New Location in May!  We’ve outgrown Curran’s Family Restaurant—thanks to them for terrific service over the years—and will be moving this series to the Perkins Restaurant located at 4201 W. 78th Street (near 494 and France) in Bloomington.  The new location has a private room, wireless internet, and a large range of breakfast options.  We hope you’ll join us.
