Chainlinkers: 10% off your tab at Uncommon Ground

Just a reminder that the greenest restaurant in the USA will treat you to a discount when you ride your bike to either of their locations. Uncommon Ground is in Wrigleyville and Edgewater.

Glenwood and Devon is so Rogers Park. :)

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.....Glenwood on the north side of Devon is so Rogers Park, but Glenwood on the South side of Devon (where Uncommon Ground is located) is so EDGEWATER.

As you drive east on Devon from Ridge, the sign in front of the railroad tracks even indicates that Rogers Park is on the north side of Devon and Edgewater is on the south side of Devon.

The Edgewater Community Counsel and Edgewater Development Corporation used to exclude the north side of Devon from their service area because it was in Rogers Park, but agreed agreed to extend their area to include the north side of Devon at the urging of local neighbors and the Alderman's office. They were both very instrumental in assisting Uncommon Ground to find and establish their Edgewater location on the southwest corner of Glenwood and Devon.

If you don't believe me, check Wikipedia and then confirm it with Lee Diamond (sorry to bring you into this dispute Lee). Wikipedia says, "Edgewater is a lakefront community area in the North Side of the city of Chicago, Illinois seven miles north of the Loop. As one of Chicago’s 77 official community areas, Edgewater is bounded by Foster Avenue on the south,Devon Avenue on the north, Ravenswood Avenue on the west, and Lake Michigan on the east.^[1]"The footnote references the official city of chicago edgewater neighborhood map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewater,_Chicago#cite_note-0

Now that that is settled, it doesn't really matter. Uncommon Ground is awesome. Kudos to them if it is true for offering us sustainable-living-cycling-Chainlink member-types a discount regardless of whether we live in Edgewater, Rogers Park or somewhere else. : ) No mention of the discount on their web site.
