Need your guys help - vote for my pop's barbershop
« on: May 28, 2010, 05:30:45 AM »
The Chicago Reader is doing their annual "Best Of Chicago list" once again and I am trying to get my dad's (and soon to be mine) Barbershop to win best shop in the city. 30 years in the same location, wood paneling, fish on the wall, working 8-track player, home made wine, chairs from the 40's and other stuff secure us being as real as a oldschool shop as you can get. Check out the shop's new/fresh/redone website @ http://www.joesbarbershopchicago.com So if you could, click the link below and add "Joe's Barbershop Chicago" to the Best Barbershop section...


http://bestof.chicagoreader.com/list/3

Much appreciated guys !

While I was at it, I voted Buckingham Fountain as "Best place to deliver a baby"   ;)

Good luck to you & your father Joe, interesting history on your website.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Thanks for the kind words on the shop and the new website.
I took a beating trying to get that website up and running, from digging up old pics to nagging my friend Shane to do it  ;D
If any of you guys find yourself in Chicago and want to check out the shop/get a hot lather straight razor shave stop on bye !

Vote cast as well.

I've been going to the same shop for 20 years, Stan's Barbershop in Penn Hills PA. Ralph cuts with him. Love going to the shop. It's the best place to hang out on a Saturday morning. Take my boys with me. Good luck.

I've cast a vote with four email addresses  ::)

Your shop reminds me of the shop I had my first cut in, it was owned/operated by a WW2 Marine and his son, also a Marine who took over the shop from his dad. 

Sadly that shop closed in the 90's and is now a flower shop....  Keep it going PT, America needs this!
