[0:00] Hi, I'm Colleen Stidle and I give you in [0:03] Bloomington Hearts and Spades for [0:05] classic games, curated food, and [0:08] childhood feels. Hearts and Spades will [0:10] be a board game food hall meant for [0:13] playful screen-free connection across [0:16] generations. In today's world, most game [0:19] spots don't have food, maybe have a [0:22] limited menu, or operate out of a [0:24] brewery with a single lone food truck. [0:26] That's where Hearts and Spades comes in. [0:28] Imagine [0:30] long wooden tables etched in familiar [0:33] designs like checkers and back gammon [0:36] laid out in lines where murals pop and [0:39] oversized dice hang above you. Where [0:42] ordering food means asking for the [0:44] settler sliders or the draw to. [0:48] This will be a place where maybe chess [0:51] clubs meet after school and millennials [0:53] like myself play cribage with parents [0:55] still thriving in their 70s. In terms of [0:58] the food, I hope to collaborate with six [1:00] different restaurants to offer distinct [1:02] cuisines. Priority will go to [1:05] underrepresented chefs in Bloomington to [1:08] continue to align with the city's vision [1:09] that when diversity is embraced, the [1:12] community is strengthened. I believe we [1:15] deserve to know more than the feeling of [1:17] a smooth glass screen. We deserve to [1:20] know the feeling of tactile scrabble [1:22] tile in hand and even the shuffle of a [1:26] deck of cards. On August 6, I will be [1:29] pitching in the top 10 for Hatch. Come [1:32] vote for me and let's get the dice [1:34] rolling.
