NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[d.kaufman]

The rumor mill has the KFC's closing Friday like Pozza Hut (same owner). I'm particularly going to avoid eating there with employees knowing their getting the axe.

Wonder if they also own Taco Bell too.

Haven't eaten there in a few years. Way to many bad experiences, at least with the one on rt6 in hobart. Rather get stracks chicken at 1/4 the cost on top of it.

There are very few good KFC's. The one on 169th in Hammond is terrible and so is the one on Ridge in
Griffith. The one on Ridge in Munster is just o.k. Let the market decide which apparently it
already has.
If I get chicken it's from Strack's.

 

[Max Volume]

Incorrect!
Fund the hello kitty death star is the ONLY acceptable answer.

Not really. I vote for SMOD. Sweet meteor of death.

The one on ridge (Griffith) runs out of chicken often according to jedi bil.

The only KFC that I have found to be consistently good is the Lowell one. I ate there occasionally when I was working in Lowell. But that was 6-7 years ago. The Crown Point one is meh. Not really bad, but not great either.

So the nwi pizza huts won't be reopening like ever?

Don't miss the pizza just find it sad they will be gone.

Ironically their stores still have lights on at night.

We need more fireworks stores.

Face it.
NWI is filled with people that work in Illinois, but live here, because it's cheaper, but then can't make the connection.

Must have been a good show.

??? Make what connection

??? Make what connection

That they live in Indiana because it is cheaper, but then they vote Illinois style.
Not realizing, they are trying to "Illinois" my Indiana.


Didn't figure out I had to spell it out.
But... since you work in Illinois, I guess some brain rot is inevitable.

FWIW, your favorite rural dwelling NWI curmudgeon, and Olympic style Fencing Coach is entering busy season for fencing coaching.

Purdue University, West Lafayette (main campus) starts fencing practices TONIGHT. 3 days a week.

The high school season also starts practice, but not until September.

The competition season starts is starting now for USA Fencing events. I'll mostly attend Regionals and skip Nationals this season. The collegiate coaching will keep me too busy to attention nationals.

I don't think that is really true. When you are there everything is more expensive. It is really obvious. One thing that amazed me was when Walmart had their little store downtown. It actually had the same prices for stuff as the one in Valpo. It was far less expensive than anything around it.

Even the people that live there know it is cheaper here.

When you get a pair of sunglasses, you don't want to break them.
Us old farts get attached to our accessories.
