Starbucks 72&58

This Starbucks is also in Schaumburg, but it is not Streets of Woodfield.  This one is near where Higgins (72) and Golf (58) intersect.

Starbucks #4 for Ollie!

Another '50s style Portillo's - Portillo's #2 for Ollie!

McDonald's Beloit, WI

I made it to my second state - Wisconsin.  This time at a McDonald's for coffee, rather than Starbucks.  I didn't realize there were other places for coffee.

Now I want to visit more states.  Which one do you think I should visit next?

State #2 for Ollie!

Starbucks Vernon Hills

I was starting to get all beat up being carried around by my owner.  So I asked for something to ride in.  He got a new case for me (you can see it in one of the pictures below).  What do you think?

This was the Starbucks on the corner of 45 and Milwaukee in Vernon Hills, IL.  There was an annoying middle-aged man trying to sweet talk the young barista.  Otherwise, it was a perfectly fine evening.

(see me peeking?) 





Starbucks #3 for Ollie!

The Glen 10 Theatres

Wow, I saw a movie.  I've never seen a movie before.  This one was called "Contraband" and there were boats and traveling and Kate Beckinsale.  I want to see more movies.  In fact, like I said about traveling, I also want to become the empty TP roll that has seen the most movies ever!

Movie #1 for Ollie!



(that's my owner's hand, I couldn't see from where I was) 




Starbucks Glenview, IL

Another Starbucks for coffee.  Ok, I'm starting to get this.  This Starbucks is much smaller than the Streets of Woodfield one, so I can concentrate a bit more.  My owner is reading, I can look around a bit.  It's pretty cold today.

Starbucks #2 for Ollie!

Portillo's - Elk Grove Village

Food!

Food smells good!  My owner claims we can't go for any sort of "real" travel any time soon, so he's going to bring me to a bunch of different Portillo's restaurants as he can.  Portillo's are all around Chicagoland, but not too many other places.  The first one I saw was in Elk Grove Village, IL.  Oh man, the smells are amazing.  Hamburgers, hot dogs.  All the decorations were from the '50s and '60s.
