OCTOBER 24, SATURDAY-- Drove to DeKalb enjoying the fall color. Parked at the Baymont Hotel and walked over to the alumni tent area and enjoyed a porkchop sandwich and the swag. Heard the university president and athletic director speak and the Huskie Marching band.
Decided not to buy tickets for the game because of the crummy weather, but watched part of it from outside Huskie Stadium.
Went back to the hotel and drove Lincoln Highway downtown and went to Lord Stanley's where we saw the game and enjoyed the DeKalb Footstompers, a homecoming tradition since 1973. Ended up at Pizza Pros.
OCTOBER 25, SUNDAY-- Drove around campus, Greek Row and did some shopping for NIU stuff. Had lunch of sliders at White Castle and then intended to see the Pumpkin festival parade in Sycamore, but couldn't find a parking place so drove to Woodstock and walked around the Square. Stopped at Benton Street Tap and Wayne's Lanes, which was the bowling alley in the movie "Groundhog Day." This is also from where Bill Murray and friends took their race around town and on the railroad tracks.
Last stop was Sunnyside Tap in Johnsburg.
A Good Weekend. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
