Anyone ever been to the Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield? It looks like a place I would want to check out but I'd have to take Metra to get out there. Worth the trip?

I need to take my son there, but it definitely looks worth it. One of the local news stations was there in the morning and it looked really good.

All the games are free play, it's $20 to get in and you can play whatever you want.
edit: I only discovered it because I was researching the unreleased Beavis and Butt-Head arcade game and it turns out Galloping Ghost bought one of the prototypes that were made.

Saw that... My son is in a major Mario phase right now, and they have a ton of the old Nintendo games. He'd be in heaven.

Well, I graduated undergrad today! Spent most of the last week drunk/hungover and am now gonna need to swear off alcohol for at least a month to undo the damage. Still tho - a very fun week. Got three days left in Chicago before relocating over to New York. Hope to be back and meet a good chunk of y'all at Lolla!

Owners of Logan Square’s shuttered but historic Congress Theater got the go-ahead Tuesday for a $69.2 million renovation that will restore live music to a nearly century-old building where Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis once played.
With help from a $9.6 million city subsidy, developer Michael Moyer hopes to host up to 125 live music shows a year at the renovated 4,900 seat theater.
That would happen after his investment group completes a redevelopment plan at the venue, 2135 N. Milwaukee, that includes a 30-room boutique hotel, 16,000 square feet of ground floor retail and restoration of 14 now-vacant apartments that will remain affordable after the renovation.
The project also includes a 100 unit residential building adjacent to the Congress Theater with at least 30 percent of the units earmarked for affordable housing.
The plan unanimously approved by the Community Development Commission calls for the long-awaited project to be financed, in part, by a $9.6 million subsidy generated by the surrounding Fullerton-Milwaukee tax-increment-financing (TIF) district. Another $800,000 TIF subsidy will be earmarked for the residential building.
The Congress was built in 1926 — in the Classical Revival and Italian Renaissance style — and originally operated as an ornate movie theater.
Moyer served as managing member of PalMet Venture LLC, which was established to redevelop the $120 million historic mixed-use block adjacent to City Hall that included the renovation of the Cadillac Palace theater and the Hotel Allegro.
Tuesday’s vote marked a major turnaround for the Logan Square theater where Berry and Lewis once strutted their stuff.
Built during the 1920s, the Congress was designated in 2002 as a Chicago landmark and more recently earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.chicago.suntimes.com/business/congress-theater-69-2-million-renovation-9-6-million-city-subsidy-logan-square-michael-moyer-eddie-carranza/

It's going to be a rough year in Colorado with how dry it's been - crazy that there's already this large of a fire this early in the year.

Jesus. My grandparents live in Colorado Springs and have had to evacuate a couple of times. Thankfully they no longer live in the woods so it’s not nearly as much of a concern anymore. I can’t imagine having to decide what’s important to me and if it fits in my car all in a matter of hours.

One of my best friends bought a condo in Silverthorne (where that fire is) last year. He's in Seattle for a conference right now and is absolutely losing his mind not knowing what the state of his place is. I don't think the fire got to his place but his neighbors told him to expect to have to lose everything to smoke damage.

Cousins just moved to Firestone. Should I be worried about them?

Firestone is nowhere near Durango.
It's about an 8 hour drive from the fire. I don't think Firestone is near any National Forest boundaries either.
