    Big Star for tacos (although you would have a lot more fun going to the original location in Bucktown)

    Southport corridor has lots of good restaurants

    Crosby's Kitchen, Dagostinos for good tavern thin crust pizza, Tuco and Blondie, Corridor Brewery and Provisions

    All of the sports bars around the stadium have good bar food

    My god this is the most absurd thing I've read in a long time




    "Copi is the new name for the fish formerly known as Asian carp; the new name was part of $600,000 rebranding effort by IDNR to reduce negative connotations of the species and to encourage consumption."


    “Copi is a great name: Short, crisp and easy to say. What diner won’t be intrigued when they read copi tacos or copi burgers on a menu?” Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Colleen Callahan said in a statement.

    Couldn't they have a focus group of 3rd graders done this and saved $599,900?

    Some bummer primary results. Marie Newman is going to lose. She got fucked w redistricting. Will be forever grateful for her taking out Lipinski tho.

    Danny Davis is going to be Kina Collins. Davis is a legend, nothing bad to say about him, but his old ass needs to go enjoy retirement imo. Need new energy. Collins is awesome. Hope she runs again.

    Voted, donated and volunteered for Kina. She is far and away a better candidate than the dinosaur Danny Davis. She just couldn’t overcome his name ID.

    I'm coming to town on a bachelor party in a few weeks, and had an interesting turn of events...the guy whose supposedly has been planning it just confessed to having done essentially nothing. The weekend was planned around renting a boat and spending several hours on Saturday on the water. I'm guessing it's too late for that now. I'm going to peruse this thread, but any recommendations for bars/clubs/restaurants for a groups of 12-15 guys would be very appreciated!

    It looks like Shore Club could be a water adjacent thing to do for some day drinking on Saturday?

    Do the Friday night Sox game, take the bachelor down to the bullpen bar in the 3rd inning to do shots, leave when they cut off the booze and go out to bars

    get seats in the outfield

    I'm at the new concert venue at the old Morton Salt Shed. It's a pretty cool venue despite being outside only right now.

    Hopefully the rain holds off.

    Tavern on Rush closing. While not anything special, I feel like it's a place that will be missed.
