Setting my watch to “party”

Me being the one described as the one with the subtle sense of humor says a lot about how bonkers we were.

A naked gambit to goose soft serve sales

He got stomped in Florida primary election last month

I have always believed that a big part of ECW’s early appeal was its weird broadcast times and affiliates. Having to look for it between 3 different channels in the dead of night made it seem more transgressive and underground.

God bless Northerm Illinois University for building the dumbest fucking football stadium earth

No, these boxes will all hold nails.

Also my old building was east of Michigan Ave. on Randolph and the Marianos over there was a fantastic lunch spot until those bastards at Kroger got their mitts on it

Honestly while it sucks that some good places closed, the downhill slide of some that are still around might be worse *cough*Potbellys*cough*

I loved their breakfasts too! And the coffee was good as well - you could fill up your own container for a buck (or maybe $1.50)

Depends what you wanted. Ronny’s 9.99 steak lunch was a good deal. Ricobenes breaded Italian steak sandwich is elite (the main location is still open but the Loop satellites all closed) Jaffa Bagels would cook a whole turkey every day and serve turkey sandwiches off it.

Getting wistful remembering places in downtown Chicago that I used to eat lunch at.

And while it’s probably best for my heart, it sucks that all the downtown Ricobene’s locations are gone.

YES! There used to be one in the Illinois Center as well. Loved that place.

Also while it wasn’t in the food court proper and was more of a pandemic casualty Ronny’s $9.99 lunch special was a fucking steal

Honestly I was much more wowed by the three consecutive roundabouts I had to navigate to reach it
