    I was born 49 years ago on January 13th, 1974 and my parents remembered the snowstorm that hit Chicago 56 years ago.

    Wow! Thanks for putting this together! My brother was in the very last January graduating class at Lane Tech on the evening the blizzard hit. Won't forget it! I fondly remember seeing my 1st snowmobile where I lived at Belmont & Central. All these stores that are no more... Thanks again!

    Brings back some good memories. My children were two and nine months old. Lived in the suburbs but all the ads were familiar. Remember my husband driving on top of the packed up snow . We had a VW and it just chugged along riding the snow. Drove from the University of Chicago to Broadview. After that he helped protect the local store owner from some very ugly acting people when supplies of milk were getting low.

    Rainbow Food & Liquors was my first job (1972), but somewhere I have a folding paper "High-Low Foods Grocer's Hat". Among other "goodies" is a small "Dutch Boy White Lead Wet Paint" sign, replete with my Grandpa's name and address: "Gus Lundin 12543 S Elm, Blue Island, Ill." Probably from 1935-45?
