Take a trip outside the warmth of the club and you’ll notice a few interesting things.

You’ve no doubt noticed that certain summer “friends” have left for the winter. Each fall, Knupper’s Nursery and Landscaping of Palatine removes our palm trees and stores them for us in their greenhouse. Each spring, Knupper’s replants our palms. We will miss the palms of summer, and look forward to seeing them again next spring!

Next stop: The parking lot.

Question: What measures 6.5” x 12,” has room for 6-to-8 characters, and allows folks to express themselves?

Vanity license plates, of course. And our parking lot has them in droves.

Personalized license plates can say a lot about you. You could choose one that reflects your favorite sports team. For example if you are a Bears Fan, you could select one that says BRS FAN. If you like to work out (of course you do!), you could get one that says WRKOUT GAL. If you select a plate that has already been taken, just add a number to the plate to make it dif  rent!

Here are just a few of the license plates we found in the Midtown parking lot:
PNO GRGO, PSU FAN, CHX ROOL, I STAY FIT, SPY GAME, ACHOOU2, THUTRUK, SUN LVR, LSNHAN, PLANT 7, C DEB GO, LIL DOC 9, DALAP 1, PLAY TNS, POFFY 2, ROMAN 48, SLS RGR 8, LES MC 1, TRVL ON3, CITOG 1, SYATT, HPY CMPR, KEEP HER, CUB 31, FRITZ 88, LPSHN 16, BZZZZ, IS WAS I, WKEND, AMA JOZ, IRITALN, RTBTCB1, SUN LVR 5, DOEN GR 8, TEAM, MAC FEE, IT PAI 4, SWUSH 23, OHGEE1, AKA JOZ, SPIKE EM, JANDY 88, CU IN CO, MEOOW, I BIKE 15.

Is one of them your plate? What does it mean? Please share your story with us!

Can you guess which Midtown associates the cars with the license plates CHIX ROOL and PNO GRGO belong to? Leave your guess as a comment on this blog post. We’ll randomly choose 5 members who have submitted correct answers to receive a $5 café coupon!

Rea is def CHXROOL, Robyn loves pinot grigio, AKA PNO GRGO (incidentally, this was the first plate I noticed 5 years ago as a new hire!)

This was great! The only one I do know is not posted. Now I’ll be looking

I knew CHXROOL was Rea, and thought PNO GRGO was Robyn, but wasn’t absolutely sure.

I thought PNO GRGO was Stacey Nowak.
