Re: Mega Saver (SEC 72 & Dodge Street)

I’m no fan of Meth Saver. That said, there is literally nothing that people who live around Elmwood Park (with the exception of me) would ever support. If anything gets changed, it’s a disaster to them. A developer could literally put in a business that did nothing but distribute free money and mac...

I've had good luck with T-Mobile, but I have an unobstructed line of sight to the tower. I average around 200 megabits down, sometimes 300 on stuff I use Ethernet on.

Re: Taco Bueno (NO Metro Locations)

Taqueria Tijuana on 24th and Q is pretty good too.

I preferred Bueno over the other chains. I guess opening the first store in an area where you couldn't throw a dead cat without hitting a restaurant, and the other one way the heck up North by Immanuel probably weren't good locations for success.
