    Yeah, Chicago!! I’m from just south of there. When you come visit, I know there will be great places that never knew. Thanks for casting such good light on us, Chicagoians are salt of the earth people and will do anything for a neighbor, or a stranger. Happy, and safe travels to you and your wife. Hope your folks are doing well, as well as your wife’s family 🙂

How could a city of millions of people be as terrible as what the news tells you and still be a top tourist destination?

      I agree about Chicago people, especially south side. I grew up in Berwyn and then moved to Omaha. Chicago people are so much nicer and just all around decent people. There are people from all walks of life that live in peace together. Omaha has a whole bunch of low key racism. I never heard anyone say to another "speak English, this is America" until I moved to Omaha.

    Hi Mike, this is a PSA about Nini's Cafe. Although the food is good, Nini's cafe was closed in 2020 due to the owner, Juan, the person you mentioned, making racist and homophobic remarks and doubling down when people called him out for it. You can find articles about it just by googling the restaurant's name. I understand that you probably didn't know about this, but I think it's important for the audience to know whether they want to support an establishment like this.

    • @mambiashu7080

      Yes but by cancelling him and making the business shut down he is not the only one affected. His employees and his family are too. We need to use wisdom and offer gracee in this cancel culture climate. Making a bad remark is not a capital offense that should make someone loose their livelihood.

    • @Lil_lee_Dee
