Our faithful correspondents Anthony Kaczor and Sid Korpi report on their latest Lenten dining discoveries:

we didn't have somewhere to be in short order the scent didn't
warrant a wait in that line like you might at a County Fair. Our walk
back to our car gave us our true reason for being there, which was a
mystical experience from a totally blind Black Lab within his white
eyes he seemed to be a very old soul that walked right up to us as if
it could see us.
We then stopped at the Bloomington Knights of Columbus which
advertises many fundraising events one being Fish Fries in Lent.

hit the Hub Shopping Center Burger King for fish sandwiches on our
