My Town: Clint Walker’s Memories of Coles County Pulled from the Archives
cosmic blue comics
Mattoon’s Cosmic Blue Comics photo from Journal Gazette, Nov. 22, 1992. I spent almost every Saturday afternoon there for about two years. In a small back room just to the right of the Coca-Cola sign were many boxes with long back numbers. I still have a bagged copy of the first Tales of the Beanworld I found there. Sadly this place is now just a ‘green space’.
matoon arcade
A photo of Bob Murray in Shelbyville, published in the Journal Gazette on June 2, 1982, at the Cross County Mall’s “Carousel Time” arcade, later to become Aladdin’s Castle, demonstrating its dominance over TRON arcade games . Already. I spent almost every Saturday in that arcade, probably with the exact same hairstyle. But no overalls. I was more of an “Ocean Pacific” kid.
ice noggle
Photo from Journal Gazette, Icenogle grocery store, Nov. 28, 1988. Being from Cooksmills, we haven’t shopped at Ice Noggles much…but when we shopped since we were kids, that’s how a grocery store should be in a perfect world I knew it was There were comic books on the wooden floors, magazine racks, or trading cards in his packs of wax—a lot.
cooks mills
By the time this Showcase entry on Adam’s Groceries appeared in the June 13, 1998 Journal Gazette, I had long since left Cooks Mills. If it was summer, I had a bike, and I lived in Cooks Mills, I would have gotten there. Last report they still had a tab on the Pepsi branded cooler in the back.
Mr. Music
Pictured is this ad for Mister Music, formerly at Cross County Mall, published in the Journal Gazette on July 16, 1987. I didn’t buy records back then, but then I did. If hanging out at the record store with your friends on a Friday night doesn’t sound “cool,” then you’ve got a hot driver’s license in your wallet. But it’s the best a nerd like me can do. Dear Mister Music owners, wherever you are today, know that a Minute Men album found in a cheap box changed my life.
sound source guitar slow
April 18, 1994 Journal Gazette portrait of the author in his youth trying to throw a guitar at a target in that year’s Instrument Music Guitar Throwing Contest. Check out my grunge-era hoodies. Yes… look closely, that’s what I see on my feet Air he’s a Jordan Addendum: Despite what the cutline says, I didn’t win the guitar.
Photo clipped from the JG-TC.com online archive of April 18, 1994 Journal Gazette of Sound Source Music Guitar Throwing Contest winner and current JG-TC staff writer Clint Walker is.
Vets
Vette’s Teen Club from the June 20, 1991 Journal Gazette. I wasn’t “cool” enough to hang out on Vet’s back in my “heyday”. “Cool enough” means “not skilled enough in parking lot battles.” If only I could figure it out now.
FutureGen
FutureGen: December 19, 2007, from JG-TC at the end of the beginning and finally the beginning of the end. I should have been more careful then. I should have probably read the newspaper.
