As to Schmeissing's, it appears to have closed. But, I will be trying the place on Southport mentioned above shortly.

Thanks to all for the info. ^ Further torte and coffee suggestions solicited.
Sorry, I meant to say that Schmeissing's had closed. I got caught up in the memories of raspberry whipped cream tortes.
As to the Cub fans - I'm one of the more loyal ones. However, since 2003 expectations are that they should win. Previously, it was almost unheard of to boo one of the home team players. Now, it is much more like New York, Boston or Philadelphia.
