I wish I could go to Portillos right now...:slurp:
Mmm. I had Portillo's last night. :slurp:

*so jealous*Mmm. I had Portillo's last night. :slurp:
My sister lived in Tinley Park for 2 years, I loved going and visiting her, since there was a portillo's within walking distance. Oh, and an Oberwiess (sp!?) ice cream shop. MMMM. :slurp:
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.
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:I meant Harlem and 159th Street. I live off 135th Street. Which I guess it sounded familiar. :hammer:

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.

It was an adventure mowing the lawn over the weekend, I was under constant attack. The critters were coming at me and landing on me from all directions. I was riding my lawn tractor when I approached a low hanging tree branch I noticed it was loaded with cicadas. Not wanting to get a face full of bugs I leaned way back, just then the steering wheel popped off and I tumbled backwards off the tractor spilling out on the lawn, luckily the tractor has a deadmans switch that kills the engine when no one is sitting on the tractor. After my wife realized I wasn't hurt, she had a good laugh! When I came into the house after mowing all morning She asked me if I shook myself off, I said yes that I did, but then felt something on my neck, swatting at my neck and back a couple of cicadas fell to the floor, to which my wife screamed, then had another good laugh at my expense. I know these guys are harmless, but they're creepy as heck!
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.
Pfft.. we didnt get a drop here in the Western burbs... very little wind... pfft I was all psyched for this major storm... and we got nadda.![]()
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:
