I grew up in Morton Grove and lived there until I was 5. It's been almost two decades but I remember a surprising lot about it.

Is Jewel, Venture and Dominicks still there?
What about Park View School? I still remember the orange and blue playground.
If anyone lives in the area of Lake Ave. and Central, I still remember my address...

Venture (the one on Touhy? Or Dempster?) Long gone....

THe Jewel is pretty new and on Waukegan Road now, where the old Morton Grove Movie Theater used to be. There is a Home Despot there now too. Don't know about the Dominicks.

I grew up just off of Harlem Avenue.

All the Ventures throughout IL are gone - about 7 years ago now...

I used to live in Skokie, on Lincoln Avenue, just east of the Edens Expressway.  before I got a job transfer to Texas.  For me,  Illinois is a nice to visit, but I wouldn't live there because of the gun laws.

I work for Skokie and I know a lot has changed in the 14 years I've been there...
It used to be a Jewel/Venture on Skokie Blvd, just south of Golf.  Yup, the Venture stores all closed and now its a Jewel, Osco, Marshalls, Old Navy....

This is interesting! Another expensive hobby. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1005945. I wondered how many other reefers there are on here.
