Juni and I were talking, and she vaugely remembers brown bag lunches provided for the DC at the racetrack in Chicago, It was either when she got on the bus or off the bus. Anyone remember that practice in Chicago or elsewhere? She also mentioned the porta potties at the racetrack.......how awfull they were. There has to be some interesting stories about those.

The absolute worst facilities that I remember were as a child at a DC in Lima, Ohio at a fairgrounds. The restrooms were overflowing with sewage, and the entire facility reeked. No food was necessary, I couldn't have gagged it down, with the stench from the restrooms.

flush TWICE! It's a looong way to the platform!
I think half the "food" does come from the sewers. And especially the spiritual "food(??)" that is served. I get better spiritual food from non-religious sources and from this forum.
my little boys thought that was so fun....handing out the bags....we pased out hundreds as a family...there were two or three different types of bags...different sandwiches in each....i'm so sorry kids.........oompa
Actually all of this fun happened at the White Sox Stadium in Chicago, IL. back in the 70's. Sitting on those hard seats, which were meant to be used for a couple of hours, was painful. Actually the Hawthorne Racetrack years were not wonderful either. Dirty and little food... in those days you were not to bring in food or go out to eat.
Thanks Ooompa.. you confirmed this wasn't a false memory. The brown bag lunches were good and usually pretty healthy.
