In Response To: Magical Mystery Tour: Stop 5 (Godot)

: Well we know where we're going
: But we don't know where we've been
: And we know what we're knowing
: But we can't say what we've seen

: We're on a road to... La Cocina

: If the Ming Choy had a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of the
: Bungie crew on Ontario Street, then the La Cocina was the very soul of the
: Bungie crew on Halsted Street. La Cocina, a small Mexican restaurant,
: served the food that Marathon was built on. It had the disctinction of
: being the "only eatery in existence", well... within walking.
: distance of the Bungie offices anyway. It's importance is enshrined in the
: credits list of both the Marathon and Marathon 2 manuals. La Cocina has
: become something of a mecca for Marathon fans, hundreds come each year to
: celebrate such events as "Last Polygon Filled Night" and
: "Pam's Jello Wrestling Night".

: La Cocina is located at: 2028 S Halsted St
: Chicago, IL 60608

: Google Maps will drop you right off...

: My God! It's gone... The La Cocina has been wiped out. Phhht! Just like
: that. Nuked down to bedrock.

: Yes folks, another Bungie icon has been erased from existence. Who could be
: to blame? City planners? Mayor Quinby? The Pfhor? Matt Soell?

: But what's this? The Bug Stop? How can it be here?

:

: Well it moved to 2029 South Halsted Street some time ago. This is what it use
: to look like when it was opposite Bungie's Halsted office.

:

: So the Bug Stop, which was directly opposite the Bungie office, just happens
: to move directly opposite La Cocina? And now Bungie and La Cocina are both
: gone? Coincidence or...

: Some Bungie fans still believe that The Bug Stop is a front for a clandestine
: operation to save the world from invading aliens (bugs). Of course, we
: know this to be just nonsense... right?

: My head hurts

: Right, back on the bus, we're off to see... the home of the Bungie Webmaster.

: OMG !!!

: Cheers
: Hamish

This tour is getting a bit crazy... and I like it.
