Q-tips say: Yes, we are enjoying this series but the ending is a tad disappointing – which probably means another set of series.
Mrs. Q says: It’s an amazing globetrotting -Croatia, Spain, Germany, the list goes on, and each episode is more gorgeous than the last. You might enjoying saying, we were there & saw that. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, perfectly executed with amazing editing, tight direction, and outstanding performances from the entire cast. If you can get past some of the slower episodes, the pay off and the final is so worth the wait!

Popeye’s Famous Fried Chicken, 6340 N Broadway St – (between Rosemont Ave & Sheridan Rd), Chicago, IL 60660, Neighborhood: Edgewater – (773) 973-0330
1/31/2025 – Q-Tips say: We try not to eat it too often but we do enjoy it sometimes! We eat at home on the balcony (Mrs. Q’s She Shed) overlooking Lake Michigan.
The service at the Broadway St store is decent. Nothing better that Popeye’s Chicken straight out of the cooker – something to be happy about to wait at Popeyes. If you are a tad constipated, get some Popeyes & all will come out fine.
Bye for a while Popeyes.
I made a side salad for myself.

Christmas is always a special time of the year, and it is full of presents, cookies, Santa Clause, and time with family. Take a look at “Christmas Through the Decades” as it explores the holiday, starting in the 1960s and JFK’s assassination; families missing their loved ones serving in Vietnam; and a live video broadcast from the Apollo 8 team. The 1970s brought figurines from a galaxy far far away and even saw a visit with Big Bird on Sesame Street. The ’80s brought the fall of the Berlin Wall, the walkman craze, and Cabbage Patch Kids, as well as the splendor of Clark Griswold’s light display, which rolled right into the 90s with Mikhail Gorbachev’s resignation on Christmas Day. The ’90s experienced many notable things, including desktop computers, Tickle Me Elmo, and the hottest and latest Beanie Baby toys. – Prime Video

Q-tips say: YES, Watch it! A delightfully pleasant comedy. A Man on the Inside is a funny, joyous, and surprisingly poignant series that is absolutely worth your time.

MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY – 5700 S Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL 60637, (773) 684-1414, msichicago.org
OurGrandson says: The Museum of Science & Industry is a must see when in Chicago.
Mrs. Q TIPS SAYS: LOVED IT AS A KID, NOW AS AN ADULT& so does our grown daughter, grandson & Mr. Q. So much to see, so little time. The holiday decorations were out and trees decorated each with ornaments from their own countries – Poland, Thailand, Germany, Australia, etc. Also, it snows inside on the half hour & hour in a designated area. To save some money they offer Chicago residents free days – need to show an ID. No Free Days in summer, that I know of, and take public transportation to save some $$. There is free parking on some of the side streets – could be hard to find but we found one, had to walk 2 blocks to the Museum. This Museum is very good for kids, and adults. Planes, Trains, Submarine, Coal Mine, Body Parts section, Science Storms exhibit, Baby Chicks, Space Exhibit, & Special Exhibits – the tickets sell out fast for the Special Exhibits, which cost extra, so get your tickets early. Mrs. Q suggests: Go on the internet and see the map of the Museum before you go and decide what you really want to see before you go.
