Damn, places close early.
I had that pesky itch that wouldn't go away so I reluctantly jumped in the car around 8.30 and drove to Greektown. Not open, and it was only 8.45. Headed south to Archer and Halsted; not open. Relax was open, but drove right past as my experiences there haven't been good.
Continued westward and noticed a couple of places that I've yet to visit (China and Hong Kong, I believe), but decided that Latina would be the preference. I continued west toward the BK, but couldn't find the place. Headed to Cermak west of Cali and they were closed. WTF. Drove to Yin and there was a petite hottie locking up just as I pulled over. No dice.
Continued on, Tropical was closed. Desperation was setting in so I figured I'd probably have to shift my taste buds back to Chinese, but there was no parking around Bella. Headed toward Ashland around and Augusta, bingo...or so I thought. Plenty of parking, but the damn restaurant next door to my destination had outdoor seating that was packed with people. With my luck someone I know was probably sitting there, so I went home.
Did Victoria's on Lawrence bite the dust?
I was driving down Lawrence about two and a half weeks ago and noticed that the lights were out at Victoria. No signs of life at all. Happened to be driving past it again over the weekend and got a good look while waiting for the stoplight. Looks like it's closed. No note on the door that I could see. Name is still on the front of the building, the regular window signs are still up, etc, but the neon OPEN sign is dark and no lights on inside. Does anybody know what the deal is? Feel free to PM if you want.
