James Lelicks was once on the staff of the local Minneapolis newspaper. Traveling across the country, writing when journalism was at its PEAK of integrity and articles might be understood. Not, alas, what we see in today's world.

His site is filled with visuals of all types, from matchbook covers (remember those, to hotels, motels postcards and many other collections. This site is but yet another for browsing on a rainy afternoon.

A walk down memory lane.

He owned a Texaco Station in my old neighborhood. Well, at least somebody with the same last name did.

Thanks for the post. Was wondering what Mr. Lileks was up to ever since his tune “Bleatophany” popped up on my iTunes play rotation just the other day. Funniest thing I ever heard and was such a pleasant recalled memory.

I love his Gallery of Regrettable Food. Remember, the vegetables are for decoration only. Do not eat the vegetables.

I've even bought a couple of the paper versions of his web site. What ate those things called? Oh, right, they're books.

James Lileks writes and writes and writes. He writes about everything while also guesting on radio shows. The guys output must be enormous judging from his website.
He must have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Freepers, you’ve got to check this thing out. Tears of laughter are rolling down my cheeks as I’m typing this. I don’t know if Steyn could do as well.
