Deepdish and Guitars

 Chicago, IL

Playing games

Hanging with Jeff

Today was a full day with our friend Jeff who is visiting.  He flew out to see Chicago with us.  He had 2 checklist items, eat deep dish pizza and go to a specific guitar store so that's what we did and it was really fun.

This was our first time at Paulina Station and there was cool art there.

The pizza place was chosen both for its proximity to the guitar store and the quality of the pizza.

We opted for the slices that were already made.  A freshly made pizza would have been 45 minutes.

The chosen guitar store was Chicago Music Exchange.

Somewhat pricey vintage guitars.

All of the Base Guitars were in The Basement.  Makes sense!

Anyone for a Moog?

After pizza and guitars we decided to go to Dovetail brewing and have a beer and bring a card game that Jeff brought.  On Wednesdays you get 15% off your bill at Dovetail if you bring a game or a hobby.  Today was Tuesday...  

Later in the day we headed back to Jeff's hotel to check it out.  It's a converted Athletic Association.  It leans into sports and games and seems pretty cool.  It's also in a great location.

We were all pretty tired so we called it an early day to save energy for tomorrow.  If you missed Ticking More Chicago Checklist Items, check it out.  We rode the People Mover at Chicago O'Hare Airport.
