Transmission Thursday at the Five Star!

IMG_0481.JPG Sorry no pictures this week -- damn if we didn't get our asses rained out last Thursday. But we're back with a vengeance, for the last weekly TX Thursday of the summer.

Five Star is at 1424 W. Chicago, just east of Chicago and Ashland.

PS. As an added bonus, it's Drive-Thru staffer Andie's birthday tonight, and I've promised her a cake made entirely of frosting. Will I deliver? Only one way to find out.
