Hey do we got any connections in Chicago?
« on: April 22, 2015, 06:06:04 PM »
I'll swear I flew over a White Castle on my way in last August. This year I got two hours tween flights.

And I'd kill for a couple sliders. These nukeable versions just ain't cuttin it ...?

According to the website, they have White Castles in Apple Valley and S Saint Paul, are we planning a road trip?    Better not fly with a snootfull.  They are called sliders for several reasons.

I think I can work on a plan to bring some down either Thrusday night or Friday will see how it goes.

The one in Apple Valley real close to the house.

By the way Doug looks like you are planning on coming, any plans yet any way I can help let me know.

Thanks Gregg. Once I have a room booked I can focus my attention totally on how I'm gonna pay for all this crap. Need the Ranger to get run into a couple times ...

I'll have y'all know it came down to you knuckleheads, or a new jack plate. (I don't know how better to express my love ...)

The White Castle closed 2 miles from me. It was a sad day seeing the closed sign.

Y'know I'll swear there was one in Ft Myers way back when.  But I'm told by WC they never had one there.

You flew right over the White Castle at the SE end of 31Center at MDW. The walk from the terminal to there is about a mile or a little more. I've made the walk from the terminal to a friends place south of the airport many times when I leave my car at his house for my flight out of MDW. Go for it, man!!!!
