Most of this should be sorted out Monday....
Weathers been relatively good here, well, for February anyway  .....
The officer at the scene said she admitted to monkeying with her OnStar program when this happened.....She was from North of the city and was trying to find the Oakbrook mall.....
Should know more this Monday, gonna try and get a shot of the damage then as well..... |
Funny, I was in OaK Brook this week!

Wasn't the Bozo show from Oak Brook? I loved that chap when I was a kid! Nothing like the grand prize game...I hope somebody knows what I am talking about or this is going to seem like a really weird post. I grew up in Champaign and my TV was stuck on Channel 9 WGN.

If you are talking Bozo the clown, we had a local NJ version of the show. I loved him too, although later we used to call a guy a "bozo" if he was a clown of a different ilk.
BTW-I was offered a job once located in Champain. I spent three days there checking it out.
Small world, no?

Very small....aren't we 7 people removed from knowing everybody in the world?
Yep, I was talking about Bozo the clown and do you remember Wizzo the wizard? He ran around saying doodee doodee doodee. Um, this really got weird...going back to my beer and TV.

Welcome to Illinois!
Bozo had a sidekick named cookie right? With orange hair? I grew up in south-eastern Wisconsin, but now live in the Western suburbs. I loved to practice the Grand Prize Game at home with garbage cans!

We had a local Bozo. I went to see him live on day where he was doing a telethon.
We did NOT have a Wizzo the wizard. Must be a mid west only phenom.
