Other than the Near North Side/Rush Street and possibly Charlie Trotter's I see
nothing at all to like about the Western Mistake On The Lake. St. Louis, OTOH,
is near (for me), has The "Hill" (aka Italian Town), and several good Chinese
and Thai restaurants. Not to mention a pretty good produce market - not Pike
Place but then it's not Seattle. And it's also where my Asian market wound up
after the big winds ripped through Springfield.

I probably could. But, whereas the pit bull was actively aggressive and a
threat to life and limb (literally), this tired old trout is only (probably) a
threat to herself. I expect I shall read in the paper of a "tragic fire" after
she went to sleep whilst smoking a tobacco cigarette - or kicked over a candle
in a drunken/drugged stupor. All in due course. Without my, or Dennis'
intervention.
