Information on T-Shirt Deli |
At the T-Shirt Deli in Bucktown you can get a made-to-order T-shirt with everything from glittery Marilyn to Peaches to sayings like "Video Killed the Radio Star" or "I Love Your Wife," with weekly specials that are an ironic take on the headlines! T-shirts are sweatshop-free American Apparel-very hip-and there are baby T's too with sayings like "Punk Ass" and "What Would Baby Jesus Do?" Tees run from $12 for basic to $24 for long-sleeve, then it's $9 for the decal; letters are $1 each. And, every purchase comes wrapped up with a bag of chips!

Information on Cozy Noodles and Rice |
Not sure what to do with your collection of toys and Pez dispensers? Take a cue from Cozy Noodles and Rice restaurant and glue it to your bathroom walls! Why Pez dispensers? Owner Tee Meunprasittiveg says he just wanted the bathrooms to stand out. Indeed: Nearly 1,000 dispensers and one eerily large Barbie decorate the Wrigleyville spot's women's room, while the walls in the men's room are plastered with more than 2,000 toys from fast-food meals!

Information on Illinois Lois Club |
We joined 93 Loises at the 10th Anniversary Illinois Lois Club Luncheon at Pheasant Run in St. Charles. It's easy to remember names, because the Lois Club has one requirement-simply be named Lois! Believe or not, this Lois Club is actually part of an international organization! Given the popularity of the name during the WWII generation, the members' average age is rising, so the Loises are campaigning to bring their beloved name back into vogue. They could be succeeding, because one baby Lois made an appearance at the luncheon!
