With that rotation times will change again and we'll all ride to Buffalo Grove for the opening night at the Hideout Too...or maybe not. :-)

After I discovered that Elk Grove Village actually has elk and that we can ride right past their habitat, Buffalo Grove became a huge disappointment.

Some suburbs, like mine are "railroad towns". They were developed before the sprawl during the 1800s as railroad brought commuters to them. I like in "downtown" Mokena, and it's reasonably bike able. I'm within riding distance of most everything I need, and in walking distance to parks, libraries, and a few food places.

So-called "streetcar suburbs".

Why don't we 'celebrate' the opening of the Avondale Olive Garden by creating a Chainlink (Olive) Bar Night around it? Ha! We can petition for helmet hooks by the door. If enough people show up at once we can skip the nonexistent bike racks and just park in a car-parking spot.

In a recent constituent letter, Alderman Rey Colón was overly excited by the new project.

To return to smug superiority--just so long as we don't have to eat there!
