PRESENTING
What beauty from the parking lot stands along the Fox River! The prices are higher nowadays, but, heck, I remember paying 25 cents for a gallon of gasoline, too.
And (take it, Erin and Leland... ) a box of Kraft Dinner macaroni and cheese cost only ll cents.
["Yah-yah, we know, Dad."]
Yes, my mother used to give me a dime and a penny to go up to Budzien's grocery at Oakland and Arcadian to buy a box of that still magical product.
But there's nothing like real vegetables, produced from area truck gardens and brought at dawn by the grower-operators, delicacies sure to explode their super-fresh flavors on your palette.
Smiling customers crossed the foot-bridge over the Fox in high anticipation as I walked to the car with my hefty load. Now to take a knife to that luscious stalk of brussel sprouts. To have some slices of real tomatoes..........
