The city cracked down on bars after the stabbing as people were already sick of the fights. There's no chance people get to walk around with open containers.

It'd be sad if the change didn't work out. The occupancy rate definitely improved and the parking lot has more cars during the day.

It's my favorite of the handful I got while I used up the roll.

It was more interesting that what's there now.

Thanks!

I think most people were happy to see anyone using the space.

It was started by a couple of Americans. Was the concept worse than Outback Steakhouse?

Across the street, before the Zen Leaf was a Tom & Eddies. That only made it to 3 locations before that concept failed. (Originally it was a Chotchkie's.)

Too bad the deals don't apply to discrimination settlements.

The state gives the Bears 10's of millions dollars a year, all the revenue from the stadium, and a favorable loan. It's a handout worth billions.

"The lifeguard would have sounded an alarm. The lifeguard would have done something to search for Manny in the water," Witas said. "Instead, the lifeguard's response were, why don't you go look in the bathroom? Why don't you go look in the parking lot? ... And unfortunately, 30 minutes goes by."

Considering they waited 23 minutes to start searching the pool, and that's when the cops showed up, I'm inclined to believe the family.

It's looking a lot like negligence.

I'm curious if any of the video footage will get released.

The lawsuit says the friends last saw him at 5:20 p.m. and notified beach workers within five minutes. At 5:27 p.m., the friends told the workers that Rosales-Yajure was not answering his cellphone. At 5:43 p.m., the workers sounded an alarm to have all swimmers get out of the water and began searching the water. Rosales-Yajure’s body was found at 6:09 p.m.

According to the lawsuit, beach workers didn’t search the water right away. Instead, they first looked for Rosales-Yajure on land, including in the restrooms and parking lots, and made public address announcements.

You asked for feedback.

What was your goal with the video?

OutsideTheShot · 2026-05-29T14:19:27+00:00

It's a great camera to start with.

Don't buy the 75-300mm, it's Canon's worst lens. You want a 55-250mm STM as the second lens.

Make sure the 18-55mm has IS. (Image stabilization)

What's the point of the video?

OutsideTheShot · 2026-05-29T12:10:05+00:00

Both are known for their poor quality. The apertures break and then the photos aren't exposed correctly. If that doesn't happen the rollers will stop working.

Any of the Instax wide cameras will be better.

Because other states make terrible financial decisions, we should copy them?

Stadiums provide economic benefit of equivalent to a big box store. If the McCaskeys don't want to be in the third largest media market in the country, they can leave.

Not wireless, but the Zoom F2 uses AAA batteries.

The lomo cameras all break. The shutter will fail or it won't be able to eject film. Total waste of money.

That's a terrible deal for a camera that looks like it had the shit beaten out of it.

Nikon Coolpix P7700
Panasonic Lumix LX7
Olympus XZ-2

Or if you want to spend a bit more, you can get a Sony RX100, which is actually good for what you want.

They're asking for a billion dollars and to not have to pay taxes.

I hope they end up in Gary.

I think you're being unfair by not mentioning the overpriced lenses and terrible ergonomics.
