I was a true introvert and didn't like beer or bars. I went to some bars at some point with my older sister when we both got kicked out of the house by my mother. I am not sure when that was.

Rogers Park was wonderful, mainly because of the close proximity to Lunt Beach

I worked at the Heartland Cafe for a while as a waitress, but didn't last long. Owned by a hippie couple. I read it closed in 2018

Heartland Cafe, 7006 N Glenwood Ave, closed on December 31, 2018

No Exit Cafe 6970 N. Glenwood Avenue, closed June 30, 1999
