About Me

Matt, Traci, and Clark Ragas live in Chicago.

Matt is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, though he called the Sunshine State home for over a decade before moving to Chicago. Traci hails from St. Petersburg, Florida and has never lived more than 45 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.

Clark originally hails from - well, we aren't totally sure. We're just blessed to have him in our family. He's a "rescue dog" as we say. :)

Here is where you can learn all about our new life in the big city.

 

Chick-fil-A Aurora Grand Opening

There was quite a buzz online some months back when Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A announced that it was bringing its fried chicken sandwiches to Chicagoland. After hearing that the opening of the new Chick-fil-A in Aurora a few days ago (the first non-university store location in Illinois) was the biggest in the chain's history, we decided to investigate the opening in person.

Below are some photos from the grand opening (the walk-up line was out the door after 2pm on a Saturday and the drive-through line stretched on and on). I know a crowd attracts a crowd, but this was something else. We met transplants from Louisiana, Georgia, and North Carolina while waiting in line. The south was out in full force, but there also seemed to be lots of first timers.

Eat mor chikin!
