CHICAGO (area) - Watering Hole Do
 

As with any town/city (except those new sterile strip mall suburbs) there are some unique watering holes that have been around forever.

I would like to propose a monthly FT trip to discover some of these dives….. err, I mean fine establishments.

The first FT Watering Hole Do will be at:

Meiers Tavern
235 E Lake Ave
Glenview, IL
(847) 724-0477

Date: Tuesday November 9, 2004
Time: TBD (evening)

History and photo of Meiers Tavern in Glenview is here (scroll down to 2nd page): http://www.glenview.il.us/pub/newsle...akeavesped.pdf

Wow, I haven't been to Meier's in years even though I drive by it every few weeks. I'm downtown in the Loop until 9pm on Tuesday nights though, so if I was able to make it out there it wouldn't be until around 9:45pm.

Great place though. Wonder if things have changed since the last time I was there -- used to be cash only, no credit cards.

Some things "never" change.....Cash only,,,,,but I'm told that "soon" the parking lot will be paved, so you won't have to navigate those lake-sized puddles that have always been part of the "charm" !! :)

Best wishes, Dave

Years? Mommy and Daddy took you? ;)

well, ****, I'm not sure. I mean, it's a nice *****g place and all, but the dumb**** of a manager kind of ruins the ambiance. :D

I'll be there...






(last time Willie, Dave, and I were there, Willie and I got in trouble with the manager because he didn't like our language....)

I always suspected Willie had a dirty mouth! :p

****ing right he didn't, what was his ****ing problem anyway? :mad:

I guess if we have to drink until 10 to see that mother****er Blort show up it wouldn't be the worst thing. Hope he brings his fake ID to get in.





..
;) :D

****ing A right! Do city FT'ers make it out this far?

If ALL the suburbanites in attendance would agree to raise a glass to President Elect Kerry, I might consider it! :cool:

Actually, I'll be willing to drive any city FTers that want to attend. The Pilot will hold four guests comfortably, six if you are very friendly - but not too friendly, please. :)

Just Missed you all
 

I will be in the NW burbs just a few days later, for my Dad's b-day and some other happenings. Sorry to miss you all by just a couple of days.

So? What's it to you!? :D

IF I raise it......
do I get to throw it at him?? ;)

Dave

yeah it is too bad. Last time I saw you we were having margaritas with the mayor of Des Plaines! :)
