About This Site
- Tom Panelas
- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- This blog was originally about the Ray School Chess Club, and sometimes still is, but now it's about chess everywhere -- though mostly in Chicago -- and anything else that strikes my fancy. The blog's title, for readers who aren't familiar with Ray, refers to the school itself—-a 117-year-old fortress of a building, replete with turrets, on Chicago's South Kimbark Avenue.

I hope that is a life sized picture, especially since I have a large monitor! Would you like to join me for one?
Zack,
It's a date. Where do you like? Byron's, or is there a better place?
Maybe a game of chess while we're at it.
Tom
I go right to the source: The Vienna Beef Factory at lunch time.
We could have dessert over the board at any of the local cafe's.
This picture makes me want to run out to Poochie's (best hot dogs in Skokie) right now!

Well, maybe we should make it Poochie's then. A bit out of the way for us city slickers, but a good Polish is worth driving for. maybe Andi and Brad could hook up with us and we can start a new tradition: hot dogs and chess.
It makes sense, doesn't it, since both were invented here in Chi Town, right?
