Happy Friday (or whenever the algorithm allows you to see this) from Blonde Ambition Package Delivery Service. We only have three customers and we pay them, not the other way around. This is what happens when you get an MBRay instead of an MBA. Have a great December.

Today’s the 30th anniversary for south side Chicago (McKinley Park) store the Video Strip, one of the last DVD/game/VHS stores open in Chicago. They do repairs and sell equipment too. I have nothing to do with them but love to support anyone keeping physical media alive! facebook.com/thevideostrip

Happy birthday on the other side, Dad. No idea what 8 track you got for your birthday in this photo, but Muddy Waters had a comeback album that year so I’ll guess it’s that or Rolling Stones’ Some Girls. Either way, I hope you’re attending ChicagoFest in the afterlife. Miss you

It’s nice to get presents! Thanks to my friend Trish for this Pope-riffic Sox shirt. Chicago folk, she bought it at the Big Kahuna shirt shop on Halsted in Bridgeport.

Hire the dude that shows up with his own tools and says please and thank you. Johnny kicked ass on the groundskeeping again. Back 40 at the Ogle County house (with the auxiliary garage that holds 5 jukeboxes and a hot tub in view). We’re getting ready to sell/move stuff

The owner wants to retire and sell the business plus the liquor and food licenses (pretty sure he wants $2 million). Anyone ever hear of a banquet hall being converted into a different, interesting use? (Yeah, I know, a lot of them get renovated or turned into churches) 2/2

Nothing like Walgreens at 530 pm on Valentine's Day, with the long line of men carrying oversized teddy bears, balloons, and heart shaped boxes of candy. Good luck out there, fellas!

My father owned a record store. It's intimidating to suddenly own thousands of records and other pieces of memorabilia. Gotta move through it slowly. Some finds this week.
