Seems like that could easily be turned into an emoticon.
But I don't know how.

OMG LEY is opening an M Burger in the JRTC where the DQ used to be.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:39 (fourteen years ago)
LOL WTF

While they're at it, here's my wish list:
Hannah's Bretzel instead of SubwayFrontera Fresca instead of S'barro'sSomeone who hits you in the head with a pipe instead of the "New Orleans" "Cajun" place because that would be better than eating there.

Keep the Taco Bell but expand it from a TB Express to a full service TB.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:43 (fourteen years ago)
Hahah WOW. Has anyone from LEY ever been to the JRTC??
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:46 (fourteen years ago)
Wait, what???? No more DQ???????
How will I have ice cream dates with you without a DQ?
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:47 (fourteen years ago)
A smoldering hole where the Salad Express used to be because those assholes won't sell salad without the purchase of soup, which fine but don't call yourselves "Salad Express," I mean really.
xp the DQ has been closed for awhile now.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:48 (fourteen years ago)
I want the DQ to come back in place of the BK which, even by fast food standards, serves GARBAGE.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:50 (fourteen years ago)
Any other chain or indie coffee shop besides Jazzman's Cafe because 1) it blows and 2) I get the fucking Simpsons song stuck in my head every time I think about it.
I was going to say how about one of those new fancy yogurt places instead of DQ but come on, you know they'd throw a TCBY down there instead.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:52 (fourteen years ago)
I dunno, that M Burger is a game changer.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:55 (fourteen years ago)
Jenny let's meet at State Farm's Next Door Cafe Saturday morning and work on crafting a joke based on the following: "One in the Pinkberry, one in the Stinkberry."
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:56 (fourteen years ago)
They're a great fit though because, unlike Epic Burger, Xoco, even Chipotle, they're offering something of great quality for $3-$4; perfect for that place.
Hey, I just discovered that this is happening:http://www.chicagoideas.com/
― saint dominic's p4k review (Eazy), Thursday, 4 August 2011 15:59 (fourteen years ago)
I hope the "M" in M Burger stands for "Monsieur"
― corey, Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:00 (fourteen years ago)
In their new context, maybe they should call it Mmmmmm Burger
― saint dominic's p4k review (Eazy), Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:03 (fourteen years ago)
EZ, Ideas Week sounds exactly up your alley. Like, if I randomly heard about it, I'd immediately think to send it to you.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:09 (fourteen years ago)
Okay. Let's get a room with a whiteboard.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:12 (fourteen years ago)
Sounds like it's up Kr's alley, too.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:15 (fourteen years ago)
I'm confused about one of the speakers at this event, though.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:18 (fourteen years ago)
Ha!

Huh, I guess she was a State Dept. envoy for women's health issues and started a cancer foundation and stuff. Who knew.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:47 (fourteen years ago)
I'd love to see her on a panel with Wanda Sykes, who used to work for the NSA or some similar agency.
― saint dominic's p4k review (Eazy), Thursday, 4 August 2011 16:50 (fourteen years ago)
Oh hey, Hannah's Bretzel is opening up a new location a half-block away from my office this fall.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 17:40 (fourteen years ago)
Half a block in which direction?
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 17:54 (fourteen years ago)
North. Corner of Kinzie/La Salle.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 18:10 (fourteen years ago)
Oh, I bet they are replacing Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, which good riddance b/c that place was terrible.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 18:12 (fourteen years ago)
I never go in that direction during lunch. It's like some instinct that keeps me from crossing the river. I should do that more now that it's a human-appropriate temperature outside.
Oh they're giving away free tote bags at the Daley Plaza farmers market today.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 18:31 (fourteen years ago)
There is nothing new nor exciting happening or expected to happen in my work neighborhood.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:03 (fourteen years ago)
Thanks for the update.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:33 (fourteen years ago)
allright, hanging out at my aunt-in-law's place in Western Springs.... I guess I will be seeing underrated aerosmith tomorrow, since I've been roped into Lollapalooza. anything interesting going on in the city tonight?
― Richard Nixon's Field of Warmth (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:39 (fourteen years ago)
Nothing specific I know about. You're just a few miles north of my parents, btw.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:48 (fourteen years ago)
Unhelpful to Shakey but in keeping with precious the conversation - they are putting a Target in the Carson Pirie Scott building. That's pretty sweet.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:01 (fourteen years ago)
There is a free smooth jazz concert in O'Hallaren Park. Or you could just go to a bar.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:03 (fourteen years ago)
Some events for today.
― jaymc, Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)
Sorry, Shakey, I don't know of anything.
Is there going to be a ShakeymoFAP sometime?
Jenny, that is good news. The Loop needs a grocery store.

This is hard to figure out. It's Chicago.

Here it is with the John R. Thumbstump Burger and Dress Barn at the center.

Click this. Do it. Then click "GO" in the upper right. It does kooky stuff!http://rorschmap.com/?lat=41.89002071845417&lng=-87.6522518713623&z=14
The fun stops when the whole world disappears, though.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:35 (fourteen years ago)
But that only happens when I just close my eyes, father of mine.
What should replace the Dress Barn in our fantasy JRTC makeover? Maybe a Pay/Half.
