Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic

Board Members:

We were not surprised today to hear of a new site being started by the former proprietor of this location. Being hard scrabble, street raised, born in Chicago types, we welcome the competition. Furthermore, we don't have an endless supply of money from our mom's and dad's to pay for our whims and personal fancies. But, we still respect those that survived the brutal upbringing which they experienced on the North Shore that do.

Furthermore, we are familiar with terms like goodwill and non-compete, which are clauses often referenced and used in the sale of businesses. The absence of a non-compete clause in our agreement, and the "goodwill" of the former owner speak for the themselves.

As we move forward, we wish all of our competitors nothing but the best. We look forward to future board gatherings, but my dad will not be paying for the drinks.

Sincerely,
Management

No. I mean, "no" obviously, because it's your guess, but "no" for other reasons too.

I'm not witty enough.

Is that a CVL hood? I used to drive down Cicero or Laramie every night on the way to Sportsman's Park. There was a little place at Cicero near Madison that sold pig ear sandwiches. The sign had a crazy looking old black dude, his eyes bugging out, in a chef's coat and toque chasing a pig with a cleaver. One day my buddy and I just had to stop for a pig ear sandwich. It was okay, pretty chewy, and kind of tough. Decent sauce though. The guys inside asked us if we were wrestlers. :lol:

I still feel bad when I go past Cicero and Maypole and the Buddy Bear grocery is no longer there. People who care shop Buddy Bear.

I don't get down there often anymore but I met a friend out at Hawthorne a couple weeks ago. My wife admonished me not to drive down Cicero. "Take Harlem! There are shootings on Cicero!" Fuck that. Do you really think I was going all the way out to Harlem Avenue to avoid shootings? On my way home I saw the scene of an actual shooting not far from the Eisenhower. They had the yellow tape out and there was a body on the ground. It was in the paper the next day.

if there was another branch called the liberal vice lords do you think they'd be out crusading against white privilege, or do you think they'd actually encourage it so they could literally AND figuratively surf the wave of white privilege all the way to the bank?

Sincerely, Management Does management feel the pressure to create a NSFW forum to compete with Biggies NSFW forum? Biggie does after all have MANY pics of "conventions" he has attended. What can management offer? Will ICEGIRL be given a section to post selfies?

No, I don't think it ever was. They were more like Lawndale iirc. But it is funny how non-city types (assumption #1) fear all facets of city life. I was just in a fairly safe, extremely gentrified part of the city where a guy was talking about how he had to set up his home like Fort Knox. And Seacrest, I've never even heard of Ribs Supreme. But then again, South Siders really never had much reason to go head out west, especially for BBQ.

I grew up near Laramie and North, and still like to drive through the neighborhood from time to time when I'm in the area. Still see some of the same joints I ate at 40 years ago (G&N, Victor's Pizza, Margie's Beef), though I'm not brave enough to go in.
