ChiTown had one of the first fan-made Blumo's in Chicago.

Here's a blast from the past, pic is from Bismo's flickr. This should make all us Blues Central reprobates feel old, pic is from 16 years ago !!

There's a few more pics from that day at Bismo's flickr. (I didn't hotlink these, Bis, just y'know rented them for a few minutes. Your cheque for $23.07 is in the mail)





^ Nice. Did you ever get another shitbox Dodge, Johnny ?

Big Ed hasn't been by in many years. The last time I asked about him, TK mentioned that he still has his Blumo. And TK still has his. Zak sold his and is now an O-gauge train guy on daTube. "Country Bunkers Trains"

- www.youtube.com/@countrybunkerstrains

I've watched a bunch of his vids and they're excellent. He has an entire sun-room dedicated to his trains, the layouts are very cool and colorful complete with buildings and die-cast cars and yes indeed you'll spot a Bluesmobile among the cars. Also very informative vids and he's got around 7,000 subscribers now. Here's an example of O-gauge info he puts out there ...





And Bismo has sold both his cars. You'll recall he had a Crown Vic AND a Monaco, both gone now but he has recently expressed interest in finding another Monaco.

So with some folks migrating to facebook and some selling their cars things have gotten fairly quiet around here. Not that it was ever a super busy place or anything but just a lot quieter than the first few years we were here. Truth be told my own participation has diminished in the last year or so but hopefully I'll be back to logging in more again soon. I still enjoy it, just other stuff happening lately.

SERENITY NOW ... lol

How's life in Chicago ? Been to Wrigley Field lately ?

Who'da'what'now?

ChiTown's back?
Nice.

For those whom might be new around here, you may recognize his car from the Greenlight dicast Monaco's.
