I grew up in the 'burbs of Chicago in Franklin Park, my aunt lived in Chicago near North Ave. and Polanski. There was a little pizza joint near where she lived so when I would spend a weekend with her we would always walk down to the pizza place and get a thin crust pizza and take it home for dinner on Saturday night Now I'm a deep dish lover but I do remember that thin crust was mighty fine also.
From what I hear from my cousin I wouldn't want to walk down there now.
Agree with Larry back in the 50s times were a lot better.
