Been reading maps and following rotes for ever, glad to join. Will look for unanswered questions about area roads,   :popcorn:

Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Ten posts in the first fifty-one minutes ... impressive.

Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

Hopefully you aren't into the theory that Illinois isn't flat or the hypotenuse...

Chicagoland?  Great! Bring me a slice of Lou Malanti's pizza!  I've had Uno's (my favorite), Gino's, and Giordano's, but yet to try Lou's.
We're so far south that we're not even considered "The South"

You're not missing anything, trust me.

We don't just have deep dish pizza. Chicago thin crust is cut in squares, and crispy.

^  I thought only New Yorkers do thin crust??  I know Detroit and Chicago styles are pan-thick with loads of filling.  Anyway my first choice is always Chicago deep dish.

Chicago has tavern style which is the thin crust. Vito and Nick's is the best thin crust in the city hands down. D'Augustinos another great parlor

Wtf Lou's is the best pizza I've ever had.
And everyone does thin crust pizza--Chicago is the only place that does any differently.  But yes Chicago also has the pub style thin crust as a regional claim to fame, in addition to the deep dish.

You obviously haven't tried anywhere out in the south suburbs, Guardi's at 167th and 80th is where it's at.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Haven't had anything out by Tinley/Orland Park in a super long time.
