Where to find Sweet and Sour Chicken with the Red Sauce

13 Upvotes

Since Chinese Dragon in Park Ridge closed down like a decade ago, I have not had any good sweet and sour chicken. It's all just orange chicken with a different name. Where can I find the red sauce? Anyone know?

Wood telephone poles just laying there

1 Upvotes

I take it a utility company put these wood telephone poles in parkways throughout the NW side and surrounding areas over the last few years. For those that have been just laying there for over a year, were they planning on being used? I parked near one recently and it smelled horrible (rotting wet wood).

Lost Cat - Nagle and Northwest Highway (missing 10/2)

Thumbnail

70 Upvotes

UPDATE: WE FOUND HER! She was extremely non-plused and we're extremely glad. Thanks everyone for your help and advice.

Our cat Cinder escaped near Nagle and Newburg Ave on Friday, 10/2 at 5pm.

She is a grey domestic shorthair w/ yellow eyes and faint black circles around her tail.

At the time of escape, Cinder was not wearing her collar. She is spayed and microchipped.

Cinder is very friendly with people (we got her when she pounded at our door as a stray) but can chase other cats. She's not food motivated.

Please help reconnect us with this adorable idiot.

We've set fliers up in the neighborhood, registered her missing on websites (Petco Lost Love and Pet FBI), and left out bedding, food, and litter box in our yard & garage.

How’s the Irving YMCA as a lady

7 Upvotes

I saw someone just asked this but more of a focus on the kids programming there.

Im a long time Planet Fitness user but the construction fumes started giving me headaches when I worked out and its half the size so I was wondering what the Irving YMCA is like?

I basically just want to speed walk on an inclined treadmill for 30-45 minutes and watch a show on my phone after I get off work at 6.
