From the Trib:

Through July 31; free admission. Kwik-E-Mart (nee 7-Eleven), 6754 W. 63rd St.; www.7-11Simpsons.com or www.seeyellow.com. Just in time for "The Simpsons Movie" (opening July 27), 7-Eleven will turn 12 of its stores in the U.S. and Canada into Apu's Kwik-E-Mart — one of them in Chicago. All 7-Eleven locations will carry limited numbers of products made famous by "The Simpsons," including the doughnuts (pink with sprinkles) featured on the movie poster, KrustyO's cereal, Buzz Cola, Squishee frozen drinks and a special edition (No. 711) of the "Radioactive Man" comic book. Life-size "citizens of Springfield" also will visit the stores.

Oops.

6754 W. 63rd Street. Which I don't think is Oak Park. Looks like it's out past Midway.

I meant Oak Park Ave. Which from Google maps of the above address seems to be right: [link]

Thanks.

But I don't get that far South in Chicago that often.

Ooh - I get to go home now!

For those of you keeping score at home, cheesecake slice #2 has been eated. Nom nom nom!

Shrift, I think I might suggest one of those fairly affordable 4 place-setting sets from a department store, like this or this. It'd help keep them from having to eat off paper plates at home until they get around to replacing everything.

And here I am cheesecakeless! ::sobs::

I'll be heading out of here in about 15 minutes, going home for a quick dinner and changing my shoes and feeding the cat, and then over to B&N for my first real day of working. On my feet for four hours--um, yay? Oh, well, at least the first paycheck should be on the 13th...

Psssst....Gloomcookie...this is your conscience speaking...it's far too nice out to work from home. Screw work! Go find some friend who happens to be on summer vacation and come out and plaaaaay...She will feed you healthy snacks and drag you along on her shopping expeditions...
