Thank you for reminding me of why we were so into the idea of Oak Park in the first place. There are SO MANY neighborhoods/towns that it's easy to get overwhelmed by everything. Good to know about Forest Park - I'll definitely look into that as well.
Someone recommended Skokie to my wife. Any knowledge of that realm?

bumping this in absence of a rolling 2017 thread
my friend is unable to make it, so: is anyone interested in a ticket to see Depeche Mode on Wednesday? it’s unfortunately way out in Tinley Park, but them’s the breaks
barring that, I am planning on tentatively sticking around town until saturday if anyone wants to hang

So Rauner's recent losses and compromises ... is this because he knows no one likes him and he's seriously vulnerable at the polls?

okey dokey, Jeff, if I hear no different I will make my way to your neighborhood sometime after working hours tomorrow?
btw this tinley park amphitheater thing is pretty damn big. I'm right behind the sound booth getting eaten by mosquitos (pond nearby!?!)
they should really find a way to limit mosquitos to the lawn area

I should be able to make it out after 7 or 8 ish? Jenny is going out after work so I have to wait for her to come home. Come to Beermiscuous. That's where I drink.

Potential venue change, Corridor tapped their new hazy IPA yesterday, so maybe we could head up there. I'll let you know what time I'll be there once Jenny let's me know what time she'll be home. Still trying to get some other people to come out too. ALL ARE WELCOME.
UPDATE: 5pm tapping of new DDH IPA - Bendy Straw w/Vanilla & Lactose Sugar! Intensely dry hopped w/ #mosaichops#hazyipa #craftbeerchicago pic.twitter.com/OI0uNYGace— Corridor Brewery (@CorridorChicago) August 30, 2017

I'm staying in Lakeview, btw, so I'm flexible!
My coworker who lived in england for a while loves to sing the joys of Nando's so I am checking that out
― mh, Thursday, 31 August 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link
I don't quite get the passion for Nando's. It's good, but it's just good chicken.
― Je55e, Thursday, 31 August 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
Nandos is more like nah.

Where are you staying in Lakeview?
― Jeff, Thursday, 31 August 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
it was good but very much a chain
I am near clark/diversey

hey Jeff, sent you my phone # via twitter dm if you want to give me a heads-up. I am guessing I’ll be out wandering around after pretending to attempt a nap but actually chugging some coffee
― mh, Thursday, 31 August 2017 21:51 (six years ago) link
There's a new Collectivo Coffee (Milwaukee chain) at Clark and Wrightwood that is pretty great. All-day breakfast wraps, good coffee, lots of outdoor seats.
― Eazy, Thursday, 31 August 2017 22:09 (six years ago) link
I'm trying to remember what the place I went to for breakfast in these parts yeeears ago was. Maybe some cajun-style stuff with red beans? probably not a place anymore. I may check out that coffee place, thanks for the recommendation!

Maybe thinking of Wishbone?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 August 2017 22:44 (six years ago) link
Heaven on Seven?
― Jeff, Thursday, 31 August 2017 22:56 (six years ago) link
it may have been wishbone? sounds familiar, although I may be remembering the PBS show with the detective dog
