Harvey, a few towns away from me is mostly known for it's movie exposure: The Blues Brothers, where parts of it were filmed in the condemned shopping mall. Dreeson doesn't figure into any of that.

Ladies and Germs, Harvey Illinois' very own Tom Dreeson

Now, I don't know where to start with this gentleman. Luckily, we don't get to see the man too often however, this weekend is a different story.
