This will ,take you back to your childhood.... if you ever visited or lived in Chicago! The highlite of visiting MAXWELL St. and for all bargins! was this open air food stand..on the corner of Halsted & Maxwell St. The Smoked Polish was a must.... a warmd bun, lots of fried onions and mustard, Mmm to die for! Then shop at the open air stands on each side of the street for bargains. During the 40s and W.W.2 years, shoes were rationed. Dad would take us there on the street car for shoes. Cheap price, no ration coupon needed! But be sure you got 2 of the same size & 1 right & 1 left!
