Wrigly Field in Chicago

This is the first time I ever saw old photos of the baseball park. I also have been told, the name " Wrigly" is the family name of the chewing gum family.

The used car lot sells vintage cars circa 1972, judging by the kid's hair, the prices and the early 70s Cuda in the background.

I was impressed how simple and painless the procedure was. Amazing really!

I've had two, and neither involved any pain or discomfort. Great results, too!

The first picture is dominated IMO by the large Packard (pic) on the left. This was

Packard's distinguishing style for many years.

Actually, Rand, it's "Wrigley" with an "e." Being from Chicago, I thought you'd know that. The family made billions when they sold gum for a nickel a pack. Now it's twenty times that.
