You might get 2 dogs for that, but if you want one of them new fangled margaritas from their new outdoor machine, I think it's $8.50.

Seriously though, everything looks great..Turf course looks about 8 inches deep already

Got to make it up for a weekend this season. I love downtown, the ease of the burbs and my wife has a keen interest in the lasagna at Geno's East. Maybe we could parlay the trip when the Cards are in town to play the Cubbies?

They had a SERIOUS hotdog there, a legitmate footlog on a toasted bun that was damn good, only had it once last year, if I recall, the only place that had it was that first food stop on the grandstand side.....

I like this idea, at least they continue to improve the equipment and technology.

other changes to the wagering menu include:

rolling doubles for the whole card.

superfecta carryover. (how can it carryover with dime supers?)

High 5 (coming later in the meet.)

Pick 6 going to $1 minimum.

They had something similar years ago at The Mudbug on Weed Street. You put money into an account there and you bet on a hand held betting machine. The big problem is you couldnt cancel wagers if you made a mistake. Can be dangerous if you aren't careful.

Is there such a thing as a legitimate gay bar? Do they have to be certified or something?
