North Shore Magazine, Choo Choo restaurant blurb
Posted by pbjwilson on Monday, May 21, 2007 8:42 PM

For those of you in the Chicago area - North Shore magazine has a nice little mention of the Choo Choo restaurant in Des Plaines, including a great vintage photo of a pre-war engine pulling a train full of burgers, dogs and other delectibles. Check it out at your newsstand.

Save the trip. Heres the photo and story

I will on a few conditions.

1. Find me a great paying job that allows me to have a large basement so I can play with trains, and travel to Cali. to be a Reservist in the A.F.

2. Get me outta that town for the winters. That's the whole season! OR, supply me with everything I need to survive the winter while I lock myself in the basement to play with trains. Then maybe you gotta deal.Big Smile [:D]
