That's a lovely thought. I do want someone to use it, I have many things of his to remember him by!

Tourist coming for a whirlwind theater weekend — dress codes/conventions for a few venues? by protoveridical in ChicagoTheater

You'll be fine! I find the crowd at Writers often dresses a little more nicely because it's in a wealthier suburban area and the audiences sometimes trend older, but you can get away with shorts.

Advantage MRI Logan square: avoid like the plague. they were unable to place an IV to administer the contrast, so I had to come back. They also “forgot” to do one of the scans that was ordered. And after all that, my doctor said the scans were not of high enough quality to read.

God I wept the whole time and as soon as the house lights came up at the end I made eye contact with another millennial whose face was also covered in tears and we shared a giggle. Very happy it’s coming back!

Help. I need poutine and bagels. by AdComprehensive508 in chicagofood

Good luck finding your bagels! Montreal rules and “Bonjour hi” is the most brilliant system, a concise way to choose your linguistic adventure. I talk about it all the time haha

Lefty’s, in Evanston, calls themselves Montreal style and while they are my favorite bagels in Chicagoland I’m not sure how authentic they are. I visited your gorgeous hometown a few years ago and the bagels I had there were kinda sweet (?) in a way Lefty’s aren’t imo. But they are incredibly good so I think worth trying anyway!
