cutting block!! ewwweee, but just you wait!!! you will be soo happy you did all this!!!

I want to visit Chicago, My dad lived there in the Wicker park area and he was across the street from a park and He had the EL running behind his block of houses. He rode the EL to the Mercantile to sell newspapers and he also sold papers in front of the Chicago theater. I showed him his old hood and such on Google Earth and was he amazed, he is in his mid 80's.

and I want so see Oprah!! too!

Good luck in the OR!!
