Lang Lee Chop Suey ~ PARK TV
This is the only night shot I ever took (1996) of the buildings. I never got a day shot of the buildings.
Pentax K1000, Kodak $00 Gold Film.
Lang Lee Chop Suey & PARK TV. Also known as Park Magnavox. Both closed roughly around 1998. Both businesses opened in the 50's.
In 1953, Mr Lee was looking to buy the house next to my grandparents house but couldn't due to the clause in the sales contract, "Can't sell to Black or Asian Blood". But the village would sell them business licenses, but they couldn't live here..............My how times have changed.
Lang Lee Chop Suey II in Orland Park has been in danger of closing for the past two years, The Mayor has a deal cooking with a devloper to redevelope the corner of 143rd & LaGrange Road and about 15 or more businesses would be lost. Its a big political mess out there.
Originally in the late 60's early 70s there was a Drug Store on the corner and Magnavox was a much smaller shop in the middle. My mom used to give me a dime and on the way home from school - which is across the street, I would stop off at the Drug Store for one of those Orange Push Up's. (the Ice Cream treat). When the Drug Store closed Magnavox expanded to the corner. I bought my first tabletop stereo at Magnavox in 1980. It had an 8 track & turntable.
