Chicago - A message from the station manager

’58 Corvette

By Gateway Classic Cars

“The C-1 Corvettes have always been popular and were completely redesigned in 1958 with quad headlights and chrome trunk spears.
“One of the very popular designs of the time was the exhaust coming through the rear bumper removing the ugly exhaust tips dangling from the underside of the trunk pan.
“This Signet Red beauty with white coves and matching Signet Red interior is sure to impress at any show.
“Recently this car was given a Bloomington Gold certification and this car is ready to show and collect some awards.

“This car was ordered from the factory with a soft-top delete and has the original fiberglass hardtop included.”

See, I was expecting parents whose strictness was beyond reason. That’s not them at all. I love you, DeWayne and Vanessa Davis!
While I wouldn’t necessarily have wanted to live in their house, I found them to be eminently fair in their parenting.
And the kids from England sent to live with them? Awful.

Chicagoetry: Dancing With Men

By J.J. Tindall

DANCING WITH MEN
Remembering Neo
My blood would chill
And the micro-hairs
On the back of my neck
Would stiffen
Whenever the trill,
The sinister wobble,
Of the opening to
“She Sells Sanctuary”
