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.

Back in the day, we used to cruise the big one one nine all night in a hemi powered Cobra.

Guardian of the Center of the Universe

A homeless man who sat in the corner booth of the white castles at the intersection of 119th Street and Indianapolis Blvd in Whiting, IN from the 1970s to 1990s. Do to its proximity to Chicago, during the 1930s this intersection 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 aforementioned White Castles

carting

Carting is holding on to a shopping from a moving car and then accelerating. Once an appropriate speed is reached the shopping cart is released and it shoots off like a missile. Carting was invented in Whiting, Indiana in the late 70s.

Hey dude, lets go do some carting.
