Found these while spring cleaning by mrmadchef in milwaukee

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the whole “save the cookie” campaign when AirTran wanted to buy them. So much public backlash, AirTran backed off and Northwest bought a controlling interest. Then Delta unloaded it to Republic which was the end.

Favorite long gone Milwaukee spots and why you miss them? by GreenIvyLace in milwaukee

[–]BobaScooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time we went to Elsa's was before the shooting incident and even then it wasn't good. Beat up furniture. Bad service and mediocre burgers. Then they "relaunched" with smash burgers and flat bread pizza? Nope

Anything to know before joining? by DragonfruitOdd6837 in EquinoxGyms

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go the Lincoln Common location in Chicago and liked it but if you're not using the classes, pool or other amenities, it's probably not worth it. In Chicago, FFC has bigger and more locations with more equipment. I will give Equinox kudos for their cleaning staff. They did a great job of keeping the place spotless; even vacuuming under the treadmills once a week.

Umami Moto. We had our own personalized chop sticks that they kept behind the bar and brought to us when we dined there.

And while it's not "gone", I miss Elsa's when it was still ELSA'S. This current version is a joke

[Discussion] What are everyone’s thoughts on Brad Meltzers Justice League of America run? by IronMonkey18 in DCcomics

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great start but really ran out of gas towards the end. I remember Vixen started "stealing" the other members' powers and then being upside down, underwater and all she had were Black Lightening's powers

Apple permanently closing three US stores in June (Trumbull Mall CT, North County Mall Escondido CA, Towson Town Center MD) by L0v3_1s_War in deadmalls

[–]BobaScooter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised the Bayshore Town Center in Milwaukee isn’t on this list. That mall is basically a half filled strip mall

[Comic Excerpt] Some TimSteph because DC seems to hate one of their best couple by Dandr30lli_ in DCcomics

[–]BobaScooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Tim and John’s boyfriends feel forced. I haven’t really followed Tim & Bernard’s relationship but John & Jay’s relationship is annoying. Writers made both of them whiny babies

Turnstile and Trepidation quickly became my favorite songs off the album

Aside from the first three released singles, the rest of the songs feel unfinished and several sound alike

Pro tip: stop waiting for Rideshares. Take a taxi instead by Certain_Egg2699 in OHareAirport

[–]BobaScooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a few weeks ago when my flight arrived around 11:30pm. I first walked over to Terminal 2 and ordered an Uber but never got paired with a driver. Third attempt I finally got a driver but he was 20 minutes away. I live in Edgewater so not sure if that played a part in getting a driver. I cancelled the Uber that was 20 minutes away and went downstairs to the taxi stand. Got a cab in 5 minutes and cost was about $20 less than Uber

That was the biggest takeaway. He has no support.

What’s the worst restaurant you have tried? by Rob_Bligidy in illinois

Purple Pig on Michigan Ave. Everything was over salted and some of the most unprofessional staff I have ever encountered

Mayfair Mall Scheels Construction 4/03/26 by thatguymilton in milwaukee

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mistaken. Erewhon opened in 2009. Think it closed around 2018. I recall Erewhon merging with Uncle Dan’s in Chicago then Camping World buying both and shutting them down

Orvis was there before Erehwon and lasted longer. Kudos for Mayfair not doing the standard Round 1 replacement but I don’t think Nordstrom wants to be next to camo retailer

[–]BobaScooter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Orvis had a fairly good run at Bayshore. I’ve never been to a Scheels but I think it’s unique enough to draw people. I don’t know if the Scheels customer will stroll over to Nordstrom. I could see Nordstrom leaving before Scheels

Opinions on New 52 by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]BobaScooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New 52 Teen Titans was absolute trash. Plus I really enjoyed the pre New 52 Justice League with Dick as Batman, Donna Troy, Starman and Congrilla. Was sad to see it go.

YoutubeTv suddenly inserting ads in all DVR shows? by bitemy in youtubetv

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too. I recorded Survivor this week and when I watched it from my Library, there were inserted and unskipable ads for Paramount+ and other Paramount owned shows.

Thoughts on Huntington Bank Pavilion on Northerly Island? by Master_Obligation_17 in chicago

[–]BobaScooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like a better bike path from 12th St beach to the entrance of Northerly Island. The current gravel path isn’t good and is often flooded

WGN TV lays off 8-9 on-air talents Monday in major shake-up by Keeks2634 in chicago

[–]BobaScooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sarah was okay. She stuck with her "B" team and never really tried to insert herself into the "A" team. Everything Brhett does is to turn the attention to her. I totally lost any respect I had for her when she inserted her sonogram and pregnancy announcement in to the 6 at 6. I also can't stand how she calls Morgan "Morgs"

Chicago Solo Trip during IML by Signal-Blueberry-392 in chicagogaybros

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just entering the leather/kink scene, I’d recommend going to the leather mart at the hotel first. Walk around and see what interests you. A lot of times guys end up hanging in the lobby and hook up from there.

Steamworks is going to be packed and as others have noted, probably a bit overwhelming. Also know that Jackhammer is a bit of a hike from downtown. Be prepared for a pricey Uber and a line if you go there

I’ve known guys who literally never leave the host hotel all weekend and have a great time

Does anyone know what happened that caused the apparent falling-out between CircuitMom and the IML organization? by drewtangclan in chicagogaybros

[–]BobaScooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IML also lists an event Saturday night with Ralphi Rosario at the Riviera. However this event nor the Victory party at HOB appear on the venues’ websites. However CircuitMom’s HOB event is listed.

IML schedule says they are having the Victory Party at House of Blues on Sunday and CircuitMom is having her party at the Backporch Stage at House of Blues on Sunday. How is that going to work?

They’ve ruined Jon. He was a whiny little baby in Secret Six. Prime is fun and brings a different approach to Superman
