You got it. Wonder Lake is like 5 minutes away! Cary is about 15. What do for work?

I sell plants(trees and shrubs)wholesale to Garden Centers and Landscapers.

I stayed in Lake in the Hills once before, that's a pretty nice area. Went out to some brewpub that had some really good ribs.

Id be willing to chip in to fill some of the holes in the retromag collection for history's sake.
Can I find budget scanners that can fit my mags (one page/one side scan) without actually taking the mags apart to make them fit?

Well i guess you could say since 85' , but the prime time for the bulls was the 90's. I remember losing sleep when they would lose a game, sigh....the good times. They don't make NBA players or games like they did back then.

Yeah, I had the sport of basketball ruined for me by the 90's Bulls. I grew up watching them win 6 championships and then all the names got removed from the team. Basketball's never been the same for me after that.

Yeah, I know the 90's were the prime time for the Bulls, they probably could of won 7 in a row if Jordan didn't get suspended for gambling, umm..I mean try his hand at baseball. One of the greatest teams ever in NBA history for sure. I'm a Pistons fan, so they are one of our main rivals, they had some great matchups in the late 80's/early 90's. What I was getting at was were you only a fan when they were good/cause they were good? Do you still not root for the Bulls? Oh and I agree they don't make NBA players like they did in the 80's/90's now. There are a few of them out there, but I think the game has gotten a lot softer over the years.

The 90's Chicago Bulls and NJ Devil's are the two greatest teams to ever represent their sport. One was the pinnacle of basketball, and the other ruled ice hockey with an iron stick.

The only problem with this is that the 90s Bulls made NBA basketball bigtime. They made it a must watch sport. All of the current TV deals and exposure can be tied to the success of that team. In the NHL however, the Devils completely killed the sport, made the game so boring no one watched anymore, they lost all of their exposure, and almost killed the league.

I'd say the Celtics and Lakers of the 80's(Magic and Bird) made NBA basketball more bigtime than anything. There really wasn't much drama with the Bulls in the 90's, you knew they were gonna win. Besides the Bulls, the basketball of the 90's wasn't that great, while the 80's had some of the best teams/players overall ever.
