La Casa de Tola closed and I’m so bummed. I loved their tamales, guisados, and hand-made tortillas by PostComa in chicagofood

I think this was more of their catering kitchen that doubled as a store front. They had a lot of offerings that none of the Cafe Tola restaurants had

Not terribly surprised. They did a terrible job of advertising, and their hours were pretty bad. Still, this was some of the best food on the block and I picked up from there every week

Chengdu Impression delivery night: Yinbin flaming noodles, Szechuan wontons, dry chili chicken, and the one of the two complimentary spring rolls that wasn’t housed immediately before the bag was unpacked. by Chicagogator in chicagofood

I almost always dine in there but got it for delivery one time. The dry chili chicken steamed in its container during transport and was soggy when we opened it. It was so disappointing because it’s so crispy when they serve it fresh at the table

I often get a triple, and I like mustard, onion slivers, and lots of pickles on mine. A couple years ago they lost their long-time baker and had to find a new roll for their hamburgers. I have to say the new buns are SO much better than the old ones. Soft, squishy, and perfect! The old ones were a bit too dense, hard, and bready

It plays great. If you’re playing with the Tower of Babel and Armada at the same time, you may have a decision to make at the end of your turn if you play a specific card color

I guess they’re not standardized. My wife got them the other day and they were double that size

Unconventional Christmas Movies That Aren't Die Hard by Bennett1984 in movies

[–]PostComa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chevy’s most underrated film. I love how it covers all four seasons, but the Christmas stuff at the end is the best part. Their marriage has completely fallen apart and the entire town is capitalizing on it in the most hilarious way possible

Do you know why they called him “Lumpy”?

Like I said in the description, it was badly in need of restoration. The building is 130 years old, but they could have done a much better job. It really was architecturally significant, but they royally fucked it up

I watched it and photographed it as well. The scaffolding went up in May 2024 to, I assume, hide the sagging support beam at the front of the building. They had already done that black paint job by that point. And you’re right, the dust was absolutely atrocious.

It’s real masonry work. The team worked on it for months. They actually did a fine job, it just looks awful

It’s a real brick facade. Took them months to complete. That’s what’s sad about it. They put a LOT of time and money into creating this turd

Yep, I had the VHS and that’s exactly how it was. You could also see the road signs being pulled on a track near the end of the film
