I was about to go on a huge rant about how awful it is, but then I found the renovated portions which are really quite nice.

When there's international crises happening at airports across usa, or just generally, how do people who aren't flying anywhere get to go past the security checkpoints? Or is this a pre-security McD's?

I haven't gone looking with that goal. I am always on the lookout for anything interesting though. I haven't seen a snake in the wild, but I have seen a snake in a bottle of booze in a pub. Habushu or Habuzake, an Okinawan delicacy.

it might be fun for you to go out and catch some of the ones that look like this and then ship them to me.

Chicago cats, where should I dine tomorrow night downtown by magnificent mile? Traveling for work with a coworker. I'll actually be there a lot the next couple of months. UIC is a new school of mine.

I have lived in MO for 8 months and have seen 1 MO snake. It was a baby so I don't think it was a immigrant snake but maybe an anchor snake

Had a Topeka snaked try to slither 3 stories up a drain spout to get to my precious mourning dove nest of my balcony. I put him back on the ground.

What are you looking for? There are some super nice restaurants down there and also some decent spots that are more casual.

My go-to in that area is Jake Melnick's. http://www.jakemelnicks.com/food/main-menu

If you're looking for something a little fancier (but not insanely upscale), Remington's http://www.remingtonschicago.com/#work, The Gage https://www.thegagechicago.com/dinner-1 and Cantina Laredo https://www.cantinalaredo.com/our-menu/?menu=dinner&locId=cantina-laredo-40 are all good and in that general area.

TY Dlew! I'll check these places out. I'm really up for anything. On the companies dime, so if it's a bit fancier, so be it.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #9197 on:** February 01, 2017, 03:51:41 PM »

That Cantina place looks right up my alley.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #9198 on:** February 01, 2017, 04:46:33 PM »

Probably a Chili's or something close

DQ12 · « **Reply #9199 on:** February 02, 2017, 09:04:12 AM »

I've never heard of anyone not liking Cantina Laredo, Wacky. May want to give them a call and get reservations depending on what time you're planning on being there.
