Uncle Edgar's

I have been a bit busy with other projects and have been unable to submit much as of late.  I did take this picture of Uncle Edgar's Mystery Store located at 2864 Chicago Ave recently and enjoyed the image.

Uncle Edgar's

Uncle Edgar's used to be located on 4th Ave. just north of Franklin Ave. and west of 35W.  Now it's on Chicago near Lake St.  See inside in earlier PhillipWhittier365 photo by F. Davis DiPiazza, Feb. 12, 2011.  Or even better, go inside yourself.

Kemps Delivery Truck

As seen from the side, this truck is so big, it looks like a set in a stage play, while making cars look like toys.  I saw this from the back while I was driving and had to follow it on Lyndale so I could get beside it for a photo.
