I forget who else posted from Chicago, but for me it was "the Jewel",
even if it was Dominick's or Edmars.

I'm somewhere else now, but "Goin' to Farmer Jack", or ". . . Shoppers'"
just don't roll so well of the tounge. I still think "the Jewel".

A friend moved from a neighborhood in Chicago where we got semi-fluent
in "sign spanish". She moved to one of the the Carolinas where the
local Jewel is called "Ingles". Of course she accented the second
sylable. As in ?habla ingles?

m Turns out it pronounced like the women who wrote The Little House on
the Prarie.
