Now all the big house and stuffy noses. Dad has 3 acres, the green sided house (far left) empty lot where the wood is , and the house to the right That was my moms dream house, (god rest her soul) big kitchen, big garden and lot of room for her flowers
 
Dedicated man, but it must be nice to see dad all the time, piles look good to, how much can you fit at your place?

Yes, I know.

Every day in Calumet City people dance in the streets to Ray Charles. That's what I used to tell people when they would bring up the Blues Brothers when I told them I was from Calumet City.
 
All these years later, I am still amazed at how many people around the world know this movie. I was at CNN's HQ in Mumbai, India, four years ago and a 20 year old intern started talking to me about the Blues Brothers in perfect "Dan Aykroyd" English. I asked him how he knew the movie; he said that his dad bought it on VHS cassette tape back in the mid-1980s while studying in Chicago on a student visa, and uses that movie to teach English to all his kids. I mean, his screen saver was a picture of the entrance of the Joliet Correctional Facility!

In India, they burn all kinds of wet wood for fuel. Way too much smoke.....

The music group, "Hanson", had a song/video about five years ago (Thinking 'Bout Someone) that was, frame for frame, the scene from Ray's Music Exchange.
 
Love the Blues Brothers movie, my moms side of the family all lived close to the mall many many years ago.
