Yes, but the real question is can Siri find me weed.

[–]StonedSquare 2 points3 points ago

Good question.

[–]bayzilla 1 point2 points ago

It would if you lived in a dispensary state.

[–]cz03se -2 points-1 points ago

I too would enjoy Siri if it had a way of finding. Perhaps in the ios6 update?

[–]hightiedye -2 points-1 points ago

Looks like Siri was ahead of the game and listed Sinbads for you already ;)

[–]murrray 19 points20 points ago

I can get a hooker at Sinbad's? Looks like I know what I am doing tonight...

[–]Chabazz 13 points14 points ago

Please report back on your findings. thx.

[–]FreshFruitCup 4 points5 points ago

Being from Boston, I did not immediately get the joke.

[–]George_H_W_KushHinsdale 7 points8 points ago

Sinbad's Hookah had hookers?!

I went to high school literally right there (St. Ignatius) and I never knew.

[–]EXWRESTLER 3 points4 points ago

Upvote for a fellow Ignatian.

[–]joetbaLittle Italy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Upvote you both for the same reason!

[–]mrhgibs 1 point2 points ago

did you know mrs heidkamp? I think that was her name. English teacher

[–]retrobust 0 points1 point ago

she was cool.

[–]CaptainBecketRiver Forest 0 points1 point ago

I'm going there now and have never been able to get a good look in there. Even when it's open!

[–]clawgoose 6 points7 points ago

Joe will go upstairs and make a Home Run Inn pizza in his oven at 2 am for $10. You get to go upstairs with him for $100.

[–]druzi312Wicker Park 3 points4 points ago

lil joes? we used to go there after class in like '04 - there were no ho's tho...

[–]MLBM100Lincoln Park 1 point2 points ago

like 4 years ago, that place was fucking dead. Then suddenly people started showing up, and for a year or two it was the shit. Now it's full of dickheads.

[–]magicd86 1 point2 points ago

There are now, and douchebgs.

[–]MLBM100Lincoln Park 3 points4 points ago

Man, I used to go to Little Joe's a lot. Joe is awesome, and he treated me and my friends like we were family. I still stop by every now and then and he still remembers me, but that place is different now. I miss those days, getting hammered with 2 dollar snake bites and shitty whiskey and singing karaoke all night.

[–]jlmawp 4 points5 points ago

If you want another entertaining bit, ask Siri "Where can I hide a dead body?"

[–]oleada87 1 point2 points ago

and i thought they were innocent little bars.....

[–]DriftingJesus 0 points1 point ago

For science!

[–]rianouxCicero 0 points1 point ago

man, Sinbad's is pretty damn tiny to be hidin' escorts.

[–]Frolish 0 points1 point ago

I can tell you that those aren't whore houses, honey. You might pick up a sorostitute for free at little joe's, but that's about it.

[–]planification 1 point2 points ago

Little Joe's is a good place. If I remember right, Joe was born upstairs in the 40s, and his parents named the place after him, and he's still there pretty much every night of the week.

[–]JustPlainRude 9 points10 points ago

Joe was born upstairs in the 40s ... he's still there

Poor guy needs to get outside.

[–]bettorworse 0 points1 point ago

The crazy old uncle in the attic.

[–]clawgoose 3 points4 points ago

Actually, Joe was born across the street, at a joint his parents used to own.

They moved across the street when Joe was a little tyke, and he took over the operations after he graduated high school.

He has lived upstairs ever since.

----via Drunken conversation with Joe on an empty Monday night in the place. Love that bar.

[–]afternoondlight 2 points3 points ago

Yep and Little Joe is hilarious, in an old school kind of way.

[–]druzi312Wicker Park 2 points3 points ago

true - I had a prof Jones at UIC - we would grab a pint w/ people from the comm dept every thur there... miss that a little bit!

[–]broken_smokeLogan Square 0 points1 point ago

Prof Jones was my favorite teacher at UIC!

[–]druzi312Wicker Park 0 points1 point ago

His wife was also a prof - I had here also - Harken? i believe.... I'm sure they retired now - Jones wrote speeches for Daley.

[–]SteenalizedBucktown 1 point2 points ago

Little Joe is the best, amazing guy.

[–]joetbaLittle Italy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Great place, they leased out the kitchen now and food is provided by Chi-Town Johnny's!

[–]idrathernaut -3 points-2 points ago

I was there once and it was just a bunch of douchebags and some annoying girls.

[–]Katarn717Lincoln Square 1 point2 points ago

Probably took about an hour to get on Edge network.

[–]joetbaLittle Italy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Luckily, I have WiFi!

[–]Aznfeatherstone -1 points0 points ago

And now Apple knows you are in the market for Hookers

[–]DrewTerry 1 point2 points ago

You mean "escort"... "I want an escort to escort our penises into her vagina."
