Cal-Mex (1964); Say it ain't so (1930)

CAL-MEX

I've been looking for "Tex-Mex" and "Cal-Mex" in the digitized Los Angeles
Times, now stuck in the 1960s at 1965. Perhaps this helps for the latter term.

First, I gave the wrong address for that fine Mexican restaurant, the Cal-Mex
Cafe, in the industrial district. It's 3667 E. Olympic Blvd.

"SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE"

Ancestry.com has announced several Chicago newspapers in its new databases
section. I didn't see "sport peppers" anywhere. The papers aren't of the 1910s
"jazz" period. It's just a few scattered years.

"Say it ain't so, Joe" is an alleged Chicago phrase from the "Black Sox"
scandal of 1920. I re-checked it against the Chicago Tribune, Sporting News, and
Newspaperarchive, but didn't find anything near 1920.

It was a small boy who appealed to Joe Jackson with the "Say it ain't so,
Joe," which went round the world when the White Sox star admitted that everything
was not all that it should have been in 1919.

WHERE DID BARRY POPIK GO FOR DINNER?--Ithaka, East 86th Street between First
and Second Avenues. I'm trying some Greek restaurants this month. This meal
"won the gold" from me. Eight dollars for an eggplant appetizer?
