Sad to see these guys are closing their doors. Apparently they never bounced back post COVID, too bad, I enjoyed most of their offerings that I've tried.
Maybe I should be drinking more beer, you know to save the local economy... 🤷

Finally! A candidate I can relate with.

Weed giants Columbia Care, Cresco Labs call off plans for $2 billion merger

Would you be interested in hosting these? We can make sure they're pinned to the top.
Maybe we can start with monthly threads, I think conversation would admittedly be a little sparse on a weekly thread. I do think having a place to chat informally would be a great addition to the community though!
Has anyone here done this? Im interested but the price seems a little steep for what their offering. (Shout Out to [email protected])

Tomorrow Is Listening | A live 24hr Broadcast by Lumpen Radio and International Anthem | Friday Midnight - Midnight
(midwest.social)
Lumpen Radio and International Anthem are doing a really interesting 24hr broadcast on Lumpen featuring some local (and not) heavyweights, like Star Creature and Numero, starting tonight at midnight and ending with a live preference by two local jazz giants; Damon Locks and Rob Mazurek, tomorrow night at 9.
Some local record shops will also be broadcasting it in store as well( including, 606, pinwheel, reckless, and more)
Should be a good listen 📻
From the email:
TOMORROW IS LISTENING will be available on terrestrial FM radio in the Chicago area via Lumpen Radio (105.5 FM); but more importantly, we have a growing list of independent record shops across the globe who will be tuning in.
That means: you can properly participate in this special day by leaving your solo reality tunnel, heading out IRL and listening to this broadcast in the community of friends and fellow music lovers at the cultural/communal sanctuary of your local record shop. The list of shops who will be tuned to the broadcast gets bigger by the minute.
It sounds like the plan is to keep the ride short and cool down after with a dip in the lake so come prepared 🏊
It's gonna be a hot one tomorrow! The high is going to be around 100 at 3pm and it will likely still be in the mid-to-high 90s when we roll, stay safe, stay hydrated!
Some of the folks on the ride(shout out to [email protected]) I did last weekend mentioned it and said its gets pretty crowded/crazy. Seeing these pictures definitely confirms that!
May have to make it a point to check it out before the summer is over though.
I couldn't have agreed more so I reached out to Seahorse and asked them add me as a mod so I could make some changes despite Simsym being absent. I opted to use the municipal device for the icon as DownHomeChunk suggested (its niche and different) and used the theater sign for the banner like r/chicago has (open to alternatives though!)
Updated, thanks for the suggestion.
Youre good! I use calibre to load ebooks from other sources to my kindle

Chicago weed giant Cresco Labs claims in suit that competitor GTI poached a top-level employee

Griffin doing okay?
Au Cheval is nice but damn do they make you wait! I'll be adding Rubi's and Monster to my list.
I finally tried Phodega on Ashland. I got the Beef Pho, my partner got the chicken Bahn Mi, and we shared an order of fried pork dumplings. To close out the meal we got some of their house-made Ube cookies and those were tasty and a lot of fun, ube seems to be having a moment.
Everything was pretty good but the dumplings stole the show, almost wish I had just gotten 2 orders of those. I got the beef Pho because it's their signature dish but I'm not sure id get it again, it was a little boring and flat and those meat balls were FIRM. It wasn't bad, just not exciting, there were definitely better things on the menu.
Next visit I'll be trying their chicken fried rice.
I think she made the right call
