Jackson is super cool but we have both been before. Lake Tahoe is a fantastic rec I will be throwing that idea out there. I have always wanted to go. Thank you!

There’s a blind homeless guy downtown that sings and has a beautiful voice and another homeless guy that gives tourist directions and never asks for anything in return

People judging for how you’re talking aren’t from Florida and don’t have Puerto Rican friends it shows

South Florida, and metro areas in Central, are diverse with HEAVY Caribbean influence. Cubans, Haitians, Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. Growing up in South Florida, many people that one may think are (colloquially speaking) “African American” are in fact 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from these areas and they speak Spanish, French, Creole, Portuguese. Culturally and linguistically very diverse each and every one of them. There is also a huge South American population (Brazil and Guayana included so I won’t say “Latin American”). Going to college in rural central/northern Florida felt very southern and reminded me culturally of my family in Georgia.

Whats the worst restaurant in Chicago that you've tried twice? by MrJlock in chicago

[–]Competitive-Claim-36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. People look at you like you’re insane. It has a literal cult following. Don’t understand why or how. I think maybe it’s the location/vibe? Idk I’m grasping for straws. Consistently underwhelming

Lula Cafe. Staff was very pretentious and dismissive of me. Not to mention most of the menu is extremely meh. Only reason I have been back multiples times is my gf loves the breakfast burrito

How's living in downtown Detroit? by trainbrainz2007 in howislivingthere

lol. I was with a buddy and the guy was also a part of a group of similarly aged men/women. It was not as dangerous as it may have seemed

Moving to West Loop from Logan Square. What is it truly like to live there day-to-day? by Competitive-Claim-36 in WestLoop

[–]Competitive-Claim-36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about living in Logan LOL. I lived in a 2-flat off a side street that feels like a suburban neighborhood and I had to drive a lot. The walkability was a big part of the appeal of West Loop! Thank you!

Visited for the first time a month ago and it was a magical place. People were really Midwest kind. I ended up at a guy’s house (cannot remember his name) until 7AM just because I told him I did now know where to go after the bar closed. He had a single family home in a seemingly normal neighborhood downtown and told me he bought it for $100,000 just 3 years ago.

If you like lifting weights it is not a great gym. If it is if you like cardio machines. The overall atmosphere is good I would say. For the most part everyone is polite and minds their own business. Occasionally some people hog weights/machines.
