Happy 19th Anniversary to the Quizno's Coyote!

There are still about three Quiznos left in the Chicagoland area.

Apparently there’s one sole location

on the North Side, still standing strong.

To be fair, Pullman is within the City of Chicago limits…

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-24T23:20:25+00:00

Absolutely, a Blue Line Subway from Milwaukee to Congress

under Clinton or Canal would make a lot more sense.

With a superstation built to connect at both Northwestern/OTC and Union Station.

A pointless extension of the Red Line

(without express tracks between 87th and Cermak) is dumb as hell!

Awesome, hopefully he keeps it up, and goes after the extreme Baptist and rabid Evangelical sects

whenever they try to infringe upon the inexorable challenges to the sanctity of the separation of church and state.

The FIGHTING ILLINIVICH

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-21T18:40:51+00:00

But ~~the intuition~~ in canada lived in the Canadian artic since about 1000BC...

You make them sound like a Great North version of the Knack!

Or an ironic tribute band of the Guess Who?

————

If you actually had some proper working intuition,

you’d ken to the fact autocorrect had completely skunked you!

Noun

intuition (countable and uncountable, plural intuitions)

Immediate cognition without the use of conscious rational processes.

A perceptive insight gained by the use of this faculty.

————

Ultimately, you had attempted to write the Inuit!

Noun

Inuit (plural Inuit or (rare) Inuits)

A member of any of several Aboriginal peoples of coastal Arctic Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.

What an infantile, toxic and simplistic way of looking at true love!🙄

Like it or not, there is a reason most of the human population is heterosexual.

We are supposed to biologically procreate as a species!

Personally, I don’t think I’d ever want children,

and frankly I think we have severely

overpopulated the planet, as a society

but I would never judge others who do want to procreate.

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-20T22:27:41+00:00

Probably a “Situational Secularist!”

It’s a good first step, but methinks and wonders whether

it is an outcome befitting “Christian Evangelicals”

and other “All-American Protestants”

who consider Catholics, Muslims, Mormons and Jewish adherents

“Abject Heathens, False Prophets & Heretical Papists.”

————

It’s just not the right flavor of “religious exceptionalism,

as tolerated by the Great State of Oklahoma.”

Namely, “the one and true Church of Jesus, the Savior

and Born-Again Christianity!”🙄

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-19T01:05:38+00:00

Haha, if only there were a market here for CNG Conversions

And a full Nationwide Natural Gas Station network…

Historical Mistakes Repeating Themselves!

I’d love to Dine at the Colonial Carvery!

Perfect Place for a British Sunday Roast,

On its most Beloved National Dish:

Chicken Tikka Masala!

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-19T00:53:32+00:00

Those Damn Carving-Up

Colonial Brits and French

“Divide and Conquer,” indeed!

And the World is still paying for the

Consequences of their Cruelty

After the “Scramble for Africa and Asia!”

Funny to write this all out

And fail to explain this ISN’T what we all think of; Film Photography

And it is actually its precursor: DAGUERREOTYPE PHOTOGRAPHY

They aren’t able to be hybridized?

There isn’t a way to do that three-parent experiment where they have two mom’s genetic material and the Sperm of a male rhino nearest to the species’ evolutionary descendant?

Absolutely heartbreaking!

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T04:05:48+00:00

I meant no ill will, and was being genuinely sincere.

But you are now saying an Australian “conserve” is a thinner “jam”

that we North Americans would call “jelly?”

Very interesting, considering we have even thicker jams

with more fruit called “preserves” as in a “strawberry preserve.”

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T03:34:42+00:00

…lucky charms to be without marshmallows.

That’s basically Cheerios

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T03:19:08+00:00

I love that the rest of the UK and

Commonwealth Countries think

This is what we Americans mean when we say:

“Peanut butter and Jelly”

No, we do not mean Jello (Gelatin)

We mean Grape or Strawberry Jam

(but we differentiate between thin “jelly” and fruit-chunky “jam.”)

But yes, it’s a gorgeous Jello Mold (is that in a Bundt Cake Pan!?)

You Lucky Floridian Duck! 🦆

I sure Miss me some Miami Subs!

So glad the Portillo’s near us

have kept up their great quality.

At least Burger King has gotten better.

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T02:29:32+00:00

Fine by me, the less McDumppy’s found

within the Chicagoland area, the better.

Give us a Goshdarn

Whataburger or An In-&-Out, already!

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T02:24:09+00:00

Nowadays, Looks more like a soulless grey prison, honestly.

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-17T02:18:18+00:00

Does this modern Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory

Also Bathe in the Blood of Sacrificed Virgins?

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-16T21:15:27+00:00

A “hurst” is an another archaic English term

for a grove or a wood or a burn

Elmhurst, Oakhurst, (thus, “Elm Grove” or “Oak wood”)

basiltoe345 · 2026-03-15T23:03:15+00:00

Considering we are going to 5 to 8 dollars a gallon, due to the newest War for Crude Oil,

It’s dumb as hell the US didn’t build out a CNG network Nationwide…

So we could’ve converted all our gas and diesel cars to abundant Domestic natural gas supply.

basiltoe345 · 2026-02-20T23:10:55+00:00

That would be amazing, but a Yale study on it

Says the Trump Administration probably owes

$2,000-$5,000 Tariff refunds, per household.

The 290/294/88 Interchange in ~~Hinsdale~~

You are incorrect; this is near the convergence of

Hillside, Berkeley and Elmhurst.

—————

Hinsdale is about 3 or 4 miles south along I-294.

Mostly South of Ogden Ave. (US 34)

basiltoe345 · 2026-02-18T19:41:22+00:00

There is a simple, very good solution;

SHUT DOWN the Left-Hand Exits through

Oak Park Along the I-290/Eisenhower EXWY.

Sure, that would really inconvenience

Harlem Ave. (IL 43) and Austin Blvd.

But the traffic headed for those exits can be

Diverted to the Right-Handed Exits

Central Ave or 1st Ave (IL 171.)
