    Chubby and Tubby is Rainer Ave South

    99 in Green Lake area.
    Aurora North End pours.
    Lotta expensive R.E. within Walking Distance of Aurora north of the ship canal.
    You'd think that would make it nicer. I prefer the Wallingford side, with Murphy's and especially Lenny's - a world class Dive.

    Chubby and Tubby was a great place to buy Chuck Taylors and shrink to fit 501s.
    I equate Chubby and Tubby with Chuck Taylors.
    And Carhart. Got a bunch at substantial discounts when they shuttered the White Center store.
    I wasn’t wearing Carhart to school in the early 80s.
    I'm sure you were wearing LawMan Painters, like the rest of us.
    I went to Catholic school, we wore a fucking uniform. I think the cheap clothes my mom bought were called Tough Skins or something stupid like that. All the poor kids wore them.

    I wore Toughskins jeans as a kid

    I actually never knew you wore a uniform to school.

    Sicks stadium... somehow MLB didn't think that this 25,000 max stadium was up to their rigorous standards ~ go figure... I do fondly remember sitting in the informality to watch Rainier Baseball as a kid.

    In '77 I played warmed up there in the AAA state championship game. Tom Niedenfuer beat us in 11 innings, IIRC. 30 years later, I dumped a chunk of my life savings on a "Remodel of the Century" at the Lowes that stands there now...

    Edit: It says it "closed" in '76, but we were there in '77...along with the pigeon and seagull shit. Skinned infield, they were playing fast-pitch there, I later heard from a friend.

    So they were selling the stadium the rapidly growing locally owned company [CX Corporation] i worked for needed a large manufacturing space so they bought the land and ripped down the stadium and built the new facility... I worded there for a couple of years before the company was sold to a swiss mega corporation the bought the company for the patents and technology which competed with their products and promptly laid off the 400-500 people that worked there.... so no its a lowes and probably some other stores as well?

    To the best of my recollection (limited, because I’m a BOOMER), there was a large facility directly east of the Lowes building (shared porking lot), not sure what it was at that tim, but it was big.

    I went to Catholic school, we wore a fucking uniform. I think the cheap clothes my mom bought were called Tough Skins or something stupid like that. All the poor kids wore them.
    So did I, but our pants were salt & pepper corduroys until about 4th grade, when the SJWs made us switch to green jeans, recommending Toughskins. Fucking SJWs ruin everything.

    Rebel that I was, I refused, and went with JCP Super Denims (who remembers the robot commercials?) instead of Sears Toughskins.

    JCP clothes were always better than Sears shit. So I stayed one step above the pours at my catholic school.
