...to say hello to anybody who recalls me.
I've recently been kicked off of Chowhound.com (one too many constructive criticisms of CH's censoriousness, in a nutshell). I wish I had it in me to emulate LTHForum in the SF Bay area. As it is, I'm using my freed-up goofoff time to resurrect my attempts at a chinese food forum, and I invite all to visit it. I've added a Restaurant Review section this time, and there's a Chicagoland forum included. I recall some heady and knowledgeable discussions about Shanghainese cuisine emanating from you guys, so let's git 'er done!

I've also recently retired, and tracking bargain airfares, and maybe reading LTH again will inspre me to make my first visit to Chicago in over 40 years (not including sprints through O'Hare from United to Air Canada).
