I don't recall what it was before that, but probably something interesting. When I was young the site Al’s Creamery now sits on was an athlete shoe store.

A welcome refreshment from being obsessed about the latest news in politics. Anyway, welcome back to Elgin! Would you believe I've never been to Al's? Ok, fine, I admit it, I've been searching the memory banks to try to figure out if I've even ever heard of it. But then, I've only lived in these parts 5 years or so--but I believe I'm going to make a point of finding out about Al's, seeing as how it apparently comes highly recommended.

I'll check out the website. Hope things are going well with your dad. Took me a long time to get back here (too.much.work), but thanks for the update on Al’s! I’ll check out the website.

In fact it's had a bit of a makeover - at least the menu did or so I read somewhere. I think it is called <a href="http://www.alscafe.com/" rel="nofollow">Al's Cafe & Creamery</a> now. I went to a birthday party at Burns' Pharmacy when I was very young and tasted a real Burns' Malt (the famous recipe that Al's Creamery uses). You're sweet saying my weblogs had a calming effect. I need to get back to the x365 ones. Yep, I’m in Elgin and Al’s cremery does still exist. In fact it’s had a bit of a makeover - at least the menu did or so I read somewhere.

I am sooo happy when I find a moment to go through your blogs. A couple of weekends ago it saved me—calming effect. AND I want you to know that Tim, Alison, and I finally watched Superstar, which was great fun. As you had said, the quality wasn't great...it seemed that when the Carpenter songs proper came on, there was too much information for the DVD to understand, and things got choppy. But we really enjoyed watching it. Thanks so much. Does Al's Creamery still exist? I think it doesn't. I used to drink a lot of oreo malts there. Wow, you’re in Elgin!
