Mario's Italian Lemonade
1608 W. Taylor

Was riding home on Halsted before midnight the other night and it struck me it's been all summer and I haven't been to Mario's. Plus, it was hotter than Hades and an Italian Ice would taste so delicious. And I did and it did too. Talked to my old friend Skip, who is the Mario in Mario's. Actually, his father Mario is THE Mario, but he's been dead long enough that Skippy is Mario now. Skippy is King of the neighborhood. and it's right and just what he did to that SOB that pointed the gun at him: ask Carol Marin, she'll tell you the whole story, Bill Kurtis says it's all nonsense, he's just waiting for the Peach flavor which always comes out in August. Easy Bill, easy, it's starting to show. Anywho, it's a Chicago treasure not to be missed. Get over there before he closes for the season, which will be around mid September.

squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg, how many know what I'm talking about, mmm so delicious.
