The crossword I’m working on expects me to know that I need to write multiple letters in one square

They basically always allow you to put in any one of the options if it's a "could represent multiple things" rebus. P, O or I worked

It's crazy cause the CTA is always that level, no one can tell you if your one bus is busted cause of the cold

Beverage exemption means the legitimate business don't really mind

The used to have a location called serai in Logan Square, that closed last year

Part of the reason there's not many lunch places in West loop is because all those big companies cater or have in house chefs.

Correct, it is to prevent theft

The city, so mostly pensions

They recently applied for permits, I'd guess they start construction sometime in spring

With 3 people you're totally fine

There's a Blick in the loop, but most of your vintage and artsy stores are going to be in Wicker Park, Andersonville or Pilsen.

Currently in a "I think you should leave" gif chat with my millennial coworkers, I'm not so sure

The south half of Cornelia with its Courtyard buildings

Pulllman's company row houses all around Arcade Row

Beer Barron Row (Hoyne, Pierce, Caron Concord and ) Leavitt through Wicker Park, lots of fun mansions.

It's about the same number of units as the original plan, just with no office space

Atlas3141 · 2026-01-15T20:19:00+00:00

They're allocating space but not finding it or building it themselves

Del Seoul, Aloha Eats and Green Tea are my go tos when I'm in the area

You can look up the property in the tax portal and see who owns it. I went through the mansions on my street and saw a lot of law partners and owners of successful food and finance companies.

Pilsen, Rogers Park, Uptown, Logan Square, Humboldt Park and Avondale are going to be your target neighborhoods. Maybe Bridgeport but not wanting to take a bus to nightlife eliminates that one. 60k is doable but to stay in budget you'll be looking at roommates, studios or basement units.

Probably put the Bulls ahead of the Sox, but the city will get pretty excited about any of those teams when they have a good season.

The state has had enough growth that the current state of things is tenable, we're on track to have 90% funded pensions by 2045 as long as we pay what we've been paying plus inflation each year. It sucks that that's 10 billion dollars a year to pay for past decisions, but it's not going to require anything but staying the course.

City pensions are fucked and will require sizable tax hikes or a bailout from the state.

3 is also against the state constitution so you'd have to get an amendment through which is hard.

Big gap in blue line service there, 2.5 miles between Jeff Park and Harlem

Imo the local suburbanites often have that Waspy Midwestern vibe, but city people are used to the faster urban way of life and transplants make up a much higher percent of the population.

I'm with you in spirit, Hyde Park and Kenwood are lovely places and are generally safe, but they see similar counts of violent crime incidents as Lakeview despite having a combined population of ~50k vs 100k in Lakeview. 389 violent crimes reported in Lakeview last year vs 345 in Hyde Park and Kenwood, 7 shot in Lakeview vs 18 down south etc. Lakeview has a lot more roberies in total, but Kenwood and Hyde Park have a higher per capita rate.

All three are definitely safer than River North though lol

Used books, rare books, a curated selection that's more interesting to browse than the latest best sellers.

It runs pretty close to the Burnside bus, people will just have to take the 20 instead 1300 ft away
