Women-friendly stuff – and a Chicago car mechanic

Share

Love this–AskPatty.com features your direct connection to female-friendly car dealers! And here’s a great article on the buying power of women(you need to do a free signup).

The feminist revolution broke a lot of barriers down. But the Internet has truly freed women from their somewhat cloistered existences of the past. We have found each other at last!

One of our big targets for SWWAN is getting approved vendors in all aspects of the automotive area–in fact, just talked to one in Chicago last night. Andre’s Automotive Service on N. Pulaski Avenue. Call ’em at 773.772.0648. Even got cars you can drive when you have to leave yours and get on with your life!

Talk to Luis Avila and tell ’em SWWAN sent you!

Rescue Halloween?

Share

I live in a densely populated area of Chicago and didn’t get one trick-or-treater yesterday. Do you suppose this cartoon says anything about why Halloween seems to be deteriorating as a holiday? Worse yet, look what happened to a friend here. It used to be that if you lived–like the ones close to where I lived for 18 years–in a neighborhood like Shaker Heights (meaning money), with lots of single-family homes (meaning kids) close together (meaning not too far to walk), you were gold for candy. But it doesn’t seem to reliably happen that way these days.

I wonder if the Jeff Park neighborhood where I grew up in Chicago got any? My sister and 7 brothers and I used to love to run from house to house after school. Of course, that was a long time ago

I bet we could save this holiday if we tried. But maybe we’re all just too busy with other pursuits. Ah, well.
