I will miss the Lincoln Recreation Center, a.k.a. Lincoln Lanes, a.k.a The Bowling Alley Above The Ace Hardware. Yeah, you heard me right. In Lincoln Square, there's a bolwing alley above the Ace Hardware. It's totally retro and kind of threadbare, but totally cool nonetheless. The above review says, "Be prepared to dodge the locals." Yeah buddy, that's me.

I won't miss Guitar Center in Chicago. It's another one of those things that I don't have to miss because I'll have it in LA, but still, I won't miss it. I'm not sure what it means that I'm a musician but I hate most music stores. Mom and Pop ones are almost always better than Guitar Center obviously... but I usually don't really like them, either.
