<p>That clinic is an all-timer of nauseating toe conditions, that's for sure. I have nightmares about the giant photos.</p>

<p>They have two doors. The lesser one is on Archer. The main one is on Ashland. The bartender, Junior, was very pleasant when a friend of mine and I stopped by for the first time recently. Prices are reasonable, with a tap microbrew running about $5. Some specials, too. </p>

<p>I was kinda hoping they took over the gross foot clinic while I wasn't looking and de-grossified it. Or just burned it to the ground. That'd probably be more sanitary.</p>

<p>yes, exactly. given how much commercial vacancy we have along archer, it's kind of hilarious how much they cram into that tiny corner - it's between the carwash and the gross-foot-clinic (of course it is!!!)</p>

<p>and - likewise - there's a new bar that just opened at Ashland & Archer - One City Tap - that has a decent tap list - if you're passing by after work sometime we can buy you a beer and commiserate about road surfaces :) </p>

<p>They were out repainting the lines this morning between Kedzie & Drake. The street's still a complete disaster. Seems like a waste of time to restripe it.<br/><br/>Let me know when you guys are out that way and I'll give you the "grand" tour. :P</p>

<p>wow. that sucks. I wonder if the street contractors think it's less important to do their best work on the edges because cars don't travel there? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Would be great if part of our bike-friendly-City status included construction review/inspections for bike safety - so - if there was construction and bike routes or lanes were impacted , the construction plan rerouted or at least re-signed the bike lanes - and when construction was done - the bike lanes were inspected at even higher…</p>

<p>in any case, be careful out there. and contact IDOT! they should at least know this stuff!
