At least there was the Centennial Fountain up Michigan Avenue.

Is the Disney Quest still there or is it gone? I thought I heard it was closed. It doesn't seem like it was there that long.

LMAO! Those are great. I'm not from Chicago, but I've lived in Milwaukee my whole life and a lot of those things we say here too.

The Empire commercials aren't just in Chicago- they're everywhere!

Ahh yes.

Field's, The Lake, Downtown, Boystown, Braht, Goes, Guys, Pop, Sliders, The Taste, Gym shoes..

Definitely use all of those.

They closed it a long time ago. I loved that place.

Chicago is my favorite place in the world.

I think so, something like that. It was so popular when it first got there. When I went, the line to get in was wrapped around the block. And then people just stopped going.

I remember my mom went there one year. I never went though. I guess there is still one in Florida.

"Da Bears". . ."Da Sox". . ."Da Mare". . . . very close to the Brooklyn phrase for the long-departed Dodgers. . . "da bums."

That flat Midwestern accent is all over the heartland. I once heard Michael Moore (of Flint, MI) refer to Wisconsin's long-serving governor as "Tammy Tampson!"
