Shortest Korean BBQ/Sushi Ride Ever at San Soo Gab San

April 11, 2013 from 7pm to 9pm
It's been too long.  In 2010 we had at least 25 people show up for BBQ.  Time to do this one again. Our next "shortest ever" ride will take us a bit farther west , this time to a wonderful Korean BBQ/Sushi resturant called San Su Gab San. At 7PM meet at my house (Hermitage/Lawrence, email/call for exact address) for some pre-dinner drinks. At 7:30 we will ride 8ish blocks to San Su Gab San at Western and Berwyn. It can't get simpler or shorter. But, if you think that is too long of a ride,…See More

I just frantically scoured Craigslist until I saw properties that met my criteria (location, type of residence, size, etc.), then had my friends and family check out the candidates until one really stood out. I didn't even see my house before I moved in. But if your friend needs advice as to what part of town to live in (or to NOT live in!), I'd be more than willing to help!

Let me know where you found it. I have an idea I want to use it for.
