We had a Siamese cat that would sit in my folks bedroom window and howl for Ms Pepina Le Pew to come visit. She made her arrival known as only she could.

Whoever responded when we'd get hacked on a weekend.

Candy Capital of the US was one of the nicknames that Chicago lost over the years - Mars, Brach's, Curtiss, Wrigley, Ferrara, and a bunch of others were headquartered there. Beer Capital of the US was another.

I used to drive past the Ferrara Pan factory often, even applied to them when I was laid off.

To the best of my knowledge, 0. Who knows, it's not like I know anybody's real name or that [asmb] or this place would come up in a conversation. That being said, a friend of mine was in a bar in Chicago and got into conversation with the guy sitting next to him. They got along pretty well and then discovered they had a strange connection. The guy's father was the one who fired my friend from a retail management job about 100 miles away from Chicago. "Of all the gin joints..."

A friend of mine and I thought about buying a corner bar in Chicago and naming it "Paradise Lost".

I was one of those people. PHF was funny, Milk Chan was meh. I still crack up at the Annoying Hot Dog.
