    This is really helpful as I always forget a few things and LOVE coffee!!! Thanks and what a surprise to see my photo here too…glad you could make use of it! There were about 30 of these growing down one of the paths at Lincoln Park, they are stropharia sp. and I think they are one of the more elegant fungi. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. m-

    Anyone know the schedule at Allstar Fitness? Their website shows normal classes today but I have a hunch it’s wrong. Happy Thanksgiving!

      Kim, we do have a line for that one on the Holidays page, 8-4 according to an intrepid reader who checked … TR

    Thanks for keeping us informed, WSB. Time for a coffe run.

    Red Cup Espresso made a last-minute call to not be open on Thanksgiving; they’re giving their employees a well-deserved full day off. :-)

    Edit: Thiftway’s Espresso Bar is open till 4 p.m.
