Yes, Machine Gun Kelley. The rumor also mentioned investing in the water taxi. I am begrudgingly for this. I like the competition. Ironically, Shooters used to be the premier late night spot in the summer until FWD came along and it seems like FWD forced Shooters to kind of rebrand. Shooters is so wonderful for weekend late afternoon / early evening live music. However, it seems to not be a late night spot anymore. Perhaps this purchase could bring that back to Shooters and make it a big time late night spot again and force places like FWD to up their game. But i just wish it weren't Shooters. It is such an iconic venue and I kind of like being stuck in 1989 when I go there. The food there is incredibly underrated in my opinion. I hope that doesn't change.

I heard a rumor from two separate people yesterday that MGK just bought Shooters with plans to turn it into a nightclub. I have no idea of this is completely bogus or not.

The last time I asked about Tower 2 was two months ago, and they denied any plans for Tower 2.

I work for SW and was told we'd be given a 6 month heads up before the move. Haven't gotten notice yet, so at a minimum it will be March.

Sure, I'd be interested.

I went in for a quick sandwich at Simply Vintage one time, maybe a couple of months ago. But yes, I feel like it's closed 90% of the time I go down there. Definitely no consistent hours. Very strange. They've been in there for what feels like at least a year now. I wonder how they pay rent? I can't imagine the rent is cheap in new construction on the lakefront.

I really enjoyed the place. What a wonderful location though. I hope it gets filled quickly.

I think you can't beat Lucky's for brunch in terms of food quality. But of course, that's in Tremont and not downtown. And then you might be waiting quite a while.

I'm pretty certain the BBQ place (Smokey's) isn't open yet. In my opinion, Shooters is a great choice for brunch with a great view of the East Bank. Underrated food there. Then you can take the water taxi over to the East Bank to walk around.
