We lived in Burnside, and then moved to Cottage Grove Heights. Roseland was home. My mom worked at People's Store and yes, I still wear aprons, rub our chests with Vicks when we're sick, and do almost all the things mentioned. You can take the girl out of Roseland but you can't ever take Roseland out of the girl.

I enjoyed those years. More so than I realized.

Doing some family history work and looking for old pictures from Roseland, St. Anthony parish and Fenger HS

Grew up on 300 W. 107th Street and moved to 15530 S. Harvard. Went to St Willy's, Brennan and Fenger. Graduated HS in 1969. Played in the Band Caretakers all through HS. Miss everything about Roseland. Currently in Yorkville, Illinois. Just went to Panozzo's Deli on 13th and Michigan Ave a few weeks ago.

I miss the people, friends and the old hang outs.

Glad to have found this site. As we all miss the old neighborhood.

Great Site!

Any people from Poe School Langley

I had a job, I had to be young (and stupid, stupid comes with young) at the Chicken Unlimited, 111th and Michigan. My job was to keep things clean in the back room, and make the chicken. I was very good at keeping the kitchen clean. I mean, it was spotless. The stainless steel gleamed. The deal with cooking meant I loaded up the cooker, it was a pressure cooker. When the bird got cooked, I had to flip the switch that turned the cooker off, then waited until it cooled, then take that batch out, tell the folks up front the meat was ready, and then go through the whole process.

Oh, did I mention, I had to keep cleaning throughout this whole process. Well, one night, I had just finished cooking a batch, hit the switch to turn it off, released the steam, and went back to cleaning. Got involved, time passes, all of a sudden it gets to smelling like something's burning. OH, GOSH, THE CHICKEN, I FORGOT TO TAKE UP THE CHICKEN!!

Well, as you can imagine, I thought I was in big doodoo trouble. Lost the whole damn load of chicken. But the boss was pretty cool about it, just told me to throw it away and hurry up, make another batch. But the coolest thing was, just as I was leaving, he said, "Nice job cleaning."

My mom worked at Heinz Drug store for years. Her name was
