The list goes on and on!

If you miss KewPee go to Lima. "Hamburg, pickle on top, makes your heart go Flippity Flop". Still in the old building. They used to have the narrow parking lot dead end into a building. You would pull your car up to the building which would place you on top of a large metal plate. You would honk and a guy inside the restaraunt would pull a switch that rotated the plate so that you were faccing back toward the street. It was my favorite part of eting there.

How about Arthur Treachers in Franklin Park Mall? I know the guy who parents used to own that place!

Remember the Brondes commericals, especially the "Cat Scan" one. After he died, the funny commericals went away.

You can remember when Channel 24 used to be ABC and Channel 13 was NBC before the switch in 1995.

Dave Carlson was the weather guy on Ch. 24 and Diane Larson was the news anchor.

Jerry Anderson was on Ch. 13 before going to Ch. 11.

Who was the better sportscaster? Orris Tabner or Jim Tichey

Just so everyone knows: COSI Center Of Science and Industry. C.O.S.I. Just thought that I would answer the question in the list.

I've been told Phil and Don got in a little trouble with Ford for some of their silly commercials, like smashing windshields and then turning them in on warranty claims

The 2nd generation has started to return to the day of the silly commercials too...it's kinda neat.
