Mitchell Park Domes - Falling into the 50s


#fallcolors #mitchelparkdomes #milwaukee

I arrived at the domes before opening. I wondered why there was a lot of people rushing to the domes. It turns out that they are holding a farmers market every Saturday until April. As I was leaving, I tried a sausage roll. It was very good but cold.

Today the theme of the dome was "Falling into the 50s". They had a a great red and white ’55 Chevy 210 hardtop.

The fall colors in the rest of Mitchell Park was very beautiful,

Review: Buffalo Wild Wings (Waukegan)


I was in Waukegan, IL to transfer the title of my parent's home to the new owner.
Before the transfer, I was looking for the Officemax store and saw BWW. I decided to give it a try. As I entered, there were a lot of people waiting (friday 12:30pm). BWW is a sports bar. dark and noisy. Many TVs for watching games.

I asked the guy how long a wait. He sent me back to the bar area. I took a seat at the only low (regular) table as the waitress quickly appeared. My order of naked tenders and fries came quickly. I was concerned the tenders seemed to be sitting in a pool of greasy but they were good. nice and flavorful. As I am dieting, I had planned to only eat 6 (3 for sauce, 3 without) but it was hard to stop at just 6. I ordered the mild sauce. It reminded me of ranch dressing. I didn't like it on the fries.

If you like sports bars, BWW would be a good choice.

Review: Harold's Chicken #41



Harold's #41 has a funky urban loft look. Friendly staff. Ordered 2 fried breast. Nice flavorful coating but would be on bottom half on my top ten. Fries were average. Give it a try.

Review: Longman & Eagle (Logan Square - Chicago)



L&E is in a nondescript building. The front bar and dining area is dark but the back dining area is nice and airy.

I ordered Toast with Housemade Preserves & Whipped Butter and Housemade Breakfast Sausage. This toast was not your usually store bought bread. It was very tasty as was the sausage.

Review: Edzo's Burgers (Lincoln Park)


On the way home from work, I stopped at Edzo's Burgers in Lincoln Park (Chicago). It has a couple tables and counter stools. Very friendly staff.

I ordered a single burger, garlic fries and a chocolate shake. Since not all the shake fit in the paper cup, I was given the extra to drink while I waited. Every thing was good but the garlic butter made the fries look wet and very greasy.

San Antonio riverwalk boat tour

While in San Antonio attending LoneStarCon 3, I took the boat tour from the Rivercenter Mall. I enjoyed it very much but sit next to the driver looking out. There is a speaker there so I had the driver's talk blasting in my ear the entire tour.













Review: Hooters (San Antonio)

While attending LoneStarCon 3, I decided to try Hooters. I went to the one in the Riverside Mall.

I went on Friday around 5:30pm. It was not crowded. The Hooters gals spent most of the time grouped around the bar.

I ordered the Western BBQ Burger and fries. The burger was great. And normally, I try to limit my fries eating to 4 or 5. These were great and end up eating most of them.


I enjoyed the meal and watching the gals so I went for lunch the next day. This time it was crowded. I had chicken fingers which were average. And I had no trouble limiting the number of fries to 4 or 5 - bleah.
