Atmosphere... ...Less then. Its true, all Jimmy John's like most fast food(ish) franchises are designed for the sell and scoot. It just seemed that the one on Madison Street was noticeably more so. Not a quibble, just an observation. After all it is what it is and being so it worked well for us.
As for planning for summer, the mental cogs are in motion. On the way to transit from Taylor's apartment complex with Deb I once again brought up the topic of my favorite Chicago street fair, a.k.a:
The Chicago Tribune Printers Row Book Fair (June 6-7, 2009 from 10am to 6pm)

If you've never been, you got to go. If you have been then you're already planning to be there. So my thought is, why not make it the focus of another MobleRead event. A mingle of old and new media.
Meanwhile, we got the winter to brave and warm toasty indoor MeetUps to plan.
Speaking of locations- The Cheese Cake Factory? Oh my, would you believe I've never indulged. Though I have been to L'Appetito (
http://www.lappetito.com/ ) which is on the opposite side of the concourse many times for lunch and snack. Tasty.
