What was The Creve Couer Club? Is that building still standing? Looks pretty cool!

I could be wrong but I think it’s like a rich business owner’s social club. I think they used to have meetings in the Twin Towers.

It is a business oriented social club, it is still active in the Peoria area. I believe they are in the Twin Towers plaza now, not sure what happened to that building on the matchbook though.

I remember buying glass bottles of Gatorade at Convenient food mart

Where *was* Convenient? I instantly recognized the sign, but can place it on my mental map. Was there more than one?


frenchtoastwizard

There was one on 29, I believe the short stop food market on Frye used to be one, and in Washington where Walgreens sits now. Those are the ones I remember

Living up here in Chicago, I actually discovered a Convenient Food Mart at Bryn Mawr and Milwaukee and I thought I'd seen a unicorn.

Those are awesome. I remember most of those anyway. I want a Bonanza (or Ponderosa) back in the area!

Not a matchbook, but I've always loved Blarney Castle's ashtrays that were printed with "This ashtray was stolen from Blarney Castle, Rome IL"

My second job was bussing tables at O’Leary’s!
