What were those? Mobil? Rand McNally? Those don't sound right. It was something else.

I'd pour over those things.


Weren't they AAA?


Not these. I'd know it if I heard it. This is gonna drive me nuts.

How does one not know how to read a map? What does an inability to read a map consist of?


The biggest problem I have seen is being able to translate 1 inch = 5 miles, or whatever calculation is there. I was able to get a pretty accurate estimate of how many miles it would take. The next problem is being able to foresee when the next road is coming up. It sounds really simple, but its a problem.

To open up a sub-topic here, I feel many people are frustrated by things such as maps, but they were really a part of a genre of survival tools. People were frustrated with hunting and gathering and eventually got to where we are now with grocery stores. I can assume a fairly high percentage of us would not survive a food shortage as we wouldn't know how to grow and store our own food. Hell, most kids coming out of school now are so dependent on technology that I'm not sure how they will function during a cyber-war.


I love maps. I hang antique ones in frames in my house

Waiting until 10:30 pm to watch the tape delayed game of the day in the NCAA Tournament.

Being called inside so you could run up to the store with 75 cents (& a note from your grandmother) to buy L&M cigarettes from the cigarette machine for her.

Wandering around the neighborhood to find returnable glass pop bottles to find $ for a new rubber Strikeout ball.

Telephone busy signals. (Few had a second line back in the 70's & if someone's mom was on the phone, forget about it)

Only being able to buy fireworks from the "bad" neighborhood kids...because "responsible" parents didn't want their kids shooting off fireworks....or going all the way to Indiana to get "the good stuff"

The "good stuff" was roman candles & M-80's

Getting up before 5 am on the weekends & having to wait on the television stations to "begin their broadcast day" (and then having to watch Orion Samuelson or the Magic Door)

Watching Night Owl on Channel 32. (Nothing but a news scroll that ran in lieu of actual programming until about 2am, and being grateful)

6 cd changer in the trunk of my car. It really made you plan for long car trips because getting access to the trunk in a moving car can prove difficult.

Here's a boatload of old timey (mostly) Chicago-specific TV ....

Somebody brought up Arthur Treacher's a few weeks ago ... here's a commercial for them:

like just about everything Meier has ever done, Cliff was created by someone else (Dahl in this case) who handed it off to him because they didn't want to do it. I was listening to Meier the other day and the guy is a dim light bulb. He has mastered the technique of letting others talk and then playing off of them because he offers nothing original himself.

Cliff was the studio announcer for WGN not WFLD.

Sticking a screwdriver inside my carberator to keep the flap open which in turn would start up my 1983 Old Cutlass Supreme. (Black with red interior,of course)

One time,I had used some Carb startup spray and a giant flame shot out...good times.

Getting a daily paper used to be the only consistent news source. Now anyone can go online and obtain information anytime, or turn on any of the news shows to get some news. Huge shift in information dynamics.
