Hi everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page from the city of Chicago Illinois.
Railfanning outdoors on location with Your camera in the fresh air, can really work up a good appetite.

Seen here is a very tasty reminder of one of Chicago's finer attributes. FOOD!
Last week Tuesday, I got together with My Friends Anthony C, and Bill for dinner at the Home Run Inn Pizzeria Restaurant, located at 6221 South Archer Avenue in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood near Midway Airport. Seen here is our Chicago Style thin crust pizza that We all enjoyed at Chicago's famous Home Run Inn Pizzeria.

Home Run Inn Pizza, had it's beginings on West 31st Street in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood way back in 1945, by the Perino Family. I went to the original Home Run Inn Pizzeria on West 31st Street many times as a kid during the 1960's and early 1970's, when it was just a little neighborhood street corner Tavern that sold homemade pizza's. (They had a constant booming pizza business!)

By the mid 1970's, the old tavern was demolished and replaced by a grand restaurant and banquette hall. ( Still there)
In the years following, they soon were selling frozen Home Run Inn Pizza's in the local Grocery store freezer sections, and eventually franchised the restaurant operation with several locations. It is still the same great tasting pizza I remember growing up with on Chicago's southside many years ago.

What are We waiting for? Come on everyone! Lets Eat! Mangia Mangia!
