nobody remembers?
ReplyDeleteWell, I remember them....well....I think I remember them. Naaaa, I really, really do remember them. It was a big billboard, outside Elmhurst dairy on Upper Lachine Road. I believe there were 2 cow's heads sticking out (3-D fashion) from the billboard. They really seemed gigantic (of course I was very small). Apparently from what I gather, I wrote to someone (can't remember who....oldtimer's disease) and they said they were taken down during a renovation, and nobody remembers where they were located to. Sometimes I think they were just a figment of my imagination, but others seem to remember them also. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLinda, this is exactly how I remember them also. A family friend used to live right across the street from Elmhurst and I remember being fascinated by these huge cow heads every time we visited her...............this was over forty years ago, so I can not provide any extra details to your descpription....................................m.p.u.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember Elsie the Borden's Cow. Elsie was a brown and white cow (Jersey) Jersey milk was rich and creamy. Most cows today are black and white, (Holstein) because they give more milk. Ed
ReplyDeleteEd, I remember being taken down town to see Elsie The Cow. She was in a building on the corner of University & Dorchester I believe. There was a big long line, finally got to see Elsie. The line moved past Elsie and we were given a bag of goodies from Bordens. I remember being thrilled but I can't remember what they gave us. Target Stores sells Borden's Butter and there is a picture of Elsie on the package. My wife tells me I have to buy cabot's Butter, so I do. Elsie The Cow rested in peace in Plainsboro, New Jersey until 1998 (this is no bull). Then her remains were exhumed to make way for a housing development. Now residents claim to be haunted by mysterious cow bell sounds. Good for Elsie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the ghost of Elsie wants them to moove the building. Ed
ReplyDeleteI remember them, and yes it's true they did seem huge.
