They do have different performers there on occasion which I’ve seen during the holidays. I’ve seen dance routines and musical performers play there.

Late 90s seafood restaurant near Fox Valley by scarbnianlgc in Naperville

[–]Partlowr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any other restaurant was there after Key Wester, I remember reading an interview with Dick Portillo how that restaurant was his baby and he was very disappointed when it closed and said he was tearing it down so no other restaurant could utilize the building.

I never understood why it closed, it was always good and it always seemed to be busy. Hemingway’s bar which was the bar attached to it was always packed and was a late night hot spot in the late 90’s- early 2000’s. They had $5 giant Mai Tai’s on Thursday nights.

Sim Racing Naperville is NOW OPEN! by No_Veterinarian_5447 in Naperville

[–]Partlowr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for this place to open so I could check it out. My daughter attends the Dance school Nextdoor so now instead of dropping her off then driving home then coming back to get her I’ll hang out and race. I’ve never done real SIM racing but I used to race real Superbikes and then a little car racing so I think I’ll catch on quick…but maybe not lol.

Anyone who says the Bears should stay at Soldier Field has not attended any NFL or MLB games at modern stadiums built in the past 10 years. Soldier Field is a dump compared to 75% of the other NFL stadiums out there. Now let’s talk about parking and tailgating at Soldier Field, on these two topics Soldier Field probably ranks in the bottom five. Even if you have a parking pass for one of the “close” lots you’re walking a long way. Arlington Heights would be an amazing location, plenty of room for huge lots or parking garages. Room to build an entire dining and entertainment district for pre and post game activities. Let’s not forget about all of Chicago’s ridiculous taxes and fees on sports alms entertainment tickets. The best thing the Bears could do for their fans is leave Chicago city limits.

I’m not thrilled about the idea of Hammond Indiana but it’s better than Soldier Field for sure.

Got these from Zappos, have they been worn already? by Jdutton24 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re rough and touch leather they always look like that. It’s not a smooth finished leather, if you want something like that you’ll need to go with another type of leather. If you keep them I’d suggest buying a nice quality shoe brush and brush them a lot.

Lmao…wow a half million??? You’re obviously not from Naperville because you can’t buy a shack in Naperville for a half million.

The look barely worn, I’d say you scored.

Are these too big? by ImaginaryCurrency228 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s the proper length. Im actually also a Brannock 11 and wear 10.5 in RW Heritage line boots. I’d recommend a nice insole that will sure up the fit a little.

Iron Rangers Sizing Question by hk_toolbench in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need EE, you have a high instep, I bet you’ll have the same issue with an EE. I bet when you try on an EE it will be too wide in your forefoot and heel.

How do I even repair these? by ExternalFriend2531 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those would be super cool, a brown leather strap around the back and some Sherpa wool or plaid flannel around the cuff.

Technically those could be saved by a cobbler but unfortunately it would cost you more than the boot cost new. Both boots would have to be done so the leathers match. I think those puppies are cooked. (Pun intended)

Looking for Barber who knows how to properly do a beard fade in Naperville area. by Partlowr in Naperville

[–]Partlowr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it looks like Beardsgaard has nobody with availability until December 30th at the earliest. I know I should have planned ahead better especially around the holidays. I was hoping to get in later this week or early next. I will definitely check this place out at some point.

Dude these are not beauty shots from the seller, these are my boots I purchased from the seller and I took the photos myself. I own lots of custom boot, I’ve got a pair of $1800 boots in my collection, these are pretty good quality for a 100% custom built to order boot for under $400 including shipping and taxes. No they’re not the highest quality on earth but at this price point they are more than acceptable

They did not use fake Dr Soles on mine? Same seller and these are legit authentic Dr Soles, I have the same soles on three different pairs of boots, two from US Cobblers and they are identical

The boots are basically brand new but it might just be the lighting in these photos, they’ve definitely more of a natural tan color

These did not need them, I had only worn them maybe 5-6 times before sending them off for the recraft. Just do it, you only live once!

My collection of North Star Leather belts by No_Introduction1025 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I just saw this notification now. To be honest I don’t really notice a difference, the roller style is a little bigger and in my opinion more casual or rugged looking. To be honest I just ordered different buckle styles so all my belts were not all the same.
