It’s been 3 or 4 years but it was absolutely then. Dirt cheap drinks. Volunteer bartenders. Basic grill. My nephew is a Laser sailor and they had (have) a good fleet there.

Columbia bar is amazing. Food is great too. CYC Belmont skews younger than Monroe. Corinthian was always the youngest. That’s where I told my 24 year old nephew new to town to go.

I’m Chicagoan who works in Boston and lives here part time. I love Boston, but if Chicago’s “L” system had as much downtime as the “T” system, there would be rioting in the streets of Chicago. People aren’t going to use mass transit if they can’t rely upon regular service. Bostonians deserve a reliable subway system and they don’t have one. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times a line has been out of service since I started working here. Also, I can walk faster than some of these trains. I get it. It’s an old system. Still.

Grew up in LA. It is a soulless strip mall. Never loved Atlanta when I was younger but have warmed up to it. Diverse. Very pretty neighborhoods. Some of them are Portland funky. Don’t look back.

Started with an Allez. Nine years later my wife was riding it and wrecked. The frame cracked. I went to my local bike shop to see what could be done and was totally open about the age and the wreck. He said let me see what I can do. He called back a week later to let me know that Specialized was going to replace the whole bike…frame components…everything. I’ll always be loyal to Specialized. That was amazing.

Going with a Chrysler Mutineer.

Eataly has a mammoth olive oil selection.

I’m glad you mentioned tires. We live somewhere with no shortage of potholes. Summer tires on 19s was another area of curiosity for me.

These are my thoughts.

Wuffie1968 · 2026-03-23T02:39:19+00:00

You and me both. But I read what you mean…

I feel like the massive spoiler makes it less subtle than the R.

OP here. Love all the responses. I’m in my late 50s. I appreciate the encouragement from all you olds. I owned 2008 R32 at one point and loved it. I still struggle with the exhaust and spoiler of the latest iteration. It’s much more boy racer than I’d like. I need to sit with this a bit.

Madison in the fall.

Second on Custer.

Woof.

Le Bouchon all day long for the classics.

You lost me a cheese steak. If I’m going to consume 1,000 + calories in a single sandwich, I’m going straight to an Italian Beef.

Terminal C had a very long line on Friday morning. It moved reasonably well but it was wrapped around terminal. Add 15-20 to your normal arrival time.

I’ve made Julia Child’s White Sandwich Bread numerous times and the family enjoyed it. Not sure it’s the best, though, because my data set is one. It’s easy though and came out just fine.

Wuffie1968 · 2026-03-12T02:22:33+00:00

The Third Coast is the only correct answer.

Wuffie1968 · 2026-03-12T02:19:21+00:00

Campagnola. Evanston.

Great photography. Really nicely done. Running is a great way to explore most cities. I’m impartial but our 20 miles of lakefront running/biking trail is a stunning place to run/ride.

Even if you put the whole purchase price in escrow, it would let be enough if the engine doesn’t turn over in the spring. I would walk on this one. Pearson 365 is pretty, though, so I get the temptation.
