ALTON - People come from across the region to have a great time at Fast Eddie’s Bon Air . But during the Alton Halloween Parade , the Fast Eddie’s staff are the ones who are partying. Every year, the bartenders, servers and their families gather outside the bar to tailgate and watch the Halloween Parade. Angie Rook explained that the party, thrown by Fast Eddie’s owner Eddie Sholar, is a chance for the staff to spend time together and enjoy the parade with their kids, a fire and plenty of snacks. “This is more of a family-friendly party that they throw for us,” Rook said. “We’re having hotdogs and chili and snacks and fire to keep us warm. The kids are having fun. It’s something to do away from work, something to get together with our kids and our families outside of work and have fun and watch this great parade and not think about work for the evening.” But Rook is quick to note how much she enjoys working at Fast Eddie’s.

Before the rows of black-and-white portraits held court over Deli Divine (5501 Delmar Boulevard, 314-987-3354) from their framed positions on the walls, they lived in forgotten bankers boxes belonging to a late family friend of Ben Poremba named Joe Zimbrolt. Rescued by Poremba from an estate sale where they were likely bound for someone's basement (or the garbage), the portraits were part of Zimbrolt's life's work — not his professional work but the effort he dedicated to living a well-examined life dedicated to art, literature, science and the humanities.
