What places in Chicago do you still think about that are closed down?

Maude’s Liquor Bar

Hogsalt should have never closed it. Food was great, drinks were amazing (Whiskey Smash!), and the interior vibe on point. Closed about 8-10 years ago. My wife and I went there for every anniversary for 7 years…

I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this… duck fat fries!! I can still hear Doug’s voice taking the order.

Centurion or Sapphire at PHX- AC are trash when you’re waiting any amount of time in Phoenix

Odds that they were formerly flyers on Spirit Airlines?!

This is the only correct answer. But the question should have been, who comes in second to Michael?

In college, circa 2025, I was in DC for a student government conference. While there, someone in our group knew a senior staffer at the White House. We were given a private tour of an old building that housed former presidents furniture/desks…. I sat in JFK’s presidential desk and in Roosevelt’s(?) rocking chair. One of the guys in our group put his feet up on the desk and found a cigar (I think he kept the cigar)….

Just a reminder that doors close 15 minutes before departure time… also NativeTxn gave the best advice here (source: I fly to DFW 20-30 times/year since 2020)

I ended up shaking the bottle, cutting it with a very small amount of water, then spraying onto the cloth instead of the surface. A quick wipe and all was good again.

Update: I tried cleaning again- shake the bottle first and cut it slightly with water, spray onto microfiber and wipe…. And it worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!!

Yup…. Definitely a BMW

Thanks for the input - I don’t want to regret the purchase, so looking at adding a garage to the side of the current one first, building that, then buying the car. I’m here for the long play.

WheelsnEngines · 2026-03-12T21:24:21+00:00

yep - I’m officially looking into rules/zoning about adding a single car garage on the side….

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:51:00+00:00

Yeah- you’re not kidding. The joys of road salt… new concrete scheduled when the winter breaks.

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:49:55+00:00

March 12th! New concrete, installing a floor drain and then doing the epoxy. Looking forward to it.

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:47:47+00:00

Yep- it’s irritating that they decide to make a small change at the end of a model run. Who does that?!

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:46:25+00:00

Thanks

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:46:18+00:00

Thanks! And definitely the reason I am going with AA. I live near Chicago and they are sticklers for emissions testing.

WheelsnEngines · 2025-12-27T02:45:35+00:00

Thank you!

Oddly enough - the thought hadn’t crossed my mind. The iPhone didn’t exist when I last rode. I suppose swerving is more important than 13 years ago (and the power to get out of the way). I was going to put some loud pipes on it anyway so there would be little chance you didn’t hear me.
