The Kingston Ale House 11225 NE State Hwy 104 Kingston, WA (In the heart of Downtown Kingston)

Before we lived here, we always stopped and ate here when coming to this side of the water. Shortly after moving here, the place changed hands and well, I guess we were leary.

Yesterday as we drove past the place we noticed how busy it was on the large outside patio yet with safe distancing enforced.

It always had good food & great service and after seeing many favorable reviews on Yelp it appears it still does, but just to be on the safe side we'll go check it out very soon and report back!

Venue: Museum of Science and Industry 5700 S Lake Shore Dr Chicago

Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Window and more famous costumed crusaders take over the Museum of Science and Industry in this pop-culture-focused exhibition that explore more than 80 years of Marvel comics, movies and memoribelia. You'll find more than 300 items on display, include costumes and props from Marvel movies and original art created for the company's comic books.

Much of the exhibit takes design cues from the popular Marvel cinematic universe, including a mirrored room inspired by the trippy visuals of Doctor Strange and a recreation of Tony Stark's lab as it appeared in the Iron Man films, stocked with multiple versions of armor. You'll be able to snap photos with recreations of some of your favorite character and learn how a comic company became a multi-media cultural juggernaut.

~~~
Alison Bechdel, the illustrious comic artist and writer whose life was depicted onstage in the musical Fun Home, has penned a new graphic memoir—this time detailing her complicated, long-running relationship to fitness. Titled The Secret to Superhuman Strength, the memoir covers the trials of fad exercises and how, despite the hurdles and pitfalls of self-improvement, we might even learn to appreciate our bodies for carrying us through life.

Bechdel will be joined by artist Nicole Eisenman to discuss The Secret to Superhuman Strength in this virtual Chicago Humanities Festival talk and Q&A session, so be sure to come prepared with questions. (Bonus: Tickets come with a copy of the book.)

Sidebar: Some of you might remember her as the author of "Dykes To Watch Out For" comic strip. The strip, which ran from 1983 to 2008, was one of the earliest ongoing representations of lesbians in popular culture

How do you end the perfect day of sightseeing? With the perfect sunset, obvs. Setting off from Wendella Dock (at the northwest corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge at the foot of the Wrigley Building), this 90-minute cruise will breeze along Lake Michigan as the glint of the sun on Chicago's skyscrapers is replaced by twinkling city lights. Wine, beer and cocktails will be available onboard, too.

We stopped here Thursday for a take out sandwich and it was delicious! We've had breakfast here in the past and it's always been fantastic!
