Speaking of places

This site reminds me of some more Chicago places.

Roeser's Bakery: this bakery is on a stretch of North Avenue that signaled to me that I was heading into a different stretch of Chicago. For nine months, I lived in a rough neighborhood of Chicago --- West Humboldt Park. I could probably write several posts about my living experience. This bakery breaks through class and racial barriers in the customers it serves.

Schuba's: The Schlitz sign is not the thing I love about this building. I love the old, terra-cotta Schlitz globe. Okay, I also love their Bloody Mary's.

Green Mill: One of the best venues in Chicago.
