This is one of my favorite photos during the Thanksgiving season! I have coconut cream and lemon meringue pies in the freezer. What kind of pie are you planning to have on Thanksgiving Day? Please leave a comment. Thank you!

Joe Bohannon, also known as Jobo, has passed away at the age of 70. I used to listen to him and Eddie Volkman on their morning show on B96 in the 1980s. We became Facebook friends a couple of years ago. I will talk about him on my next podcast episode this weekend. I'm very sad.

One of my cherished childhood memories is visiting Woolworth’s. This photo reminds me of the one located at the corner of E 113th St & S. Michigan Ave in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. The building still stands there.
