Recall those commercials telling us that America runs on Duncan.  Well, in Chicago this is definitely a true statement.  You can’t go anywhere in Chicago and not run across a good ‘ole DD.  In fact, yesterday we went from my house to get some lunch and ran across 3 DD.  More than that, who can deny enjoying the occaisional stop to pick up some coffee and a couple of doughnuts.

Well, just last week the DD down the street from me was shut down.  The health inspectors came in and found the place with nearly 200 “flying insects”.  I have no idea what that means, but its something that I want absolutely no part of. It was reported that they were everywhere, including where the doughnuts and bagels are kept.  Uh…!  So with Friday off thanks to the celebration of Uncle Sam’s birthday I decided that nothing could be a better use of time and provide more entertainment than walking the almost 2 blocks to check this out.  Upon approaching the shop, I saw that there was caution tape all around the drive.  Now you’ll notice that there is a sign on the door.  “Closed for construction” is what it reads.  Uh…?  I believe that the owners of this particular franchise are trying to fool us here.  Um, that would be a no go.  Upon walking a few more feet I discovered the sign that needs to be seen.  A bright green sign  that states “License Revoked”.  But, don’t worry, they tried to draw your attention away from that with another sign that said “Closed for Construction”.  Let me just finish by saying that this DD is just over a year old.  I have always complained about their service at this particular establishment, but this by far, crushes anything that I’ve said about it.
