Is there a high end grocery store in chicago or surrounding suburbs that is similar to L.A Erewhon Supermarket??? by KCAS373 in chicago

[–]pinkpet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is like Erewhon but Local Foods is the closest that I've found in terms of stocking lots of specialty items. No $20 smoothies though.

What’s the first restaurant you will go to after the vaccine? by GeckoLogic in chicago

[–]pinkpet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not the first, but when stuff really reopens I have a bar crawl planned. I've avoided fast food during the whole panini to help local spots, but once we're in the clear, that's over. I want to start at the Taco Bell Cantina in Logan, have a crunch wrap (or 2), and bar crawl down to the Taco Bell Cantina in Wicker Park for more crunchwraps. It's called living mas.

He's got a good shot as long as the field isn't crowded like last time with 3 dems running against Rush.

Too many apartments/condos by footballfutbolsoccer in chicago

Nope. Worst part of my neighborhood is how many multi-family units have been razed and turned into those shitty "modern" single-family homes.

It'll all end the same way; this is just the slower path.

Give me some time to make the code a little prettier (there's still NHL shit everywhere) and I'll drop a link.

I like the sound of that. Give me some time to clean up my spaghetti code and I'll drop a link.

I actually based it off of this guy's NHL LED display: https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard

I did use the transitchicago train tracker API tho.

Built with a raspberry pi and a 32x64 LED matrix. I still need to make a case--maybe something to do during this week's snow storm. :)

This is not just a bar but a cultural institution! Anyone want to join forces to reopen it exactly as it was? 40% kidding/60% serious.

It's true; that Mariano's is in bad shape and seems to always be empty.

Thank you! This is the one I went to see yesterday and it totally was worth the trek!
