    Today is National Cancer Survivors Day. Once you or someone in your life is diagnosed with cancer, your life changes forever. We need to fight this horrible disease together and save lives. I am happy to participate in this special day! Thank you!
    Episode 225 of Vanished Chicagoland Stories The Podcast is now available to listen to! I will discuss Clutch Cargo, The Animated Series, and my earliest memories of using the internet for the first time. https://youtu.be/NbUS1f0orxQ
    In the next episode of Vanished Chicagoland Stories The Podcast, I will discuss this show! It’s going to be riot! It’s coming soon!
    Here is a photo of the Happy Van from Wieboldt’s Department Stores in Chicago.
    Thank you, everyone, for your comments and your support! Now, back to the fun! Here are Four Creature Features posters that were inserted in The Chicago Today Newspaper in 1971.
    I had to block somebody from Facebook today because he told me what I am doing on Vanished Chicagoland is stupid, worthless, and it’s full of s**t. He also said the same thing about me personally. I won’t be discouraged. I do what I love, and I will always be positive!
