    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    Why anyone would want Arlington heights over the lakefront baffles me. Imagine a Super Bowl right downtown Chicago on the lakefront. These plans are amazing IMO. Miles better than a stadium surrounded by miles of parking lot 20miles out of the city

    Ed Podolak stepping aside

    I saw Gary Dolphin at a nice IC bar one Friday night before a cyhawk game. He was nestled up at the bar with a cocky smirk on his face as all these grown men came up to him showering him in praises acting like schoolgirls. Dolph has a perfect voice for radio but it really seems like being the...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    Opinions are opinions and I get it - but there’s a reason why people travel to go see Wrigley and Fenway and Yankee stadium opposed to Kaufman stadium in KC just surrounded by a whole lot of concrete parking lots. IMO I like to have something in the center of town that I can take transit to and...

    Are you doing any weed today (4/20)?

    I’m pretty chilled out with even 5mg and 10 will zonk me out. I might float to Pluto if I have 200

    Nostalgia for the 90's and 00's

    I was born in 93 and sometimes wish I was born about 10yrs earlier so I could fully experience this time. I’d take being born in 93 over ‘03 any day but just a little jealous of folks born in the few decades before me. Things just seem like they were simpler, and as some others have mentioned...

    Mickeys used to be a pancheros?? Man I would have killed for a pancheros on Welch, but I do love Mickeys. Wish Pancheros was where the flying burrito was

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    Was thinking about this in the thread about old places in Ames that have since closed. Got me wondering what were the best spots in Campustown each decade. Other than Cy's and Welch ave station I feel like most everything there is new from this century. When I was at school in the 2010s it was...

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    This may need it's own thread but I'm curious what were the best/most popular campustown bars by decade? Other than Cy's and Welch ave station I feel like most everything there is new from this century. When I was at school in the 2010s it was always Cys, Sips/Paddys, Welch Ave, AJs were the...

    We Will Pizza!

    My FOMO goes off the charts whenever this thread pops up. Wish I could get it out of state. Love the idea of firing up a breakfast pizza, having an Ames lager, and watching some college football this fall

    Malort

    It’s pretty gross but gotta take one if you’re in Chicago and get offered one. Won’t kill you and I’m sure you’ll get a laugh out of how bad it is
