RECORD ROW
Chicago's Record Row In addition to being a resource for archived stories, this is a place to share anecdotes about Chicago's Record Row, to network about Record Row developments and an opportunity for locals and tourists to comment on their experiences along Record Row.
hey Dave,
Roeser's is a great place! Remember on Bozo Circus when a Roeser Bakery gift certificate was one of the prizes for throwing a ping pong ball into a bucket during the Grand Prize Game! Those were the days.
A friend of mine has a great story about a guy who pouted all the way to Wisconsin after he wasn't able to buy a chocolate donout at Roeser. Very funny story!
