One of the worst things about dating apps is that sometimes they don't look like the picture. Actually, it is worse when your date leaves something out of the picture! We also visit Petersen's Main Inn in Lemont for some pool, malort (ew), and a trip to the past as we explore Lemont's former Red Light District.

When a divorcee gets into their first post-divorce relationship, there appears to be a standard amount of time before it ends. Some end a little more ridiculous than others...like this one. We also celebrate St. Patrick's Day Weekend at Porter Cullens in Evergreen Park and the guys do a special musical performance from the bar.
