AMC South Barrington 30

Wow, this cinema has 30 screens.  It also still has some that play 35mm film - my owner liked this, I had never seen anything 35mm before, so it didn't really matter to me.  We saw Casa de mi Padre, which was in Spanish, for the most part.  This is the first time I've seen a movie in the same auditorium number as I'd seen a previous movie (the last movie I saw, 21 Jump Street, was in auditorium 9 as well)

Movie #7 for Ollie!

AMC - Streets of Woodfield

AMC Streets of Woodfield theatres.  We saw 21 Jump Street, and this is the first time I've seen a movie where the star was from another movie I'd seen - Channing Tatum.  My owner would like to apologize to anybody that sat near him during the movie, as he got a fit of the coughs, which must've been annoying.

Movie #6 for Ollie!

that guy looks relaxed (it was a commercial, not from 21 Jump Street)

Starbucks - North Park

This Starbucks is in the North Park neighborhood of Chicago - right across the street from North Park University.  My owner did his usual - laptop & Vivaldi's Virgins (this is the last entry for that book, however).

Starbucks #14 for Ollie!

East Dundee IL - Serial Killer?

So, we saw this odd bit of "found art" on the side of the road.  Somebody put up a sign saying s/he wants to buy "your" home.  Another person put up a sign questioning whether that person is a serial killer.  Or maybe it was the same person, just to get attention?

not quite as good a picture as the last one - but I hopped into it, so that's why I included it

Portillo's - Niles, IL

Portillo's.  This one is in Niles, IL.  This time we had hot dogs!  It was St. Patrick's Day.  It was decorated in bootleggers style once again.  Not much else to say about this one.

Portillo's #9 for Ollie!

Look, an airplane!

Starbucks - Northfield, IL

Another Starbucks.  My owner worked on his laptop and read Vivaldi's Virgins while here - between his two jobs.

Starbucks #13 for Ollie!

Sushi & pub crawl - The Glen Town Center

It started out with sushi at Ra, they were having happy hour too, I had my first cosmo.  Then we tried out Yard House, but it was too expensive, so we went to El Jardin instead, and had a margarita.  The Glen Town Center pub crawl. :)

I've got my bo!

Caribou Coffee - Libertyville

I like Caribou Coffee shops.  This one is in Libertyville, right next to the train stop.  Which is interesting because the one in Northbrook and the one in Glenview are both quite close to train stops too.

Caribou #3 for Ollie!

O'Hare International Airport - ORD

My owner went to O'Hare Airport to pick up his friend - and he brought me along.  I only got to see around Terminal 5 (this is the international terminal), but it was great to see all the travelers arriving.  It was raining when we got there, but stopped so that I could get a look at all the flags outside.  I like flags, have I told you that before?

Airport #1 for Ollie - hopefully not the last!

Starbucks - Niles, IL

Starbucks once again.  There was a fairly high proportion of people here working on laptops (my owner included).  Not that many people, maybe about six, but four of them were on laptops.

Starbucks #12 for Ollie!

peek-a-boo

Five Guys - Glenview, IL

Burgers & more burgers!  Five Guys in Glenview - we had a cheesburger with BBQ sauce.  There was also the Coke Freestyle machine here where you can pretty much mix all sorts of different flavors together.  I left a "calling card" on the cork board where others drew pictures and whatnot.

Hmmmm... I've got an idea!

Ollie was here - 3-11-12!

Portillo's - Streamwood

Another Portillo's.  This time it was the pepper and egg sandwich.  Also, this one is decorated in '50s style, rather than the bootlegging style that so many other Portillo's have.  We got yelled at for taking pictures, I'm not sure why.

This is the picture we got yelled at for taking... :|

Portillos #8 for Ollie!

AMC Machesney Park

Another movie!  This one is called The Vow and it's about amnesia.  It also takes place in Chicago, yay!  My owner and I were the only two people in the entire auditorium for this movie.  There was a red band trailer too, my owner says that that's unusual for a PG-13 movie.


Movie #5 for Ollie!
