This is a pretty late blog post, but it’s better than nothing, right? So, my topic for the Chicago History Project was Mario’s Italian Lemonade. Mario’s Italian Lemonade is a family owned stand in Chicago that sells Italian ice. It’s owned by Mario DiPaolo Sr, his wife Dorothy and their children. It’s been around for over 60 years!
I chose this topic because it’s sort of personal. Also, with all those weird murderers being studied, I thought I should lighten the mood a bit. Anyway, the sort of personal part is I used to go there with my family when I was a lot younger. We’ve never really gotten a chance to go since. But, that doesn’t mean anything bad happened to the shop, or something bad happened with my family to stop us from going again.
I think I did pretty well with my project in the end. The class seemed interested enough, and I put a bunch of information. If you have any questions about Mario’s Italian Lemonade, you can ask in the comments. I’ll try to answer. Thanks for reading!
