The Grafton

There is a meter lot across the street, but there is also plenty of metered street parking on Lincoln (sadly, you now have to feed the meters on Sunday). Free parking is available on side streets and on Lincoln between Montrose and Sunnyside. If you’re coming via public transportation, the closest stop is Western on the Brown Line. Remember to buy lots of food and drink!

by Peter Heltzer
in Ides
If you’ve made it past the title of this post, you’re probably wondering what the ides of Phandemonium are. Well we’re not exactly ready to tell you just yet, but we’re plotting something. It might be fun, for at least some of you. It might even be something social. Potentially no cost to you, unless you choose to incur cost. No need to order now, not As Seen on TV. Just watch this space for more information.
