EFFORTPOST My favorite place in Nick Fuentes's town and the drama therein

As everyone now knows Nick lives in Berwyn

Berwyn is a boring suburb a stone's toss from Chicago. The only significant things about it in order: Filming the car spike (which has been torn down, RIP) in Wayne's World, being the home of Nick Fuentes, and Cigars and Stripes.

Anyone who is planning a pilgrimage to your groyper holy site should stop by for a meal after you get pepper sprayed. Cigars and Stripes is a great and strange place. It is typically a host to bikers , misfits , and all sorts of other weirdos .

And now a quick ad for Cigars and Stripes's wings before we get to the drama. They are still the best I've ever had. He has huge smokers with hundreds of wings slow cooking all day round. They are meaty and juicy , and served over lightly toasted white bread to soak up the flavor

If you didn't watch the ad above , Cigars and Stripes is owned by a dude named Ronnie Lottz. He is a fan of old school pulp horror , wrestling , BBQ , and Cigars . He is also extremely eccentric and possibly a recovered coke head . Ronnie used to be a wrestling manager back in the day and hosts some amatuer events. I attended a event that was a lot of fun, but not everyone appreciated it

But the noteable drama happened a couple of years before that. As mentioned, Ronnie is a huge fan of classical horror. Every Halloween he hosts a spookie week where he invites freak performances and builds some decorations and pratical jokes around the bar.

One of these practical jokes involves a two way mirror he installed in a door by carving it out, which revealed a monster on the other side when you flipped a switch . Well, one day Ronnie made the biggest mistake of his life. He let a foid perform on comedy night , and she did not appreciate this mirror. Why? Because it was in the women's bathroom .

Ronnie hated the accusations that he was a deviant, but being a former pro wrestling manager, loved the attention and the chance to play front man again. He would give commentary to any journo who asked. One of my favorites is from Jezebel, it is too long to post here, but here's the intro:

(Phone rings)

(A woman answers.) "Bathroom mirror, how can I help you?"

Oh, excuse me, is this Cigars and Stripes?

Yes it is.

I'm calling in regards to a video posted about a two-way mirror in the bathroom—

Hold on.

(Man picks up) Hello?

Hi, I'm with Jezebel, and I'm calling about the two-way mirror in your ladies' restroom.

What does Jezebel do? I've never heard of her. And yes, absolutely: we have a two-way mirror in there, yes, yes; we've had it since 2001.

Okay. So, I'm just wondering why it's in the ladies' room?

Young lady, I have in my beer garden—I have a 10 and a half-foot hole. Did you know that it's haunted. Did you know that a man fell dead. Do you know that we do seven days of Halloween. Do you know that mirror's been there for the longest time. That woman opened the door. I mean she opened the door, there's nothing in there. Open the door and pee and do what you want. Quite frankly I'm enjoying people calling, because I'm selling chicken wings. Look, this woman is looking for a viral video. There's a big movement in reality TV to be outraged about feminism. I've been in professional wrestling. So yes: come see my mirror; eat my wings—I don't know what to tell you, honey.

And you're going to keep the mirror in there?

I will burn this fricking place to the ground before I get rid of that mirror. Do you know how much joy that mirror has brought to us? We're synonymous with Halloween. We do a freaky family fun day, and all the kids look in the mirror. This is a fun house, honey, and if you don't like the two-way mirror, go frick yourself; and if you come on my stage, have something to say. Everyone needs an angle. My angle is: I do barbeque; I promote it, and I break my butt for the local comics in Chicago. I pay them. I try to make them into rock stars. They do nothing, except for this. One girl said she wanted to pull her pants down and show her clitoris to me, and they all came and ate the wings.

At the time it made national news and there were dozens of reddit posts about it. The 's video got over 3 million views . Facebook was filled with posts from foids all across Chicagoland declaring they would never go there again.

There was a post on SRD filled with no fun havers , but I can't find it. I don't know if it's because of reddit's terrible search function or because the SRD mods delete everything that is interesting outside of poweruser slapfights.

That's all. I have more stories about Ronnie and the other characters I've met there, but they probably aren't interesting unless you've been there. You can enjoy more of Ronnie's antics on Instagram:

Any of you !chiraqis go into the burbs for some wings and a peep at girls peeing?
