  • Well, it's official. Joining an all-coloured-Windy-City-lines blitz halfway through isn't quite as satisfying as partaking in the Five Borough original. That said, it certainly holds its own unique merit. Highlights included sliding and swinging at 35th and Ashland, imbibing at the near west side's velvety Cobra Lounge, walking miles and miles in search of edibles after midnight on the brown line, and gleaning loads of information from one of the pink line's own 7-Eleven franchisees . . .

  • . . . which deserves its own bullet point. See, back in Summer 2006 7-Eleven acquired the White Hen convenience store chain, and ever since Chicago area 7-Elevens have been showing signs of WH influence, while at least one WH now flies 7-Eleven colors. While I love 7E, I also love WH and am torn by its eventual annexation. This particular franchisee, however, allayed my fears somewhat, claiming that full conversion won't happen until after the next decade (phew) and eventual once-WH-now-7E stores will "keep everything good about White Hen, except for the soup which is, unfortunately, not profitable." You heard it here first.
