Peach Buzz
A rooftop patio for 75 patrons, complete with a polished granite bar, decorative planter boxes and one killer view of the massive Buckhead retail renovation currently under way. McGill says the pub's menu faves like corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips and famous boxtys are staying put as are those popular early AM televised soccer and rugby matches that are heavily attended by British ex pats and their American friends. Alas, the inconvenient hour of the game telecasts here (the matches are played in the PM across the pond) is something McGill says won't change either, Quipped McGill: "The vagaries of time travel forces us to show them at that hour here." If city permits are issued in a timely fashion, the new Fado should be open in time for St.
Democrats Are Hocking Their Agenda As If They Were at a Fire Sale
The pro-wrestling, the rigged fake fights are just more fun to watch until the arena burns down. Who cares what a bribe-taker says??? Because when someone is corrupt it doesn't matter what is their party affiliation is. All you need to is that they are crooked as a dog's hind leg and only represent those who pay them. For example, suppose you are Satan. You can run as a candidate in any party, or movement. All you have to do is bone up on the predominant ideological slant, and then become a zealot for that ideology. Except that, since you're Satan, your agenda has nothing to do with the B.S. You're gonna lie and BULLSHIT spew to get elected. It is a ruse. A con. Very few of the politicians elected to federal office have any concern whatsoever about the ideology that they rode on to get there.
Former Naperville lawyer Glink dies
Marvin Glink made his mark on every level of municipal law. Whether it was in Naperville, as his firm represented the municipality during the 1960s to '70s timeframe, or through his activities in the International Municipal Lawyers Association, Glink approached life by being all-giving to every person. "He did give back to others," said Glink's wife, Peg. "In Naperville, he started as a charter member of the Rotary-Sunrise Club and was very active in that. Then when we moved to Arizona he became active here. He has just been involved in one project after another in his life, in all types of charitable organizations." Glink, a former Naperville resident, died Feb. 7 in Rio Verde, Ariz., at age 79. Glink, who received his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois and his law degree from Chicago Kent College of Law, was an original partner in what is now known as the Ancel, Glink, Diamond, Bush, DiCanni and Krafthefer firm.
Wilco pulls out all the stops in five-night residency
How special was Wilco's show Friday night at the Riviera Theatre? Special enough to bring back the banjo. The Chicago band's longtime listeners will recall a time when front man Jeff Tweedy wanted so badly to break with his roots-rock beginnings that he told fans to stash the twangy instrument in a rather uncomfortable part of their collective anatomy. .
