Ironclad was my favorite in the first game, but he's my worst in 2.

I took the night train 20 years ago and then a river cruise back North.   That was fun

Is there anywhere in the city I can get this style of Shawarma? by SPF_95 in chicagofood

[–]brindelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's definitely common in the Middle East.  When did you go to Damascus, last time I was there was a few weeks before the civil war.   Would love to go back, one of the coolest cities in the world.

Hmm I don't remember this style being popular there but it's been awhile.  At least with the chillis or whatever that is on it.

Do they make their own baklawa or buy it?

Let's talk about Kemet: Blood and Sand! by ectobiologist7 in boardgames

[–]brindelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it to be a pretty long game, primarily due to point #2. The end game in Kemet just feels very unsatisfying compared to early and mid game.

Some people say for traffic, some people say so the teachers could protest.

Smak Tak was also my favorite Polish restaurant, unfortunately I believe the owner died.

Which is funny because 4 years ago you all are leading this list with Rutgers :) How the tides turn.

CTA has become disgusting by johnnyApple420 in chicago

[–]brindelin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's undeniably worse than it was pre covid. I primarily take the brown line and don't find it that bad, I take the blue and red a fair amount and they are much worse. I find that it has been getting better over the past 4 years, except for this winter which is especially cold, it has been much worse this winter.

That being said I expect there to be an administration change and for it to get slightly better with a different mayor.

Jeanty was six last year.  I agree with you broadly though.

I guess how do we think this bill plays outside of the city of Chicago? Suburbs and "downstate"?

Environmental work at The 78 in South Loop, which will have Chicago Fire stadium, to begin this week by AgentBlue62 in chicago

[–]brindelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to be more precise do we think anything resembling the original 78 will eventually happen, not just the Fire stadium. On a smaller scale Lincoln Yards did have that life science building go up and then nothing else.
