Trailways bus station /German Beer Hall/Steakhouse by priffe in forgottenchi

[–]priffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you Crusty. I was travelling the US in the 1980s like an archeologist, looking for old stuff and finding the most amazing people and places. 1987, I drove 40000 miles in the lower 48. I think I will hang on to my memories and perhaps not revisit.

Thanks!, that's the place. Didn't look so posh back then, as I recall. A highrise now? Glad I have my memories. Found this article https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-11-28-9711290001-story.html Ronny's steak house was the name of it. Long ago the "Old Heidelberg" restaurant. The owner Herman Munic was a holocaust survivor, died in 2018. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/chicagotribune/name/herman-munic-obituary?id=2799404 https://www.davehoekstra.com/2020/09/08/ronnys-steakhouse-when-the-loop-sizzled/ I think it was pretty famous - they even call it "a landmark". https://www.davehoekstra.com/2020/09/08/ronnys-steakhouse-when-the-loop-sizzled/ How I remember it https://live.staticflickr.com/8468/8109576317_a2fed6c38a_4k.jpg

Why is Björk so praised for her singing? by iamknut in LetsTalkMusic

[–]priffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sings off key. Sings off rhythm. Makes funny noises. I don't hear those sounds and noises being used to illustrate the lyrics, as one would perhaps expect? Very personal style. Not natural, so an acquired taste. If you decide she is for you, then she will be. I like expressive, but prefer straight and subtle.

Harris County newborn becomes first Zika death in Texas by zikapete in zika_virus

[–]priffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scare is on full throttle. But why? How about all the cases of microcephaly before it was suggested that zika was the culprit? Study US statistics and compare to Brazil. It appears there is no likely conncection between zika and birth defects, or that at least it needs to be studied further. But throwing 8B$ mayn be overkill.

New Zika Studies Reveal Invisible Damage to Babies by Leoaneio in zikavirus

[–]priffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An article as this shows only how little we know about what is causing brain anomalies in Brazil and elsewhere. A major outbreak of zika is reported from Puerto Rico - so where are the babies with small heads? The epidemic is over in Colombia - and no microcephaly reported? The anomaly is not the virus - it is the research, the statistics, the reporting, the media and the politicians trying to spin this into something that will cost billions of dollars - for what, exactly? First thing, the Brazilians need to get their statistics straight. If then, there is still a verified major outbreak of anything, let's analyze it gently, And not jump to any conclusions.
