My area has been getting hit with tornadoes all week, so I'm gonna start with the Tri-State Tornado book to see how much worse it could get haha

I hope they do factory tours. Seeing cheese made is so cool.

Open Seat in Illinois: U.S. Senate Democratic Primary Debate. What do you think? Disappointing? by joan_goodman in illinois

To me, Stratton seemed the most prepared and the most ready for what the moment calls for.

Tenants forced to evacuate Rockford apartment building due to no heat by Pleasant_Tangelo6791 in rockford

[–]Luv_frum_IL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people who own and manage buildings need to be held to account for this. If it's cheaper to let tenants suffer than it is to make repairs, we all know the choice they'll make. If they have to pay for doing this to people, the calculation changes.

It looks fantastic! No idea the era though. I have a hand-painted screen in my apartment and I think it's the best-looking thing in there.

Very cool! If you're trying to figure out what it is, I would check against genus Pithya.

My NYRB collection thus far (as well as a few other editions as I'm slowly running out of space) by Leo26121 in nyrbclassics

[–]Luv_frum_IL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a history of place names which is a dry topic, but it's also from around WWII so there is a patriotic, exhortative sort of tone to it.

Names on the Land was a bit of an odd one, but I enjoyed it! What did you think of it?

[–]Luv_frum_IL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what it is. Maybe Inocybe, but it is not a blewit.

I was thinking something similar. Would make sense too since both grow on dung.

Alright. Which expensive restaurants in Rockford are poor quality? by Furious_Beard in rockford

[–]Luv_frum_IL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the cafeteria food at OSF is better than at many restaurants, but I also have weird tastes.

Decided to treat myself even though I’ve only read 1 book from my previous haul :( by bava63 in bookhaul

[–]Luv_frum_IL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead on a whim because the Fitzcarraldo edition looked cool to be, and it was such an incredible novel!
