Hi Everyone. Thanks for signing the guestbook.

This website brings back a lot of memories of my early years!

Thanks for the memories! I went to Poe Grade School, class of Jan., 1953, Fenger High School, class of Jan., 1957. I lived at 105th and Eberhart Avenue. Hi, to all my former classmates and friends! Anybody remember Junior Achievement at the Pullman Factory building?

Hi,
Just went on your webisite and saw my 7th and 8th grade class picture posted from Kohn school. I have all of my school picutres. You have captured some great memories here. Great job.

We've lived in Warren Twp, NJ, Augusta GA and Houston TX but Roseland for my wife and me will always be home. My wife graduated Fenger in 1955 and in 2005 we attended her 50th Anniversary Reunion at Ravisloe CC where I caddied. After the Cocktail Party we settled to our tables and listened to speeches from the notables. As a surprise from the back of the room who should come in but Ron Nietupski with City Championship Trophy.
Red and Green Pride Fever filled the Room.

Hi,

Both of my parentsand all of my family lived in the Roseland area. Mom attended St. Solemea and St. Louis Academy. Just wondering if anyone here knew them...Barbara Lyson and Joseph Madon. Mom lived on Indiana avenue, across from St. Solemea. Are there any pictures of the church now? or her neighborhood?

Thank you

Wow, found this by accident while reminicing about Roseland Chrstian school (1972),
Lived at 106 th and Eberhardt. Remember same small store at 106th and bought pretzel rods there on Sats. Remember we had a neighbor who'd son was famous on a NBA team, Knicks, I think. Can't remember name. And Jesse Jackson living down around 103 St. just starting operation PUSH. Green Rivers in gatelys basement, the police helecopters with spotlights in the alley on fri. nights meant the gas station on 106th and M.L.K. had been knocked off again. Going to the Salvation Army on 111th and walking up the hill to pick up an evening Tribune.

What a great site!!!!!! I can still smell Panetti's bread!!! Another very good place to get beef and salami was Pullman Liquor at 115th st.
Adding a little about myself for those that may remember me or my family. I was born in Evergreen Park, I lived at 12330 S. Michigan Ave in the upstairs apt. The family we rented from was the Sikora family and Wanda is my godmother. Grandma lived at 11912 S. State next to the Shell Station my dad Chester, and uncles John and Joe ran for years. Moved to central illinois and returned to Chicago the year I graduated 1971. Worked at State Sandwich Shop on Michigan ave across from my uncle Pauls barber shop. Grandmas house was across from Opyt Funeral Home.
Also looking for Tommy whose father owned Henrys Grocery on 17 w 119th st. They lived above the store.
Thanks for making this site because I was safely, able to visit grandmas house again!!!

Anyone that remembers me or my family is welcome to contact me. THANKS

I lived at 125th and S.Michigan Avenue(12484 across from Roseland South Little League),graduated Gompers in 1970,spent 1971 at the West Pullman branch of Fenger(I believe the second floor of the school was devoted to Fenger),part of 1972 at Fenger main til I transferred to D.D.Eisenhower in Blue Island right before my dad retired from CPD,then we moved to St.Petersburg,Florida and finished my senior year in Florida 1973-1974.Yes I have many memories of Roseland and the more time I spent on this site and others really brought back the good times...hanging out at the little league with the guys and gals after school,Jawors grocery across from Gompers,Pesaventos restaurant,when the wind blew out of the north you could smell Torino's Bakery and the fresh bread,Pullman Park and the frozen tennis courts to play hockey,Sunday night pizza at home from Giovanni's...on and on.

For the old timers out there...was not the Pit the drive-in that burnt down in the mid 60's...the one on 127th and State Street?I also remember Vera's Truck Stop....standing on 127th pumping my arm up and down to get the truckers to blow their air horns.Ah to be a kid growing up in Roseland again.

Reading through the messages I saw 2 names I remember from Gompers...Barbara Woodward and Bruno Alberello.WOW.What a small world.

Keep up the great work and live on forever the memories of Roseland!

This is great, brings back alot of memories. Doesn't seem that long ago we were all enjoying a walk down the "ave".
