@grumpasaurus OPRF is one of the burbs I'm open to. my current "Old Town -> Lasalle/Lake" 11 minute cab is entirely too nice of a commute
Replying to @kstatz12@discuss.systems
@kstatz12 old town is pretty great. Whatever replaced doms/red tomato?
Replying to @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange
@grumpasaurus it's a freshmarket now. I think it's open at least. living, essentially, next to twin anchors is the best perk

@kstatz12 speaking of the old doms and foxtrot:
Replying to @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange
@grumpasaurus that foxtrot is back in all of its "not stroller accessible" glory.
Replying to @kstatz12@discuss.systems
@kstatz12 dude enriched himself off a bunch of bag holders and then kicked all the bag holders out
Replying to @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange
@grumpasaurus I don't really get the foxtrot concept. then again my 20s were more "7/11 taquitos and cigarettes" than "14 dollar breakfast sandwiches and charcuterie plates"
Replying to @kstatz12@discuss.systems
@kstatz12 there was nothing new about them but for the way they raised money
Replying to @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange
@grumpasaurus Oh wow. I think the last time I went was 96. Might be fun to head down this week.

@chris i may do an alternative "eat and walk" crawl in Chinatown the next day
Replying to @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange
@grumpasaurus Ooh. That sounds fun. I hate to admit that I’ve never been to Chicago’s Chinatown. I need to fix that.

@chris if you want to meet a stranger from the Internet to go on a food crawl that will fill you with delicious regret let me know
