There were no other 24 hour options in walking distance when I was there. I doubt there are even now, although with Grubhub and whatnot there’s probably a lot more delivery available.
Hard to stay in business with few students on campus.
I’d drunk run home from the Mark 2 and stop at Burger King on the way back. It was another mile or so north from there. Those were the days!!!
Isn't Stub and Herb's kind of considered the iconic Gopher hangout?Another fast food staple closed in Dinkytown, the U of Minnesota’s campus neighborhood and my other alma mater. It was a weird, sunken 2 story McDonalds.

Another sunken McDonalds is at the Munich Airport. It used to also be unique in offering pastries, but now that is everywhere,Another fast food staple closed in Dinkytown, the U of Minnesota’s campus neighborhood and my other alma mater. It was a weird, sunken 2 story McDonalds.

Replaced by something equally unappealing, only bigger--a REAL WHOPPER. It's sad given Chicago's proud architectural history of well detailed, subtle, well thought out buildings that aspire to a higher ideal have given way to such smug lifelessness. Not unlike the Kellogg monstrosity on the Lakefill. It is pointless and embarrassing to do architecture this badly. I mean why even do it? Evanston and NU have some excellent examples of contemporary architecture. I refer in particular to the music building on the southern tip of the Lakefill. Whoever thought of that metaphor for a ship on Lake Michigan and carried it out that well is a genius. When it is foggy, such as much of Fall and Winter, the building from a distance is a mysterious presence, contrasted to the roundy lump of Kellogg that overwhelms everything around it. It is nearly unfathomable that the same University could produce such a contrast of beautiful vs. butt ugly. But perhaps that is a reflection of their respective purposes. Taj Fitz began in a very mediocre direction, but someone got under their skin about how it wasn't necessarily in NU's best interest to build a significant addition to the campus that appeared to have been designed by a first year architectural student from the 1960's.
It was before my time, but I certainly heard about it.
I had a different type of accident at the BK Lounge...
I perfected Sanj' whistle and would watch the lobby of our fraternity fill in anticipation after the false alarm
Next to the Nuclear power plant? Perhaps they got the water for the snow from the reactor cooling pond? Members of the Chinese ski jumping team are Yu-90, Liu-131, Chen-60 and Yichenium. Or course the winner of the gold medal in the event was the Norwegian, Thorium.Olympic Ski Jumping venue - no joke, this is really it
I was in the NU apts. all four years undergrad, and was a "BK Lounge" regular. I'm not sure when you were there. Did they still throw open windows and do "the scream" during finals when you lived there?
It is interesting what constituted an acceptable sandwich back in the day. Every now and then, I get the urge to buy a loaf of white bread and a can of Spam. At the time I was at NU it seemed as though WWII, only 15 years prior, with Spam in its heyday, was long distant past. Now 15 years ago seems like yesterday. Have to give Sandji' kudos for advancing the art of the sandwich, to add such exotic things such as iceberg lettuce in the middle of winter in Illinois, and to combine cheese with ham. There certainly weren't whole grain breads widely available back then, but he may have sold sandwiches on rye. Although not Jewish rye, at NU. Ah, the memories.
I was there and didn't hear about it. Is it suitable for the Rivals public board?
The view of the skyline behind the performers at the new music school auditorium is spectacular.
