My husband goes to an old-time barber shop - Countryside Barber Shop on Brainard and 55th - complete with the striped pole and where he doesn't get his hair washed by a shampoo person. He likes it that way. The other day when he went in for a haircut, the phone rang. His barber answered the phone.
"Barber shop."
"Uh, huh - yup, that's okay if he's old. We take oldsters."
"Uh, huh - yeah, sometimes they're cranky. That's okay too."
"A MUZZLE?!!?? - Here, Joe, take this call."
Joe, another barber, took the call and hung up laughing.
The woman had called 411 and asked for the Barker Shop, a dog grooming shop on 55th in La Grange, close to the Countryside BARBER Shop. She was calling about her elderly, not too friendly dog.

After my column 'Life in La Grange Park' was put on "hiatus", I found I really missed it. La Grange Park LIVE covers the people, happenings and events in La Grange Park....also some of my personal observations and experiences. Please email me at laurie@lagrangeparklive.com for column ideas!
