Black smoke has emerged from the Sistine Chapel's chimney just before noon local time (5 a.m. CT) Thursday. This means the cardinals have not elected a new pope after two new rounds of voting. They are expected to meet again in the afternoon for possibly two more rounds of voting. The last three popes have been elected within two days of voting. If the next pope is not chosen after a third day, the cardinals are expected to pause the conclave for a day of prayer and discussion.

One of the first things diners might notice when they park and walk over to the restaurant's front door is the many plants surrounding the building and along the exterior of the parking lot.
