Been meaning to post a message for some time. Went to the picnic last August and saw some people I never thought I would see again - it was great! I lived at 103rd & Green and then at 122nd & Michigan. Went to Mt. Vernon and Gompers grammar schools and then Fenger. Kinda scary. It was a great place to grow up; there will never be another neighborhood like it. Hey, Tombo, the little store on 122nd was called Kreczmer's Pantry run and owned by Angie Kreczmer and the two taverns on the corners were Sola's and DalPonte's. Love the site!

What a great site! Can't wait to send to my brothers, found two of them in different Scanlan pics. There were seven of us, we lived at 28 W. 114th Pl., down the street from Curtis. Went to Scanlan School through 4th grade, moved in 1970. Last time I drove through Roseland, the spray-painted square was still on the side of Curtis High School brick wall, facing 115th . . . that was our "strike zone" when playing rubber ball games in the school lot all summer long. So many great memories, but if my kids ever did some of the stuff that we did in the city . . . I wouldn't be happy!
Many mentions of Dal Santo's --> they are still in business and located right here in Crete on Steger Road and I am right next door at RE/MAX - stop by and say hi!

My parents went to Fenger, also.

Lived at 117th. and Indiana.. between St. Anthony's and St. Salomea. Spent many fun filled hours at Kensington (Dead End) playground. Comadeca's lived next door...best neighbors in the world. Great times playing 16" softball on the street. Great aromas from Jay's and Torino bread but not Sherwin Williams!
Trying to find Dan Turillo from the class of '60 from Fenger.

We are planning a "Pre" 50th Reunion for the June, 1963 Class of Fenger High School for sometime in August, 2010. So far we have located about 125 classmates and hope to find more within the next month. If you know of anyone from our class please pass this message along and have them contact me at lauriecurci@comcast.net. Thanks for your help! Great website - had fun reading about the "good old days" and the hometown feel we all had growing up in Roseland.

Thanks for this terrific web site. It's like walking down memory lane. We are so fortunate to have lived in such a wonderful neighborhood.
I still have dreams of how it used to be. Unfortunately my husband and I went into the area this summer. Down 119th to Indiana, and then to St Anthony's. I wanted to cry. But it's so much better to think back on all the happy days that we had there.
My uncles owned Zordan Music Shop and 114th and Michigan.
I graduated from Fenger in '63. My husband from Mendel the same year.
Cathi B. I forgot about the Debs. Boy the fun times at Popple's. I always got in trouble because I always came home late.
Love reading all the comments.

Great job on the Roseland site! Who do I thank?
When I think of Roseland the first thing I think of (outside of the "Ave" and Peoples Store) are sports teams. And what a great sport-minded communiy it was. I was a proud member of the undeafted 1960 Palmer Park Bears football squad. Also played with Pullman Bank of the Roseland LL and the Fernwood Park Dodgers in Babe Ruth League baseball. Oh, yes, also played with Bethany Reformed in the church softball fastpitch league at Palmer Park in the late 50s. Somebody has to get a photo up of the Roseland North All Stars who went to the final game of the 1967 Little League World Series at Williamsport. Probably the only "Chicago" team to ever go that far.
Attended Kohn and Van Vlissingen grade shcools and Fenger High. Go Titans -- Spartans for you old-timers (1930s).
