Where would you park your DeLorean?

This one is parked in a new coffeeshop in Chicago caled Worm Hole.  The whole place is straight out of 1984 and has a souped up time-traveling DeLorean in the front window.  That means The Squad could play this joint any year we want!

 

What's Nika smiling about?

She's just excited about her new illustration which is being colored!
