there was one on 34th St east of Oak Forest Drive, and another one on Longpoint Rd.

Eden's Amusement Park was on Harrisburg and Baker Street. Here is the Sanborn 1917 map for it.

Quite often when I click on a google link to HAIF, I get a redirect that takes me to http://url123.info/bba08eae I usually have to go back to google and try it three times before I get to the correct page. I'm using IE8 on a PC. It seems like it may be tied to my popup blocker.

I am also interested in the space clearances you needed to install that Thermador downdraft. I currently have a Jenn-Air downdraft (built into the cooktop), that I think is a peice of junk.

I like the quality of Thermador products and they seem to help resale value a lot.

We replaced the Jennair which had a center grill downdraft with the thermador vent and Caldera cooktop. All they had to do to retrofit was cut about 2"X38" of countertop out.

The cooktop we used is made by Caldera. Although an unknown name, they have quite a following for lots of value for the money.

Well, maybe we don't notice since we usually don't do anything either than boil water or cook ground beef on our range. Ventilation from above isn't feasible since it's on an island and the kitchen ceiling is very high and not setup for it at all. Guess I will look for a cooktop with a downflow vent on it.

although somewhat expensive, we went with a telescoping vent from thermador. The unit raises up with the push of a button, then drops down flush with the cooktop after use. Works significantly better than the downdraft vents built into the cooktops. search for thermador on youtube to see one in action.

I worked at Memorial City Sears from 72-76, and worked weekends at the gameroom between Arbys and the recruiting office. It was called Let's Play Games. The gameroom had several pinball machines, pong, foosball, a juke box, etc. Kids were always breaking into the machines to steal quarters. We hooked an alarm up to one machine and caught our thief! Once the new food court was built, the gameroom moved there and added a brunswick pool table dealership.
