Is everything okay down there? I saw that they looted Thirsty's liquor.

There was potential for some trouble in Dekalb at Hillcrest & Annie Glidden- but I am hearing that some leadership led by a pastor settled things down thankfully. My son is living in Greek Row now and has said things are calm.

Some old guy was caught ransacking 157 E Lincoln Hwy

So, are you saying they caught Dog Fan red-handed?

I will admit that I was there, but I will NOT admit to looting. All I had on me was my trusty scraper in order to scrape up remnants of the old Grotto. So, in essence, I was cleaning the city and, at the same time, collecting souvenirs from a past life. Heck, most of the stuff I scraped up was originally from me anyway!

Moms and dads will be watching this.

Bring your kid to looting day. And the police watch, talk to like children and they wave.

Thanks social media.

Went for a run today on campus. Noticed the electronic traffic signs saying "entrance" by Huskie Stadium and what looked to be a Covid testing sight next to the Yordan center? Anyone know if that is what was set up there? Are they testing public or players?

While bringing up some Dekalb nostalgia in the Dekalb downtown area while DF tries to scrape up some if his DNA, a fond memory is drinking Michelob Dark on draft at the Candlelight Inn. I can't remember if I liked the beer or the price better because pitchers of Michelob Dark were extremely cheap at the Candlelight. If memory serves me right, pitchers were $2.00.

You are back in DeKalb? Or were just there randomly?

I live in Sycamore, but I like to run on campus. It's especially nice right now since it has a "I am Legend" feel to it.

Loved Candlelight Inn. Free pizza every hour during Monday Night Football. Cheap beer.

Tequila Roadhouse/O'Reillys - gone
Otto's and the Underground - gone

Hometown Sports
Lord Stanley's and the Annex

Tapalauluna

I was there '93-'99 (yes....I became a full-fledged doctor....or something like that...)

Of your list:

Candelight Inn - Never heard of it
Eduardo's - was there numerous times
Pizza Pro's - I think they were attached to Amnesia, had it several times
Starbusters - it was brand new and cool, then expanded and got too big for itself
Rosies - don't recall it
Tequila Roadhouse/O'Rielly's - pretty sure I pre-date this place
Otto's - literally some of my best memories...oh the stories I could tell...
Pizza Villa - every time I try to return, they aren't open yet.
Twin Tavern - yes...I think...its hazy
O'Leary's - I don't recall
Hometown Sports - I think I pre-date this establishment
Lord Stanley's/Annex - a few times (is this place still open?????)
Molly's - more times than I'd like to admit and more rail shirts than I'd like to admit
Fatty's - not until after I graduated
Tapalauluna - never heard of it.

Some places you missed out on:

The Jungle - Okay, maybe missing this isn't the worst thing
Amnesia - as bad as it was, it was a staple especially Retro 80s night
Andy's Tap - was there a few times
Fat Boys - Greek bar....kinda lame....big for their eggs and beer on Homecoming
Arcade Dreams - which for some reason we called Cream and Dream....it was okay
McCabes - I was there for the end days (a few years) and it went out with a bang

Forgive me if I'm missing someplace.
