    5+ gigs a week in the Bay=indifference. One performance a year in LA, NY, NOLA or Chicago=adoration. Funny how that works...

    @gogocrede NO SNOW. Once it snows or drops below freezing, Chicago is officially ~*~DEAD TO ME~*~ until spring.

  • s00zer:
    supposed to get our first snow in Chicago tonight or tomorrow. I don't mind the cold, it's the icy sleet and freezing wind that stinks.

    Hey Chicago! Time for a new Golden Local competition. Who has the better last call, The Hangge-Uppe or Carol's Pub? link

What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 5, 2009 at 8:15 a.m.

Sunday's Chicagotribune.com and its print edition had an interesting analysis of the casinos in the greater Chicagoland area. Reporter Jason George analyzed nine casinos within 100 miles of Downtown Chicago. He also ranked them, listing them "in order of (his) affection."

Landing on the top of his list? Milwaukee's very own Potawatomi Bingo Casino.

Here's what he had to say about Potawatomi:

"In 18 years, Potawatomi has grown from a humble bingo parlor to the region's top spot for gaming entertainment.

"Tons of tables and slots? Check.

"Good food? Check.

"Cool bar and nightclub? Check.

"Simply put, Saturday night here feels like a trip to Sin City, minus the flight."

I say turn the Firepit Sports Grill into a Full-Fledged Vegas Sportsbook. And get a real Nightclub in there. And a Hotel would be nice. And since they're technically on Reservation soil, they can do whatever they want with the drinking times.

High Life Man is right. Without those two things...it's NOT like Sin City at all.

It's time for them to build a hotel - and allow 24-hour drinking!
