Maxwell Street Head Shop that

This is Jimmy's Original Jewtown Polish stand
in the daytime before noon. This place is 24 - 7 and serves
one of the best Polish sausages in Chicago.

This is Clark House, Chicago's oldest house
that is still standing. It is a little hard to find, but if
you hunt hard enough you'll get lucky.. Hint (it's west of
the Shedd Aquarium and East of Michigan Ave.)

That's Johnny standing with Eddie Berner,
Chicago's Number One Blues Fan. He knows all the stars and
they all know him. He also knows all their songs (word for
word) and always requests their original compositions.

This is my adopted sister Karla outside one of
the many closed shops on what's left of Maxwell St. You have
to love the merchandise they offered. (snicker

Nick is one of my close friends here in
Chicago. He and his wife Shirley have a great restaurant on
the southwest corner of Rockwell and Lawrence. It's called
CAFE GOGO's. Nick is one of the best cooks I know and on the
weekends you'll find him grilling a mouth watering
assortment of carnivorous delights prepared Greek style.

Karla and Georgina at CAFE GOGO. It was
Georgina's birthday and she shared some fabulous Greek
pastries with us.. MMMMM good

Halsted

There's some of Nick's fine cooking now
This is my adopted brother East Side Mikey P
with Karla. Mikey and I have become very close since I
arrived in Chicago in 1998. We were over having supper at
his place the night this picture was taken. BIG bottle of
wine and delicious culinary delights prepared by Mikey. He's
a pretty good bass player too.
