Center of the Universe

The intersection of 119th Street and Indianapolis Blvd. Do to its proximity to Chicago, during the 1930s this was one of the busiest intersections in the country. There was once the architectural landmark of the Illiana Hotel but it was demolished during the early 90s. The only remenant of its long vibrant history is one of the orginal White Castles. Even though the term is used sarcastically by young people in their twenties, there are remenents of truth in it.

Hey lets go hang out at the Center of the Universe.

Big One One Nine

A nick name used by most residents of Lake County, Indiana and the East-side of Chicago for 119th street in Whiting, IN. Once a major cruising destination, its now fallen on hard times. No longer do truckloads of teenagers sit in their vechiles all night long.

MVS

An IBM mainframe operating system. Sort of like a dying language, in use but dying a long slow death.

Also means a dinosaur.

Nothing sadder than an old MVS guy still looking for a gig.

That guy working behind the counter at McDonalds is an old MVS guy.

Heaven

A nickname for Whiting, Indiana predominently used by the rest of Lake County and Chicago. The nickname orginated in the 1960s when the counterculture youth of the area were expressing their feelings of displeasure to the amount of religous zealotry in the town. This was evident to the counterculure by the number of churches that dotted the skyline.

Hey, let's go to Heaven and celebrate the 4th of July there.
