Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup
Oh, right. Well lessee, Giordanos Pizza, a Greek place I can't remember the name of, my friends live on the edge of GreekTown. Butterfly Thai (Crazy Spicy Noodles), Heaven on Seven (had the "Hot as a Mutha") and finally ended up at the Twisted Spoke. Saturday was Lou Mitchell's for breakfast. -Curt Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:44:51 -0500 From: Mountain Man To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Curt wrote: > For the Chi-Town resident listers I didn't get to meet I'll catch you next > time, this was a super quick trip.

Don't recall Winnepeg, as I was only there once and it was in the dead of winter, but been to Vancouver many times and it was definitely a very well kept place.

Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup
Started looking at apartments today, its not horrible but its certainly possible to spend a huge amount. We'll plan on renting at least through the first year. Hard to tell if I'll be able to have a Benz there, probably won't have space to work on it myself and ideally my commute will cut down to walking. Also we have a note on the Ranger so I'm not sure we can sell it. -Curt Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:01:01 -0500 From: Peter Hertzing To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Best of luck to you.
