What is the President of Afghanistan doing in Chicago? |
|
I was walking down the street near the Chicago Board of Trade/Chicago Stock Exchange and noticed a ton of cops and secret service vehicles.
Someone said it was the president of Afghanistan. What is he doing at the Chicago Board of Trade/Chicago Mercantile Exchange??

8. I would start at "Boston's Italian Beef" at Grand and Chicago |
|
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 03:00 PM by AngryAmish
Get the combo beef and sausage - and make sure they dip it. Then try to hustle over to Wrigley for the Cubs v. Cards (slapping the taste out of the mouths of the Deadbirds BTW). Get a few cold ones after the game, maybe head to Guthries.
Get some Mexican food for dinner, maybe Ixtapapulco (Sp?) on Milwaukee. Then go home.

It should be a wonderful harvest and Chicago has junkies just waiting for a heroin fix.
