Views: 2726

Here's an incomplete commercial (missing first 10 seconds I believe) for Aldi Foods (we also called it Aldi's) but I include it here because it has some neat shots of Chicago-suburbs bungelow-style houses. Parts of it almost look like it could have been on my block back about 30 years ago.
