Any chance you remember Harvey's clothing store on Milwaukee Avenue? I remember a Jack in a Box burger joint right across the street. They sold Khaki pants and Haines Vneck t-shirts Dago t-shirts..bandanas of all nations and Converse and different colors of thick gym shoes shoelaces. The fitting room had Graffiti from pretty much every gang in the city. We used to shop for clothes there and Maxwell street Black leather jackets,baggy dress pants, Stacy Adams shoes, mitty coatsdress shirts. canvas Converse at Kelly's sports store on Maxwell street. Good o'l days. 70's and 80's .

I have to watch how I phrase this... A piece about Harvey's and Maxwell street (JT) shops. The clothes..the shop owners (who were WW2 survivors)tailors. Stacey Adam's shoes, baggy pleated pants, dress shirts..black gangster leather jackets and Brims from Mad Hatters on Halsted..and the head shops. This my playground from Roosevelt to Cermak on Halsted.

[@ERen-tj6jg]

I have somewhere a business card from Kelly's sports store..it was on Maxwell between Halsted and Union Street.
