to remember a lot of the places that TA, Gregg, and Candidate remember but my husband remembers lots of them. I would love to see an old fashioned car-hop.

Maybe the hangin' noose was a bad idea... Aunt Teaks and Uncle Junks was the western suburbs' answer to Chicago Claim Company on Clark Street. Fern bar is a perfect description. They made "stuffed" hamburgers. Cheese, mushrooms, etc. Oh, the sodium. Oh, the cholesterol. Oh, the humanity. At the same time, there was a place in Lombard and another in Addison called "Italian U-Boats". Great subs. No portion control lunchmeats there. Ronald M. Kas |

Is it too late to express some love for Beef O'Brady's?

We had our very own Italian U-Boat on Roosevelt RD. It was between the Stereo Store (Glen Ellyn Pharmacy) and Hesterman’s Bowling Alley (Some Bank) and across the street from the Laundromat (Caribou Coffee). I actually worked there for a very short time. I quit because the Night Manager thought the entire crew should participate in smoking pot. Besides my aversion to drugs, I felt pot combined with sharp knives was a very bad idea. |

and before the IU-B it was Swank Cue Club. image that, a pool hall in GE! (btw, before Swank, the whole building -- including the side with the Stereo Shop -- was Perkin's Pancake House) |

Hmm you must be older than me... I barely remember the cue club, but I have zero recollection of the Perkin's Pancake House. Maybe I don’t remember that because I didn’t get out much… I spent the majority of my childhood either causing trouble or being punished for said trouble. |

i lived at clark & fullerton in the late 70s. . . had a few meals at the Claim Company. i think there eventually was one at Oak Brook too. btw, LOVE the hangin' noose reference. "now clean yer plates buckaroos, or mean judge bean will swing ya frum dem dere rafters." |

GW class of '76. if you were a teen causing trouble around that time, chances are good that we knew each other. |

Got my 1977 Monte Carlo towed from that Jewel lot at Clark and Belden and bribed the Lincoln Park Pirate to take it off the hook! And you probably ate at Mel Markon's. Or RJ Grunt's. A treasure trove of bad hair, bad clothes, and fun. Don't forget Lawrence of Oregano! Or best of all, Arnie's. Pardon me while my bones creak. Ronald M. Kas |

Nope, I was at Hadely suffering through 7th grade in 76’. |
