Does anybody know if at Ambria, the staff lines up as you leave for tipping? I
know that at some places of this caliber this is the case. I had plenty of
friendly people offer me advice on this place, so I hope somebody will be nice
enough to drop me a line. Tks.

I'll second that.  I've eaten at Calo and it's pretty good.

Actually, one of the better Italian restaurants I've been to in a while
has been The Olive Garden (believe it or not).  It's moderately priced.
$50 for the girlfriend and me, and $13 of it was for a bottle of wine,
and another $7 on liquor, so you could get out of there for about $15
per person if you really wanted to.

For a chain restaurant they do a pretty good job, and the food is
pretty authentic -- it's not quite what Grandma Giliberto used to make,
but it's better than most places (well, I can't talk about Northern
cuisine -- you'd never see alfredo sauce in my house!).

The most important thing, for any Italian restaraunt, you never leave
hungry.  I take home a doggy bag and still don't eat breakfast or lunch
the next day.

I would regurgitate in each waiting staff-member's beak as I walked out.   
If they are going to act like hungry little birds, then they should be

Sure. 
1) Get in car and start engine.
2) Drive to destination, obeying relevant traffic laws.
3) Park car, turn off engine.
4) Put keys in pocket, lock doors.
5) Exit car and enter restaurant.

Calo Restaurant at 5343 N. Clark (271-7725) is a good value for the 
money.  For a real classy joint, I'll have to defer to the judgement

of the master of Italian cooking, Chris Valas.  He known all the

I have a Blond Oak Scandanavian Design folding desk for sale.
Originally $1,500, will sell for $600 OBO.

This desk is the same concept as the old Wooten desks.
It is approx 4 1/2 feet high and
3 feet wide when closed, 6 feet wide when open.
It has many cubby holes, shelves, slots and whatnot.
It is a modern, sleek Scandanavian Design.
It opens into a nice working office;
it closes into a big blond oak box  -- hiding all those papers.

This is great for a paper home office;
I think it is inappropriate as a computer workstation.

Viewing at my house, north side of Chicago (almost Evanston)

This is getting off the subject, but isn't this sort of covenant illegal
on the grounds that it, in effect, discourages non-Christians from
purchasing a home there?

Try Lenertz Av. in Aurora, although you may have to wait till next year.
It's a biblical-Char. Brown theme.   about 2 blocks long.  Run by the
local homeowners association.  If you want to buy a house in the assoc.
you *MUST* participate.

88W to Farnsworth South (Aurora exit)
Farnsworth to Sheffer
Right (west) on Sheffer to Sheridan St.
Left (south) in Sheridan to Lenertz Av.
Left (east) in Lenertz.

It may not start at this point, but if its still up, there *WILL* be cars.
Be sure to turn off headlights for other peoples enjoyment of the decorations.

My opinions are my own, and MOST of them don't mean a thing !

If you're out in the lake Zurich area -

Just north of the intersection of 12 & 22 is the Mayor's house (there's
a distinct glow to the East).

Proceed North on 12 about a mile. You will pass a K-Mart. At the next
controlled intersection beyond is a Hackney's - then on the right a bit
beyond that is a drive-in restaurant.

Turn Right and head towards the glow ...  8-)
