I have no idea, at first I was just taking a picture of the old marquee, and then noticed the film titles afterward. :lol:

This theater is in Iowa City, perhaps it is an independant/college film.

It's a one-guy musical act by Ben Chasny. He'll be at the Empty Bottle at the end of this month.

I assumed it was the ticket price. Steep.

Just back today from an eminently forgettable trip to Shenzhen. Just didn't get a chance to venture out much and what little I did was altogether ordinary tasting. Most food was confined to the conference - and ordinary.
Conference buffet:

What respite I got from the situation, I derived from the signage:

I've been passing by Pars Cove on Diversey near Sheridan for decades, but only today noticed what their nicely-art-directed electrically-lit permanent hanging sign says: Causal Intimate Dining.

I'm trying to work out what that means.

Would love to see this sign when it is lit up, thankfully as they are not closing I might get that chance(i didnt see many photos of the sign on here when I did a search,so I just want to share these I took yesterday, I cant wait to try the sausage)).

Image

from left to right, the happy pigs(they are smiling if you look close) light up and "jump" into the grinder:

Image

which pumps out sausage that forms the word "sausage". 8)

Rosario's
87th & Pulaski

from what I overheard the plans to close have been put on indefinite hold, good news as the sausage is fantastic(lots of fennel, and flavor):

Rosario's Italian rope.

My new resolution is to take our lesser digital camera and keep it in the car for moments like this.
Kaufman's has a sign on their doors warning customers not to park in the pawn shop's lot. Inside the store, however, the sign reads a little differently:

PLEASE do not park in the pawn shop lot! The owner is being an ass and he will tow your car! :lol:

spied this sign a couple weeks ago, "worlds largest ham sandwich" claim caught my eye. googled it when I got home and there is a Youtube video of the sandwich done by the PJ Star a couple years ago. Heard they might be out of business looked open last saturday, going to head back to verify as I went by yesterday before what would have been there hours of operation.

Chubbys Corner - Troy Grove, IL.

Chubbys Corner
307 E. Church Street
Troy Grove, IL.

Looking up the address I see that Troy Grove is the location of the Wild Bill Hickok memorial, marking his birthplace, going to check that out.

Also read about a ham sandwich at a spot down in El Paso, IL.
