Slog - Comments on One of My Favorite Bars Moves Even Closer to My Front Door http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/one_of_my_favorite_bars_moves_even_close Central District News has the scoop: The Twilight Exit is on the move. They've called Madison St. home since the early aughts, creating a friendly spot for neighborhood drinks since way back when that area was still the stalking ground of many a crack addict. But their current home is slated for demolition...so they've been on the hunt for a new spot. And last night I heard from the Mayor of Miller Park that they had found one, and are preparing to take over the old La Louisiana spot on Cherry between 25th & 26th. The current plan is...

Cornball Chicken fried bacon, Schmader? Whoaaaaa, nellie (figuratively speaking...).

That sounds so positively reckless to one's heart health I'm surprised there aren't cardiologists picketing the front of that place.

Is this reproduceable at home or does one need to actually go down to this place?

The thought of hopping up on some chronic and then biting into that makes life worth living for one more day...

-scouts for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Guy (Poochy) Fieri's show) were there last week wanting to film the place.

I used to be 150ish when I worked out and could bench 225 3 years ago. Giving up the exercise without giving up the diet is calamitous.

It's the perfect food for watching McCain and Palin get their asses kicked in the debates.

They'll be going from about a half mile away from me to a mile and a half away. At that point I might as well go to pike/pine.

I suppose I can use this as an excuse to visit my CD friends.

All the black owned businesses near the twilight seem to get shut down - there goes Cherry.

To # 11 - there used to be more bars in the CD but white people moved in, were scared of black people, talked to each other, talked to people in power, got organized, and got them closed....
