小さいローカルニュース

①　Schaumburg、woodfield Mallの側にJohn M. Smyth Homemakers のビルディングがりますが、ここに皆さんの大好きなWhole Foods とCrate & Barrel が新しく建つそうですよ。

ずいぶんとここの開発に時間がかかったようですが、ようやく最終案が通ったようです。

②　バーテンダーの正式名を"mixologist”　と英語では呼ぶんですね。

ラスベガスで行われていた『国際バーテンディング大会』で1位は逃したものの、決勝まで勝ち残ったJason Ochoa さんはMount Prospectで育ち、Glenviewのレストランにて"mixologist”をやっていっらしゃいます。（1位はロンドンからいらしたTony Adams さん25歳）

彼がどこのレストランにいるか、知ってる方教えて下さい。是非カクテル作って頂きたい。　　　　　(Courtesy of DFPR)

③　イリノイ州では赤信号でも、歩行者の横断がなく、視界がクリアであれば車の右折が出来ますすが、シカゴ郊外ではこの度信号機にカメラを設置し、右折が出来る場所でも一旦停止をしていない車の取締りを強化しました。

日本の歩道になれた人にはこの車の右折OKってちょっと分かりづらいですよね。　気をつけましょうね。
