Old Man Grumbles

The big news on all the local channels: the opening of a new. . .

Hot Dog stand.

Yep, someone called "Portillo's" has opened a second store in the area.

Okay, great free advertising for the merchant, if not an outstanding public service.

Dick Portillo went to the same high school I went to. He and his wife just built a million(s) dollar Fine Arts Center at the school (Argo Community High School). Yes, I was a thespian there back in the day.

FWIW...Portillo's is pretty good. Good beef sandwiches. Although I am not sure how much the food has changed, or will change, now that he has sold the business.

Lin, plaudits to the man who contributed a major chunk of his fortune to advance the arts; and good for your school!
