Message of the Day – A Curtain

Today you see the old National Tea Store during demolition.

It was located at the Northeast corner of Route 14 and McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake.

After National Tea retreated from the Chicago market, it was an Armanetti’s liquor store with some of the same clerks I bagged groceries for during high school.

In its final use it was a furniture store.

What caught my attention when I took this picture was the ceiling that turned into a curtain during the tear down. Click to enlarge the picture.
