Nashville > Chicago. Sometimes I post photos and bad takes.
Pup, or do I need to roll back to Canadian Thanksgiving for that?

"I'll be here a week, a 7 day Muni pass would be useful. Let's add that."
I noticed after buying it that it said it could take up to 5 days to come into effect. Thankfully it worked same day, but gave me a scare.

I'll stick to getting multiples at Beans and Bagels in Lincoln Square. 🙎

Awesome shot! I love that X-pan aspect ratio so much.

Hell yeah, I saw them getting the markings down on Western this morning. Glad to see the end is in sight here.

The Ohioans innate desire to be as far away from Ohio as possible. 😌

Yeah, I feel like CS should abstract it to a greater degree than an Anno, but it can definitely be done a lot better than the black box it was when I last played.

Right, it's just being so willfully blind in such an unhelpful way! I think you can make an argument of writing off south is bad politics, something will need to be done; but just papering over it like this isn't addressing anything.

Right!? I lived in Tennessee and visited in-laws in rural Appalachia numerous times and you would have to actively ignore the confederate and trump flags.

I liked Surviving the Aftermath when I played through a few early access releases years back. Need to give it another run through sometime. Very different sorta builder though. More like an Anno game resource management.

Guess we'll see where it goes. Picking up where someone else left off is tough

That bridge sure is foggy.

That's good at least. I don't know how the rest of it went, but I was glad to see Willow kept a lot of staff from Selmarie after it transitioned.

I do hit up Dimo's quite a bit; the by the slice model seems to serve it a lot better and the pizzas seem better (though I honestly just have bad taste :V)
Jimmy's is my go to for a more traditional pizza, but I do like the mac and cheese one at Dimo's so I hit it up when I want something weird.

Yeah, did seem like the menu changed a lot over time. Might just be trying to cut it down to the essentials and focus on running the bar instead of a whole restaurant. Not sure, but a counter service sort of fish and chips spot might have a target market of me at least. 😅

Are they maybe going to a bar/counter service model instead of a wait staff like Dimo's did a bit back? Seems like that field might be a bit competitive overall; but I don't really know much about how any of these places are run. I was also generally a fan of Green Post too.

You can find them at related markets around town too, definitely not to the same scale but Gangnam Market in river west and Mitsuwa Marketplace out in Arlington Heights have sections of them.

I was sad I missed the tiny Nikon camera one when it was supposedly at Gangnam Market.

I'm supposed to fly back from San Francisco Tuesday afternoon 🫠
