When you're right, you're right. Long way from the Windy City isn't
it?

Looks like the last one opened by Harris Weil in 1966 before his

"...In 1966, the chain opened its first suburban store, in Metairie's
Airline Park Shopping Center on Airline Highway. That same year, Weil
cut the ribbon on renovations to the Freret store. He died six months
later in August 1966..."
