Oh, I used to work in the building. I wonder was it due to the competition from Dunkin Donuts in the same building.

The Pete’s on Madison is closing too fyi

That’s like the 5th McDonalds I see closing… I wonder what’s going on, there is definitely a pattern.

Yes, I also count this as the 5th MCD closing in this area. Previous 4 include two on wabash, one on the corner within a really old/vintage looking building (this closing was around when COVID started), and one on Monroe and Clark.

Such a bummer. I miss the days where we would see the Golden Arches everywhere

Less foot traffic, higher costs, higher crime... just do a Google search for chicago restaurant closures, and you'll see many articles in 2025 saying it was coming.

This one is within an office building. Don’t think crime is the reason for this particular closing. Less foot traffic due to more remote workers is the main reason I think

I used to frequent that one a lot. Problem was they jacked up the prices hardcore at all McDonald’s and I’m not playing 7-10 bucks for an Egg McMuffin when it was 2 for 1 for under $4 just a few years ago.

$10 for $2 quality

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting.

Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
