Yes, good episode.  Ira Glass for mayor!

I'm kinda against moving to the Golden Apple.  We get a lot of people who
come from outside Chicago, and I think that trying to get to Lakeview
would be hard.  Also, parking there does suck.

As for Evanston, 1.3 miles from the Purple line is hard.

Here are my suggestions:

1.  Leona's on Elston.  Plenty of parking; easy walk from either Irving
Park bus or Addison blue line stop.  About 1 mile from the highway. 
Serves drinks, not smokey.  Open til 10:30.

2.  A Golden Nugget.  There are Nugs at (Diversey and Western) and
(Pulaski and Diversey).  Plenty of room, open 24 hours.  No Wi-Fi and no
beer.  Easy to get to.

3.  Give Victoria's another shot.  Tell them that if they don't stay open
till 10pm we're going to find someplace else.  We've been regulars and
have provided them with a lot of business.  2 nights a month they can
probably afford the extra 15 - 20 min.
