There was a Burger King on 127th st near Eisenhower high school now there is a sign in the window saying for lease maybe they got their own store they were sick of being attached to the gas station
There's 37 kids per class in Eisenhower High School? That's way too many students-there were fewer students in the average New York City classroom in the 1960s.
@Blickers,
Was a post deleted or edited? I didn't see anything about kids per class.
If these are the worries and the highest priority of a kid at this school, perhaps this is worthy of a discussion on class sizes. Since this question seems to be completely out of the scope of most of our jurisdictions, Geographically, as it were. The vast majority of us cannot answer this question, but we can comment on the quality of such a question, which is no doubt, dumb. So maybe, the veracity of such a question should be considered on varying levels. One being, why? Why a kid at a highschool would give a ****, the other being why would anybody feed their kid this **** that they would wonder about the people serving said ****. Regardless, I hope these people are still gainfully employed somewhere. Ya know, seeing as their previous place of work has shut down, that is unless they've moved onto their own property, preferably in the vicinity, so that our friend can still enjoy this crap.
I dunno, now I feel heavily invested in this place and their previous (possibly current) employee's well being that I'm hoping a local denizen can enlighten us. Was the gas station so bad???? And if so, where is everybody??? And why didn't they leave a forwarding address?
@Ceili,
So far as I can tell, the gas station is still there. Unless there are even more missing posts. You suppose the OP was spamming for burger king and had his pitch pulled?
and where is blue island?

Code:
We’re a team called Eisenhower
Colors Red and White
We will shout with all our power
Go team show your might!
Ever onward fight Dwight D.
We’re glad to say that we are hoping
Ever winners we will be
We are Dwight D. Eisenhower High!
@Kellykelleck230,
It's not the end of f the world, there are other BKs near Blue Island, Illinois. So the Burr Oak/127th is closed. Maybe it's time to switch to Wendy's or Burger Chief.
Or even try the vegetarian route...

It is the end of the world. There is nothing to live for when you reside in Blue Island, Illinois.
One of the lowly highlights of their

Quote:The Blue Island Market[edit]
The Blue Island Market, circa 1915, looking west on Broadway from Western Avenue.
For many years on the first Thursday of every month, Western Avenue south of the canal and to the city limits on 139th Street was host to an open-air market, the Blue Island Market, more commonly known as Market Day. The market was a place where farmers from a wide area surrounding Blue Island came to town to sell their wares to each other and to the public at large.[20] As the postcard image to the left shows, items offered included produce, farm equipment, and livestock, with a local band thrown in to provide entertainment. Market Day began sometime in the last quarter of the 19th century and lasted until May 1924, when it was closed by the city council after a gradual influx of peddlers offering shoddy merchandise discouraged farmer participation and the market was deemed a public nuisance.[21]:148
A farmers market that literally closed shop permanently over 90 years ago.
The only valid tourist attraction? Blue Island Area Sports Hall of Fame? Copious fun for families to make the trip from the farthest northern parts of Alaska to the southern tip of Florida.
