My friend Sherwin, I think, is a little low on his estimate of tanguero/as in the Chicago metro area. I´d put it closer to 500, and certainly 300´'regulars' with more like 100 'junkies'. With the number of milongas now in Chicago (including several now in the suburbs), it is impossible for any one dancer to fully appreciate the 'regulars' who go to one venue or another on a 'religious' basis. BTW - writing this on a beautiful morning in Montevideo and am now off to see candombe in the streets of Malvin;) Phoebe J. (PJ) Grant of WindyCityTango, Unlimited
