Just did a mass mailing of the link to the video to my address book. That is priceless!

"And a ride in his IROC Z..."

IROC = I'm Really Only a Camaro

In the 1970's in Chicago it would have been a Trans-Am...parked diagonally across two spaces at the back of the Dominick's grocery store parking lot...where he bags groceries part-time at night during the school year...except in the summer when he also works days as a flagman on a paving crew for Palumbo Excavating. On weekends, he'd be dancing and drinking at "da Tree." Da Tree...da disco over by Diversey and Central. You know, "da Tree" -- One, Two, Tree...

The sign said "I-II-III" (One-Two-Three) but everyone in the neighborhood called it "da tree."
