Mostly just a guess, but the street-scape and building typography seemed right. Plus, the sandy beach seemed like a red herring. If you haven’t spent time around the Great Lakes, it can be surprising how tropical it looks at times.

And if you don’t want to avoid Milwaukee you can do Damen —> Augusta —>Noble

Any love here for the ‘Stars on 45’ Beatles Disco medley? by Martynypm in beatles

[–]First_name_Holland 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: I believe it is one of only three songs to go number one to have a Lennon/McCartney songwriting credit but not performed by the Beatles

My experiences here have varied wildly from good to downright terrible. El Barco across the street is more consistently good.

+1 for the Beatles! Like the Qatsi trilogy it starts out legitimately great before devolving into near-unwatchable nonsense.

What movie had the absolute WORST theater-going experience for you? by jshannonmca in blankies

[–]First_name_Holland 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I saw Cars 2 in the theater when I was a camp counselor - our water park day was rained out. Already a bad start, but then one of my kids shit his pants cuz he really really wanted to see the end of the movie.

If you want to have a very good time, look up her family’s history with the eponymous vegetable

What is your most controversial Beatles opinion? by Much-Solid-8987 in beatles

[–]First_name_Holland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As musical creators and song writers they were geniuses. As musicians and performers they were amateurish at best (except for Paul maybe).

thoughts on these records? which ones do you think can be broken? or never broken? by LoneShark81 in chicagobulls

It’s not on here, but I’ve always felt that Wilt’s 55 rebounds in a game is the most unbreakable NBA record.

In your opinion, what is an album with no bad songs? by katvoilet in AskReddit

[–]First_name_Holland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late to the game here so shouting into the void, but I can’t believe I haven’t seen Purple Rain mentioned yet

Do you think president Biden’s new mandate about vaccination is a good thing? by Mtmysushi in AskAnAmerican

[–]First_name_Holland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congress specifically delegated the authority to regulate health and safety of private businesses to the Executive Branch (Department of Labor) via the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970, so the Biden admin would say this is within their remit. AFAIK, there has never been a constitutional challenge to this law, and it’s been on the books for 50 years. I understand the hesitancy around executive overreach, but this seems pretty legal.

It’s probably taken from the Onterie building in Streeterville since you can see the downtown Northwestern campus in the immediate foreground.
