Yabbut these are not places you'll be eating at on a nightly basis. I could say the same about Boston as well - Legal's, Faneuil Hall, etc. BTW, did you get to meet my buddy, Chris?

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
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.

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 phertz...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup Message-ID: cab4qbqf-n-tnmuvir1t0ve0fg_1xa-78ywm0_r21rcsvf_j...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Best of luck to you.
