From Boozer's we went across A1A to a favorite of ours, Capone's Flicker Light, right on the intercoastal. This is a Chicago bar with all sorts of Chicago items in it. The last time the Bears were in the Super Bowl, the game was played in Miami and Capone's served as the de facto headquarters for Bears fans.
We got dinner here. Great food and reasonable drink prices.
Went back to the room for awhile, then back on the Broadwalk and watched the people walk by and an occasional firework. Hollywood was supposed to have a fireworks display, we thought, at 9 PM, but found out later it would be at midnight.
Walked by Nick's and Boozer's, but both were too crowded so we then went to Le Tub, next to Capone's and on the intercoastal as well. This was another favorite of ours from years past. Unique is the word for this place. Kind of dead, though, and we weren't too happy with the $3.75 beer cans (somewhat warm), so went to Capone's again. While there, two former NIU football players from the '83 California Bowl team came in along with a former wrestler. Last night they had had a reception for all the former football players and coaches. I sure would have liked to be there.
Talked Huskie football, of course. The stroke of midnight came, but nothing at all happened at Capone's.
Walked over to Joe's Tiki Bar on the intercoastal as well and they were having a huge party so stuck around there awhile.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
