Default Anyone near this address in Chicago?
I'll be there Monday and Tuesday night next week. Client address is 223 W. Erie and my hotel is less than a quarter mile from there. If anyone's up for a late dinner, I land at 6:37 pm.

My treat of course.

I recognize the corner from a video of a fight where a guy threw a car tire, but it was too hard to find the video because there are just too many videos of fights in chicago. Good luck.

If I were any near Shitcago, I'd meet up with you. But I'm not.

Safe travels!

I used to work a mile from your client - 2 N Riverside. Miss the food, for sure. Surprisingly clean city, at least compared to NY.

Damn I gained too 311 last night 309 this morning. I found it is a lot easier to order jeans online for more large options. And why in the hell does the store put the tallest size on the ****ing bottom shelf?

All right...Chicago has disappointed a lot of people in many ways, myself included. But this (barely a) lurker is not going to let you come into town without getting a taste of some food, beverage and architecture.

I can be in the city Tuesday night, will shoot you a message. If any locals want to come out, send me one.

Craig, that is nice of you, but leave your wallet in your hotel.
