I LOVE:
… the Welles Park tot swim on Saturday mornings. After a week of scolding my toddlers for splashing too much in the tub, it’s a joy to bring them somewhere where they can flap their arms endlessly.
— Lou Carlozo, editor
… Pancho Pistolas in Bridgeport. Their steak fajitas come hot and sizzling on the plate right to your table and oh so yummy!!
— Sharon M. Paa, Chicago
… servers who want to share their excitement or, at the very least, want to get me excited, about the meal that is to come.
— Bill Daley, food and wine reporter
I HATE:
…whiners who move into a neighborhood because it’s s-o-o nice, then change the good things about it. Like Lounge Ax, Blommer’s chocolates and the bells at St. John Cantius.
–Brian Oelberg, Chicago
… standing passengers on CTA buses who don’t know how to move to the back of the empty bus when others are trying to board.
— Jodie Sternberg, Chicago
… people who drive in the rain with wipers on and headlights off.
— Kate Collimore, Chicago
… restaurants who train their servers to go through the whole water up-selling spiel–“Will that be Vittel, Evian, Fiji, San Pelligrino, Perrier … blah blah blah”–and then make you feel like a cheapo for preferring tap water.
— Monica Eng, reporter
