I miss Chi-Town. What a GREAT mix of old, new, good, and bad. I MISS seeing the skyscrapers, the "old-azz" buildings, the "L" trains, the bridges, and of course all the fine eateries and "drinkeries." One of my goals for retirement is to open an honest, good-old - old school "Bar" on the corner. Anyone remember those? My Grammies neighborhood (Cicero) was unique. I grew up playing cards with 70-somethings while playing with my friends in their backyards. We used to walk the block and laugh at the fact that within a 1/4 mile you could see a "burlesque" bar, a Catholic church, and a good-ole fashioned "dive" with a "Pabst" sign hanging over the doorway. I guess now you can see why I am conflicted. I cant think of a better city to open my bar in. Chicago!!!!! (sorry for the rant).

Don't let Stephanie see a BumbleBee, she would want one of those.
Can't wait to see the pictures for myself, but won't show her. |

here is what I got this morning at 8am
Just heard from CorvetteConti.com fan Steve Rubin in Chicago….he has a 1966 Yellow in the show and stumbled into the Chevy display and saw a VERY DRAMATIC POINTY FRONT END of a Corvette under a cover behind a black curtain guy told him ” get out of there” that is a surprise for Wednesday’s press conference (THAT’S TODAY) from GM…. Nice job Steve and we JUST GOT THIS PICTURE IN…. Rick and Greg / EVS Wisconsin! You know, they did use Chicago as a launch for the 2007 Indy Pace car and the Ron Fellows edition…..I even went the Chicago Autoshow website, because they have webcams and this is the message I got WEB CAMS DUE TO THE MOVE IN OF EMBARGOED VEHICLES, THE WEB CAMS ARE CURRENTLY DISABLED. They will be restored on Wednesday at about Noon. In the meantime, feel free to browse through our gallery of move in images” I asked Steve this morning Could it just be the official unveiling of the Centennial from the new Transformers movie…..makes the most sense? (this car?!) YEA BUDDY: BumbleBee looks cool too. I'll be there Sunday |

WOW that picture is amazing i hope that is the new corvette that you get to see for half a second in the transformers trailer. http://www.transformersmovie.com/
Going to the Chicago Show on V-DAY all day with my GF. Bringing 2 memory sticks and plenty of batteries. Should be awesome a I ca not wait to sit in a Camaro. I saw the concept the last two years and my GF was getting mad because she thought that staring at it for 30 minutes was long enough. (shes come around and loves the car too now) Hope to see some of you there! I'll be the guy trying to to drool on the car! |
