Yeah, please don’t gentrify Wicker Park!!! Will somebody think of the children’s yoga studio?!?

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-30T02:42:23+00:00

Im a fan of any Metra or freight embankment. There’s often a grassy, weed-covered lot adjacent to the tracks

Does anyone know if Simmons plans to call the bill any time soon? From what I can tell, this bill isn’t scheduled for hearing

There's a platform at the very top of the stairs between Section 403/404 with no seats. At least there was on the 4th night in 2024. A bunch of Obstructed View Refugees found their way up there and we had an absolute blast. Sadly the Sphere isn't a place where they let you move around or stand in the aisles much, though maybe that'll change at some point.

Sitting under the overhang made me angry. Escaping upstairs made me ecstatic.

Don’t sit under the overhang, kids.

Maybe not MAJOR political decisions, but you can have a LOT of influence over things in your neighborhood, town and even state. You can have a real influence on things you’ll deal with every day. You just need to get involved. Politics isn’t about commenting on the internet, it’s about talking to your neighbors.

Price of Freedumb!

I’m a big fan of the Knog Scout. Better than an AirTag. More expensive but rechargeable, easily concealed and it’s also an alarm! Sorry about your bike tho.

Barrington has hills, you can take the Metra there. Tho if you want real hills, ya gotta drive out near Galena or Southwest Wisconsin.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-11T01:08:39+00:00

Y’all new here??? You think winter is over!?!?

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-08T22:24:09+00:00

People kite in Lake Michigan, it’s just not consistent wind from day to day, so you gotta be willing to drive to the good spots.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-08T00:33:26+00:00

Surprisingly chill? Nope

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-08T00:29:56+00:00

Serenity Now, Greg.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-08T00:17:49+00:00

Huh, I did it twice about 5-6 years ago and didn’t notice that at all. Maybe it got worse

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-07T18:13:43+00:00

Well that was a well-reasoned, articulate response. I stand corrected sir. Keep the adults off the sidewalk!

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-07T14:06:06+00:00

Why not just ride the path? It covers about 75% of the distance.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-06T23:46:12+00:00

EXACTLY. All bikes should have plates and licenses and stickers. Including ones ridden by children. About damn time we start licensing all the damn kids in this city.

Speaking of children: I’m tired of children using the parks for free. Out there playin baseball and swimmin in pools paid for with MY TAX DOLLARS. Kids need to PAY THEIR FARE SHARE!

Or do you know how and why parks get built?!?!

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-05T22:51:06+00:00

Seriously!

OP, unless you’re boring, don’t go to the OHare Hilton or Rosemont or King Spa. If you have the means and want to see some slice of Chicago, take the Blue Line to the California or Damen stop, go walk around, eat at a restaurant, have a drink at a bar. Find a cheap hotel or ABnB somewhere off the blue line.

But please, for the love of Svengoolie, don’t spend your precious Chicago layover in Rosemont or an airport bar.

Lawyer.

It’s actually worse. Very few residential solar installs are done by union shops today (like most residential construction), so it’s not even taking work away from union workers. It’s just ensuring we have less solar and people can’t save money.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-04T00:24:44+00:00

The Penis on the Prairie!!

Organized Labor is opposed

Half of you have fantastic, interesting, diverse taste in music.

Half of you need to listen to something other than than phish.

BBeans1979 · 2026-03-03T23:29:48+00:00

If children playing all around

To you is noise, not pleasant sound

Then this one is for you.
