And onto the zoo, hope these photo's upload nicer....

Free zoo. Entrances around the entire park and you can come and go as you please, at one exit there is a patio bar and next to that an ice cream parlor.

The Zebras behave so much better than the Disney Zebras so they were a tad bit more boring to watch lol.

I was sad though, I didn't know they shipped off my favorite critter, the polar bear (s) to another zoo while they build the a whole new home.

And again 'cause I can....

I love these pictures! I am a sucker for animal photos. You did an amazing job with the lion and tiger pictures in particular. The one of the lion roaring is great, and you must have been quick to catch that particular shot.

14 days until Memorial Day.

I have to say that you fooled me with this countdown; I was sure it was going to be a Father's Day countdown and you threw in Memorial Day, just to throw me off!

Thank you. My kids do take better photos than me.

I'll have to upload photo's from two places but it will be one of my favorite restaurant finds in a long while. Normally when we are in Lincoln Park Chicago we eat at RJ Grunts, the first Lettuce Entertainment restaurant and the home of the Original Salad Bar concept. Sad I was that I couldn't land a ressie. So I went to Zagat and found Chicago Pizza and Grinder.

History of Building, freak'n old. "If the building ever did possess gentility, though, it was abruptly forsaken on February 14, 1929, as the guttural yammering of submachine guns in a garage almost directly across the street brought the notorious “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” to headlines around the world. Rumor even has it that the house at 2121 North Clark served as a lookout post for hoodlum henchmen of the Valentine gunners."

They have a very limited menu and the only substitutions is vegetarian or meat varieties, mushrooms or no mushrooms. It is posted this a CASH ONLY restaurant and in case you don't notice they tell you again as you are seated. Menu: http://chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com/menu.htm

We were seated in the booths with the roof. This is it, the entire restaurant. No ressies, he doesn't take your name, everyone was told 45 minutes and 45 minutes it was, exactly. We couldn't figure out how the dude did it. He doesn't write names down, people are in a breeze way, outside and a tiny lobby about 8x8 feet. But he found us.

We started with the flatbread a Mediterranean and Slurp it was good. Plus a Small Country Salad to split that would have easily fed 8 people. It had Lettuce, onions, peppers, tomatoes, chopped green onions, green and black olives, cucumbers, artichoke hearts... topped with crumbled Farmers cheese. They brought all three salad dressings to the table, Italian which was meh, Sweet Sour Poppyseed which was excellent and creamy sour cream garlic. The mix of the poppyseed and garlic was yummy.

We we flatly told since we had not been here before we would all be ordering Pizza Pot Pies as that is what they were most famous for even though the Grinders are considered excellent. So there were several Meat Pot Pies and one Veterinarian Pot Pie ordered and multiple glasses of wine.

It comes out upside down, they flip it over and everything that was cooked in the bowl with the dough on top, they pry the bowl out and all this loveliness sets up quickly in the pizza dough.

It was honk'n amazing. All the fresh ingredients are aside from the cheese are diced finely and are part of the sauce which was heavenly.

This looks great, and I like that there was a little history to the place. Hubby and I might have to check this place out next time we are in the Chicago area to visit the in-laws.

Wow, that is amazing! I never got any free food in school.

We got free pizza a few weeks ago in my sales class.

Needless to say, I was very happy.

You're chipping away at these finals, and making great progress. Hang in there!

Thanks.

Today was actually the last day that I had to go to my school. Work is done, and everything else is due over email.

I have to go to my other school tomorrow and Thursday. Tomorrow is the last class. They are on a different schedule from my school. Thursday is the final exam.

 

[Gabe1]

Mine too. Your zoo looks really nice.!

While some of Chicago deserves the stereo typing it gets, it is unfortunate that the whole city falls under that icky blanket by the outside world. This zoo is operated by the Chicago Park District and private donors, it is open
365 days a year while still remaining free. It is a wonderful place.

Do miss my buddy though. Hope Anana is well in her hopefully temporary digs in North Carolina.

New digs for Penguins and Polar Bears in 2016

The Zoo in No. Carolina is a very nice place. It reminds me a lot of the "savanna" at WDW. Wide open spaces, shady areas and very pleasant surroundings. Anana may not want to go back.

