In a collage of velvine rayon, lurex, angora, leather and stone, it's sensational with this slim black knit skirt. Sweater $427, Skirt $179. Carwash Continued from page 1 car is going to be treated as well as this property." "It looked a lot worse, and now it looks better," said Frank Demonte of Mt.

Prospect, who added nonetheless that his primary reason for bringing his father's car here is that "these guys do a really good job of wiping things off." Indeed, Joan Bednarz of Arlington Heights did not even notice the floral displays and said a carwash's physical beauty would, not induce her to bring her business there. She said she chooses a carwash on the basis of whether it will wash her van. "Very few places oo vans she said. Dolores Haugh, executive director of the Mt. Prospect Chamber tof Commerce, of which Busse is a board member, said the project has drastically improved what used 'to be "kind of a crummy corner." "The landscaping is just beautiful" she said.

"There is a big triangular flower garden in front, with different plantings for different seasons." "A lot of the women like the tulips Busse said. "They're very colorful;" Haugh wishes that another Mt. Prospect automotive business would take a cue from the Busse Car Wash. "If they just had a few flower boxes out in front she said.

The other potential site for a library, is the one originally proposed by Byrne in 1980: a city-owned tract at State Street and Van Buren Avenue, just southwest of the Goldblatt's building. In 1982, at Byrne's urging, the library board and city council turned their backs on that site and agreed to spend $10 million to buy the Goldblatt's building from the bankrupt retailer. Byrne has told associates that she got the idea of buying the building from James Hoge, then publisher of the Sun-Times. At the time it went bankrupt, Goldblatt's reportedly owed the newspaper a substantial amount of money for past advertising.

Hoge, now publisher of the New York Daily News, said Wednesday, "I simply have no recollection of making any such suggestion. It doesn't sound right. I don't recall having any discussions with anyone as to how they might help Goldblatt's." The Sun-Times supported the Goldblatt's conversion in its editorials, calling the building "handsome and dignified" and "the kind of structure that couldn't be duplicated today." The Tribune also supported the project. John Kass and Jerry Crimmins contributed to this report. Mark Busse's landscaped, rebricked, mansard-roofed car wash In Mt.

They say, 'Oh, have you been to the carwash? said Busse, who added that theme carwashes are impractical in the North, where weather dictates concrete carwash tunnels. Lou Kuhn, associate director of the International Carwash Association and a judge for the Car Wash Beautiful contest, said some carwashes are striking. One contest winner, in Ft. Myers, is on a large plot of landscaped land and features an orange and yellow color scheme. "Truly a beautiful carwash," Kuhn said.

A carwash, said Busse, is no longer simply "something a car just goes through and comes out clean." rT0rqdtm DESIGNER FASHIONS IN LARGE SIZES ONLY 535 N. Michigan Avenue (312) 329-0885 NEW YORK L.I. FT. LEE BEVERLY HILLS PALM SPRINGS SAN FRANCISCO CHICAGO WASHINGTON C. NO.
