This Cash-Only Illinois Tavern Has Been Serving Giant One-Pound Burgers For Decades
A full pound of beef on one bun. That’s the standard burger here, not some dare written on a chalkboard. The smaller version is the half-pound option, which tells you a lot about this place. There are no fries on the menu either. You get chips instead, and somehow that quirk feels just right.

Mayor plans to seek data center moratorium despite inaction
(The Center Square) - Mayor Mike Coffman said he will propose another data center moratorium after Aurora City Council once again failed to reconsider an earlier ban. On Monday night, when the city council considered revisiting an indefinite moratorium on data centers, council members who opposed the Oct. 26 motion to reconsider could have brought it back up for discussion. But none did, so there was no vote. Coffman said he would propose a new moratorium at the city council’s next meeting on Nov. 23. The data center moratorium is important because the city is working on implementing regulations in a study session, Coffman said. But he added those rules won't finalized until January. He described the city’s current data center regulations as “inaccurate.” If data center developers submit applications before the regulations are finalized, Coffman said they would come in “under the existing rules,” and the city could end up with another large data center like the proposed 860,000-square-foot Trident data center. Aurora is still in ongoing discussions with Vantage Data Centers, the developer of the Trident center. Numerous people on Monday spoke out in favor of the city implementing a data center moratorium during the meeting’s public comment
