MMMM MMMMMMM goooooooooooooooooooood

                                                       
Morgan’s Bar and Grill is located over by UIC on Halsted kiddy-corner from Jamba Juice.  It is a great place for college students to come on the weekends to enjoy a great hamburger or other grilled food.  With over eight televisions and two projection screens, it is quite busy on game days from watching the Bears to the Blackhawks.  The atmosphere is cozy with warm hanging lights, candles set out on the tables in the evening and sport team posters scattered along the brown brick walls and bar counters which is placed in the center of it all.
          When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by the waiter/ waitress.  However, even though you are greeted, they did not make clear if we were to seat ourselves or be seated by them.  Other than the first confusion, the service was great.  Our waiter was friendly and even cracked a joke or two.  The manager is out in the bar taking orders and making friendly conversation with the customers who walk in. 
          Now down to the main reason for a review, the food.  One word… perfecto.  The cod fillet was cooked perfect to where it felt like it was just melting in your mouth.  The lettuce was fresh and the tartar sauce had a delicious twist to it.  The fries were crisp and not too salty.  It was too good to put down.
          On game days, they have specials for orders of wings, burgers, fries and other appetizers as well as the alcohol.
          Prices on average range from $6 - $10.  Highly recommended to come grab lunch or dinner with friends

The king

The history still shows decades later.  Would he be happy with how things are these days?  There is still a substantial amount of racism existing in the minds of many people.  Racism will sadly never completely be eliminated within our world.  But, in our world today compared to Martin Luther’s time, more opportunities have been opened to African Americans as well as equal rights.
Yes, Martin Luther was a man everyone admired and turned to when they were in need of aspiring to their dreams.  He was a man who showed to everyone that no one should ever give up.  He was one of the greatest African American activists in America.  And even though he was a venerable man, I do not think that school and work should have a day off. It singles out one race and does not represent a nation as a whole like other holidays such as the Fourth of July and Columbus day.  These two holidays represent America as a whole: the declaring of our nation as a free nation and the actual founding of America.
Declaring a national day for Martin Luther is one thing, but having children miss school and adults being off from a day of pay is pushing it a little.
But I will enjoy my day off every year without complaining.
