Happy Thanksgiving!

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Nov 26, 2009 7:00PM

Sure, it's only 1 p.m., but we're calling it an early day to go eat, drink, and be thankful with friends and family. But don't worry; we'll be emerging from our food comas tomorrow morning and be right back here. (Don't forget: if you're out shopping, consider buying local.) But before we go, we'd like to give thanks for you. Sure, we have lots of things to give thanks for (family, friends, etc), but we're also thankful to have you, our readers, coming back day after day. 2009 has been the biggest year yet for Chicagoist and we're looking forward to a strong finish. While we don't always see eye to eye with some of you, you keep reading and without you, there would be no one with whom to share our thoughts about this amazing city we live in. Whether it's directly on the site, via our RSS feed, on Facebook, or on Twitter, you've stuck with us. So thank you for making us a part of your daily (and sometimes hourly) routine.

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy rest of your holiday!
