Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).
Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.
INDIANA CASINOS ARE TIGHT. OTHER OUTSIDE CASINOS HAVE WINNERS ALL DAY LONG. PEOPLE HIT REGULARLY AT OUTSIDE CASINOS, INDIANA CASINOS HAVE FEW WINNERS ESPECIALLY THE LARGER JACKPOT WINNERS.

I,D RATHER TRAVEL TO OUTSIDE CASINO AND TAKE THE CHANCE ON WINNING AND HAVING FUN DOING THAT , THEN TO KNOW THAT YOUR CHANCES AT WINNING AT A INDIANA CASINO AREFAR AND IN BETWEEN.
