It's not false.  The net outflow of profit goes out of state, but not
the tax revenue.  At any rate, a gambler is going to spend his money
on gambling and not on local business.  The only difference is the
money will go to the casino owners instead of a bookie.

Take a look around Chicago, 1 block from the stadium.  The stadium didn't
make the neighborhood.  The casinos won't change the neighborhood either.

It looks like there may be a problem with lost Email...

I've gotten reports of mail being lost between here and Infoplus, and some of
the people I've been communicating with on the larger net as a whole have been
telling me that occasionally "meltdown.chi.il.us" is not being recognised as a
valid address!

As soon as I get some more specifics, I'll forward them on.  Any idea as to
what's been happening, or when it might be fixed?  (I strongly suspect that
there is mail that has been lost since the problem with not finding "meltdown"
as a valid address, corrected itself.)

(I'm posting this message as well as sending it out via Email to make sure that
someone out there in the greater Chicagoland area is aware of the problem..)

Your initial assumption is false.  70-80% of the gambling would be done
by Chicago residents.  That's a net outflow of money to out-of-state

My two favorites in Chinatown are King Wah and the one just to the north of
it (with the entrance up the long long staircase).  The name of the second
place escapes me.  They're both on the east side of the north-south street
that starts across Cermak from Three Happiness.  (No, I don't remember the
name of that street either.)  Excellent all around.  I especially recommend
the Orange-flavored Beef at King Wah.

For those of you way out west in the Batavia area, there is a *great* place
on Main Street just west of the river (south side of the street) called East
China Inn.  The hot and sour soup is superb, the pot stickers are great. 
Lunch specials include the soup, and go for $3.55-ish.

Bit of a drive for those of you stuck in the city, though...

Evergreen on Wentworth is not only my favorite Chinese restaurant, but 
my favorite overall.  Crispy duck with taro (sp), shrimp in-shell,
soft shell crab, shreaded chicken are all very good.  They have a
very authentic menu with several great casseroles (such as fish maw,
sea food, beef, etc.).  We've had excellent service nearly every time
we've gone.  I've been to most of the restaurants in south Chinatown
over the years, but I keep going back to Evergreen.

There was a place called the Great Wall (sic) on Leland.
The food was fine but the atmosphere was authentic. You
see Cambodians do not run restaurants in Cambodia, they
let the Cantonese do it. So the service had an at-home
atmosphere, meaning the family watched TV while you waited.
A simple meal took us about 3 hours.

The translation of the menu was quaint. Fortunately I read
and speak Khmer so I managed to decipher it. Frogs legs 
turned out to be eel. Etc.

I am not sure whether it is still there, but if you adventurous,.
patient, and have lots of time, you might try it. the only
truly native dish I noticed was kuy tiew, which is a noodle
dish. 

I am moving to the SF area in a month, and will enjoy
the many fine Cambodian places there. For now, Chicago
is still deficient in this cuisine.

Dear Netters:

I am seeking copies of any and all of innagurial night celebrations.

I set my vcr to record and it failed to do so (damned VCR plus got knocked over
by my cats :-(.)

If anyone taped any of it, or all of it (especially, but not limited
to,  the ones where Bill played sax) I would be very grateful for VHS
copies.  

I will either send you a blank tape(s) and postage, if you  have the
facilities to copy, or I will gladly copy your original (if you want
to trust me with it) and pay for postage and handling both ways.  I
will even throw in a hi-grade blank for your trouble, or equivalent
cash.

If you live near Chicago, I will pick it up.

I am very anxious to have as much of this as I can get my hands on.  I
am very sad to have missed it, but I was working and only saw snippets
on the news.

Please send me e-mail as to what you have on tape and how you would
like to work the transfer.  I am open to discussion on terms.

Please respond.

Bill

To be honest with you, besides Billy playing the sax, it was pretty
boring.

The cool stuff was the parade and things.  If you saw the parade and
the inauguration, I think you saw the best part.

Then again, I'm no Bill Clinton fan.  Regardless, it was kind of sad
seeing them drag the poor guy to 11 (I'd shoot my staff!) balls.  He
looked like he was going to drop near the end.  At least he let Chelsea
hang out at the MTV ball so she could have some fun.  That was pretty
cool I thought -- better than dragging her all over DC like he had to
do.

I dunno.  I guess I just like parades :)

I'm sure they do, now; when first I wanted to check it out, they'd recently
opened in the neighborhood, which wasn't necessarily friendly to gays.  (Still
isn't, in parts.)  My roommate and I had been out carousing, knew nothing about
the then-new club, and decided to hoof over and check it out. Not being
in the "sister fraternity" to women-who-love-women, we were encouraged not to
come in at that time.  They didn't know us, we weren't "accompanied", and
they were simply afraid we were a "coupla' good ole boys" out to harass
their customers.  (We're not, trust me.)  Since that time, they're firmly
established and most likely would have no worries; particularly if you're
accompanied.
