According to the linked article, Aunt Jemima's opened in 1960. I don't know how long they were around, but I could swear Barnum and Bagel was open in that location by the mid to late 1970s.
In the late 1970s, Mr. Osher sold the Pickle Barrel restaurants. He and his son Michael then opened Barnum & Bagel, which they briefly considered calling "20th Century Lox."

Fine memories on both counts for entirely different reasons of course. (I also am unable to recall either of the names.) Great catch - thanks!

Do you remember a coffee shop on the NW corner of Church and Crawford? I can't remember the name. I went there a lot in the 80s, but it has been gone a long time, I think.

Wow, a 25-30 percent tip at a time when 15 percent was standard - big spender! :lol:

I was discussing old places in Skokie with friends and one was trying to remember the name of a pizza place on Church St by Skokie Blvd. None of us can come up with a name. We were also discussing LaRosa's, another great pizza. Besides their Dempster location they had one on Golf Road. Does anyone recall if they had a LaRosa on Church by Crawford? Thanks
Candlelite Hospitality has announced the acquisition of a local pizzeria, La Rosa, in Skokie, Illinois. Opened in 1957, La Rosa has long been makers of thin-crust pizza.
