I literally grew up in Rockford, it pinpointed my exact city
bennybinks
that's wild
fleshy barbie
does it have "tyme machine" in there because i feel like that's always a dead giveaway
bennybinks
wha
bennybinks
it does not, I also don't know what that means
fleshy barbie
oh ok that must be madison only, it's an ATM
bennybinks
ohh lol
fleshy barbie
ahaaaa, it's pronouncing "cot" and "caught" differently that got me apparently
bennybinks
same hahaha
bennybinks
now if it had included Beef-A-Roo, that's a dead giveaway
bennybinks
but that's also a specific chain I guess
bennybinks
my favorite Rockford trivia for my new home is that we have a big orange sculpture on our waterfront like the big red one in Seattle Center, by the same artist
bennybinks
which we affectionately call The Orange Thing
bennybinks
and when I visited Seattle Center for the first time I was like !!! THAT THING!!! WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE
fleshy barbie

Beef-a-roo

Beef-A-Roo
bennybinks
when I was with my sister's family and we were driving down from Madison to the Chicago area, we had to go through Rockford and she and I insisted we stop at Beef-A-Roo
bennybinks
and her husband was like this place better be amazing
bennybinks
because we're going out of our way to hit it
bennybinks
and I've gotten Chris on the Beef-A-Roo train and Emily loves it too of course so we were like Sean. calm down. it's great
bennybinks
and to my delight he actually agreed, after eating there
bennybinks
Beef-A-Roo is an important cultural symbol
ᴬ⭐ᴵᴼᴺ
well damn now I’m jealous I’ve never been
bennybinks
you should be
bennybinks
the next time you find yourself driving through northern Illinois, you know where to go
bennybinks
I'm sure that happens all the time
fleshy barbie
did you guys have maid-rite in rockford, i can't remember
bennybinks

I assume Beef-a-Roo serves beef.
bennybinks

bennybinks
