ooooh chicago
 

my freind and i caught a ride to chicago early saturday, got home late last night.ive benn to chicago plenty of times but this was the first with my bike. my legs a sore,and i rode more than i have in a long time. why did i smell Chocolate in a pat of town? oh and gun shots on jackson are always fun. just wanted to let all you people who live in chicago how great i think your city is

Chocolate = Blommer's Chocolate Factory (on Milwaukee/Des Plaines and Kinzie)

also met freinds at the handlebar great tofu and chips and salsa

Ahhh, the gunshots...personally I can't sleep without 'em anymore. Gotta love Logan Square.

I never feel safe in Chicago.

My Bonnie lies over Chicago.

regarding blommer - some mornings they dump liquid chocolate from a big spigot on the side of the building into the sewer. lots of chocolate. I've only seen it in the winter and it looked like it was steaming.

sometimes they spill the chocolate, and it forms 1/2 inch puddles on the ground, and you can taste it, and its bitter, but its chocolate, then you can roll in it, and its like willie wonka...

Really?

Damn, I can't wait!

blommers is a half mile from my apartment. that's how I take showers in the morning!

Yes, when I worked at the Merchandise Mart we would drive by there many times a day. Sometimes it smells far from good. Like burnt chocolate. But better than the coffee roasting place over by Clybourn/Daemon it stinks over there of burnt coffee every evening it seems.

The Bloomers store in the factory is cheap too. Great for getting people gifts who like chocolate.

ok, I killed this thread over a month ago. who ressurected it? I was reading and it all sounded vaguely familiar, until I hit my post.

btw, tea, thanks for putting that image in my head.

my pleasure! no.... really!

I used to go to school across from the bread place on Chicago Ave, Gonella.

Yum!

isn't that like a fine arts high school?

You went to Chicago Academy for the Arts?
Sorry, man...

They moved to Division St. like 10 years ago.