Your zoo is free??!! The one in my area is $16.00 for adults.

As for Chicago, I haven't heard many negative comments. It's a big city with it's own set of problems, just like any other major city. My impression has always been that it looked like an exciting city to visit.

 

[Gabe1]

Yes. But a backsplit is a house of staggered levels.

Level #1 (Top level) - 3 bedrooms and a bath. Equivalent to the second storey of a traditional home.

Down 8 steps, as opposed to 13 or 14 to Level #2 - living room, dining room, kitchen, front door. This level is 8 risers above grade. That's why you see so many steps leading to my front porch/front door in my pics.

Down 5 steps to Level #3 - side entry, hallway, bath, huge family room with patio doors to deck. This level is 2 risers above grade, is the exact same size as the bedroom level, and sits directly beneath the top level.

Down 8 steps to Level #4 (first basement level) - rec room, kitchenette, bedroom, laundry/bath. This level sits directly below the kitchen/living room level, and is only about half below grade

Down 4 steps to Level #5 (the basement, completely below grade) - two storage areas, a second rec room, utility room (furnace, water heater), huge walk in closet. This level sits directly below the family room, and has slightly lower headroom.

Levels 1,3, and 5 face north.
Levels 2 and 4 face south.

Levels 1 and 2 roofs are separate, and each has its own attic area and separate access hatches. You cannot access one attic from the other.

In short; yes five storeys, but each is smaller than in a traditional 3-level 2-storey. Yes, four sets of stairs, but only half flights. Split levels, due to their configuration, are difficult to cool.

And thus ends my most boring ever post.

@donaldtoo could probably explain it using American terms, in half as many words.
I've noticed Canadian bungalows and ranches mean something completely different than in the U.S.

This is how Altgeld Hall, Mathematics building is too. A bit hard to tell from the outside but each floor had varying steps up and down, usually about 3-5. It is being reworked, it is a landmark and the schools bell tower that does have an employee to ring the bells. But it is so not ADA compliant so they are going to fix it somehow.

The Zoo in No. Carolina is a very nice place. It reminds me a lot of the "savanna" at WDW. Wide open spaces, shady areas and very pleasant surroundings. Anana may not want to go back.

About 7-8 years ago, I was visiting my brother in N.C. He took me to some sort of conservation/education center (somewhere in the general vicinity of Greensboro, NC) that also had a nice assortment of zoo animals. I really liked the meerkats exhibit--they were hilarious!!

Well if you go to visit, say Hi! for me. I wonder if she will come back. She sure thrived by interacting with the visitors, she is a big 'ole ham. NC lost 2 of their Polar Bears so they were in need of her to open their new Polar Bear exhibit and she is getting up in age so I wonder if they will risk shipping her back home.

Me too please

Medium-rare, please...!

Your zoo is free??!! The one in my area is $16.00 for adults.

As for Chicago, I haven't heard many negative comments. It's a big city with it's own set of problems, just like any other major city. My impression has always been that it looked like an exciting city to visit.

Lincoln Park Zoo is free. Brookfield Zoo which is about 30-45 minutes from there is massive. My Mom took us to Brookfield when we were growing up and I had a membership to Brookfield when my kids were young. It is expensive though.

The reason why our family of 4 had a membership, parking was free with it too. As years went on it was easier to hop a train and go downtown with all downtown has to appeal to my kids. But still, it is a 2 hour commute each way to get to Lincoln Park but Brookfield is no Joy to reach either and I have to do the Eisenhower expressway to get there and I hate that expressway. I'd rather take the train and the bus to Lincoln Park and not pay the $17 a head plus car charge. At least I have a choice.

I recall on weekends, the local networks in my area had a few bowling shows. That was ages ago. My parents used to belong to a weekly bowling league for recreation. They had fun with their pals.

My folks joined a bowling league when we moved to Alabama in '66, and they continued on with it for a bit after we moved to No Cal in '68. Then, dad coached all of us in Little League Baseball. We moved back to Texas, and more baseball, soccer, and then softball coaching' for our younger sis, although mom joined and played in a local bowling league for several years. Now, pop has bowling once a week for several years.

And yes, I do remember watching those tournaments on the major networks, on the weekends, from time to time.
