Ha, not at all. (For anyone wondering, the thread title originally read "Damen west of North," which would obviously be an interesting address.)

Here is a second-hand experience: My roommate and I were meeting a potential 3rd roommate and shooting the shit about bikes and whatnot. Potential 3rd roommate said that he had brought a bike with a bent dropout (not a bent derailleur hanger, according to him, but a bent dropout) to Fast Lane, and the owner of the place said that he would need a welder to fix the bike. But miraculously enough, the owner of Fast Lane was, himself, a welder, and fixed and tuned up the bike for $50! The whole story made me unsure of whether I should mistrust the potential 3rd roommate, the owner of Fast Lane, or just go along believing that everyone is honest and charitable and that there is a place in the city where welding+tuneup combos cost $50. Fin.

Todd built and maintains the site, i.e did 94% of the work. The site was inspired by a project
Strve Marsala and I did several years ago to visit every shop in the city of Chicago. Steve took notes on the shops and I took photos. There are a lot more shops in the city now! Todd also added many suburban shops. Kudos to Todd's hard work on creating this important resource.

I thought you and Todd went out and took the initial photos-- thanks for the clarification.
Sad that so many shops can't be bothered to send a damn photo.
