The Garage Bar & Sandwiches

Today was definitely a day for my owner to meet with friends.  He met another friend at a bar called The Garage.

Note, aside from my very first post, this is my first post from Chicago - even though I live here!  (this was in the Norwood Park neighborhood)

Bar #1 for Ollie!

Negra Modelo

Potawatomi Bingo Casino

My owner and one of his friends visited The Potawatomi Bingo Casino.  My owner didn't do any gambling, but I'm not really sure what that means.  There were a lot of noises and beeping - and it smelled like smoke.

we ate at a place called Taco del Fuego! 

this is the best shot of the casino we could get :|

Portillo's - Summit

This time, instead of eating at Portillo's, we ate at Barnelli's.  It's the same restaurant, in the same building - but some Portillo's also have a Barnelli's... usually at Barnelli's you can get salads and pasta and maybe pizza.  We got a BBQ chicken salad.  Parking was fairly packed here.

Portillo's #4 for Ollie!

can you see the sprinkler hanging under the truck? 

Hinsdale Oasis

Another oasis!  This time in Hinsdale

Oasis #3 for Ollie!

Lincolnshire 21 + IMAX

Another movie!  This time it was actually two different movies, a short called Tangled Ever After and a feature called Beauty and the Beast.  These were animated and in 3D.  My owner tells me that B&B is a re-release.  I have to admit, I had to stifle a tear or two ... no more TP on my roll to dab at the eyes.  We were in auditorium #19

Movie #3 for Ollie!

Starbucks - Buffalo Grove

Ugh - started out in the bathroom before... I guess being a TP roll, the sight didn't bother me, but knowing that it was a public restroom, I still think people should have the common courtesy to flush before they leave the restroom.

Anyway, that said, the staff was friendly and gave some free pastry samples.  My owner read more from 11/22/63.

Starbucks #8 for Ollie!
