One more thing: I was wondering if anyone had any recollections or photos of, or information about, a couple of restaurants, circa 1945-46, that were on 63rd Street, between the Southtown and Halsted St. They are:
—Minuet's
—Parnell’s (owned by a Jim)
—China Clipper
You mentioned St. Martin’s. I was christened there. Of course, I don’t remember much of that :)
But I do remember the Southtown, and my parents bringing me there to see “The Beginning of the End” in about ‘58.
You might be interested in my mother’s 1945 diary, when she was 16, which I’m reconstructing day-by-day online in 2007, which has the same calendar as 1945. She lived at 61st & Normal: http://www.dhdd.net/dorothy/1945/today.html
