Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.
