Why doesn’t anyone talk about the tragedy that is Peppermint Patty?
tsar4 replied to Still Me's topic in Free-For-All
I always took it that there are different aged kids. Linus is younger than his sister Lucy. I always thought Marcy was around Linus's age and Lucy at Charlie & Peppermint Patty's age. Charlie's sister Sally is Linus & Marcy's age. Violet and the other Patty (who are barely shown in later comics) are older than Charlie. My take always was that the younger the character, the more innocence they portrayed and therefore attached themselves to one of the older characters. Linus to Charlie, Marcy to P. Patty. As much as Charlie gets dumped on, particularly by Lucy, she still hangs around him a lot. -

Besides the "kids stuff" they had Family Classics (Lassie Come Home, Treasure Island, Captain Blood, Heidi, etc.), pretty much old 50s/60s shows like The Cisco Kid, The Lone Ranger, Sherlock Holmes movies, Charlie Chan movies, the Cubs. The Superstation was more than likely made for Chicagoans who had left the state. WGN did have wrestling (Dick the Bruiser, The Crusher, Baron von Raschke...), the White Sox, the Bears, the Bulls, the Black Hawks, Roller Derby, Demolition Derbys...but they'd dumped that stuff long before the Superstation existed (obviously they didn't have the clout to pull in full schedules of the Chicago teams after the mid-60s).

In it's heyday, young women who weren't even engaged were requesting tickets, because the wait list was 7 years long. I was just a little kid watching it, when they broke in to announce JFK had been assassinated. I ran into another room to tell my folks & they were sure I had misheard the news.

WGN became a cable network. It's always been a local Chicago station (WGN = Worlds Greatest Newspaper aka Chicago Tribune).

Don't worry about what your coworkers think. If you're not getting feedback from your immediate boss or HR, be proactive and ask them if you're living up to expectations. If not, ask them what you need to improve on. You can also ask what you do well. A good manager will give you feedback. If they say they don't have time and won't say when they will - start looking elsewhere for work. Odds are your coworkers are fos. If you weren't doing your job well, you would have been let go.

They're wrong on George Bailey. He never recovered from being deaf in one ear from saving his brother. BTW - I love that the "Bert & Ernie" muppet names come from this movie (Cop & Cabbie).

You mean like "Pepsi and Moxie"?

I know the feeling about having a place close. There was a shop in the Chicago Suburbs that I used to get Biala and Kishka for my Dad & ship it to them. Just before he passed away, I checked the website and found a bunch of Yelp posts saying they'd just closed all the sudden. There was a sign up stating they were going to open in a new site, but that disappeared after a couple days. The website is still functioning & has rotating daily specials, but the place never reopened and the phone number is defunct. A lot of the refrigeration equipment is still there...or was as of the last pic someone posted. Even the local paper found it strange. https://kalinowskideli.com/sausages.html -
