Harlem and 135th Street. I pass both by every time I go to the gym. But I try not to think about it.

haha! Exactly the place! She lived in the apartments right by Portillo's.
It is a good thing I don't have a portillo's near me, I would be there WAY too much.

I meant Harlem and 159th Street. I live off 135th Street. Which I guess it sounded familiar. :hammer:
Portillo's isn't much of a temptation to me because there are better beef sandwiches in the area. If I'm going to take on all those calories, I'm going to go to my favorite beef stand, Tony's on 70th and Pulaski. Or I'd do Buona Beef out in Berwyn. The beef at Hot Diggity's downtown is pretty good, too.

And obviously I don't know my streets very well. 159th sound even more right.
:hammer:
I have eaten at Buona Beef before, but I know nothing about Hot Diggity's.

Buona Beef has nothing on Portillos - in my humble opinion. Maybe I just like being able to get one of the best Chicago-style dogs AND an Italian beef at one meal! :slurp:

Hot Diggity's is a little stand off Columbus Drive. I think it's on Grand Avenue. Lots of folks from CBS studios used to go there. Hey, Jer! You know the place I'm talking about?
This calls for a contest. If all you need to make your beef experience complete is a Chicago-style hot dog, you'd like Tony's. If you're still hungry, you can also get a Tom-Tom tamale!
I had some on Sunday. It's good. And cheap too!

The Portillo's Strawberry Shortcake is outstanding. Every time I go I have to pick one up for my dad. I am thinkin' next time we are up near the 'burbs we will be stoping by Portillo's. :slurp:
One of my girlfriends texted me with "I'm eating yummy Portillos right now" earlier this week
Or should I say "former girlfriend" :fork: :fork: evil person
*drool*
It was my brother's favorite ice cream!
Elaine Oberweis is married into my family via some 4857439867568579th cousin or other. But no free ice cream thus far

Between the hot weather and the wind those cicadas were everywhere. I had at least 3 fly into windshield of my car. When they do, because they are not good flyers they kinds flap thier wings and flop around unti the wind caries them away. If they were in my car, I'd probally end up getting in an accident trying to get it out of the car.
Our last day of school is friday and I was dropping of the gift of the teacher i work with today instead of tomorrow. I thought a cicada had landed on me in the parking lot but I didn't feel or hear anything. I was about to giver her her gift when just over my shoulder, I could see it on my back. I told her what the gift was for and asked her to remove it before I started freeking out. I can't stand them. There was wine in her gift and if I dropped it we would have had a big mess to clean up.
Hopefully things will be beter tomorrow

How was the wind last night around Chi-town? We had gusts around 45 mph here in central IL, but nothing too bad. We get that about once or twice a month, we are kinda used to it now.

Oh, that Tom Skilling and his prediction of 90 MPH winds. We didn't get any rain either, it went well south of us. Needless to say, my lawn looks BAD right now.

:lol: You read my mind.... I was gonna say something about Mr. Skilling (nothing bad)... but deleted that part from my post. I dont think he ever said anything about 90mph winds though. I just think the tribune slapped that on the front page of their web site... and ran with it. :shrug:

Oh,.... so round two of Batman: The Dark Night started shooting yesterday afternoon... they will be here until September (YAY). I hope to snag some pics of the Tumbler.. and the new Batcycle.
They converted the top floor of my old parking garage to a set:

HA! Exactly where I read it. Perhaps I should say, oh, that chicago tribune and their headline of 90 MPH winds!

Awesome!
Additional randomness -
They are filiming a movie in Blue Island right now. It is about the first African American football player to win a Heisman. It has Dennis Quaid in it...I think that is the only big name. Nonetheless, I've been stalking the crew all about town. It is pretty cool to watch!
