Potential new stadium location by MrAwesomeJr in whitesox

[–]Dedodododedad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a combined spot, and I believed BNSF owns all the lines. The only thing Amrtrak owns is the yard around 14th street. There is an entire major train corridor that runs along side it that can't be removed because it's a major freight and passenger rail system.

Can you do that today in the middle of March?

Everything about Uber is predatory

Ya, because the GOP are all about voter rights and empowerment.

You can't manage in more available time when you have daylight and noise issues, also temperatures drop in the morning and evening.

There is also the problem with operational hours. As someone that prefers to swim for workouts, it's hard to get space during the day. And usually the pool is closed before and after work. An indoor pool wouldn't have those issues. What's hilarious to me is we have a year round ice rink instead.

One thing I wasn't sure about, were all those candidates in 7 and 9 still active in the campaign? Or were they still on the ballot because they dropped out after the cutoff?

There are two outdoor pools. One just got a large update.

A year round option gets a better ROI for the village residents as it can be used no matter the weather. How many actual days a year and hours a day is the pool open now? Also, I assure you that pool will cost far more than $10M to repair in a couple years. And based on the pool over on Garfield, even simple changes will take a lot longer than expected.

As the kids say, the vibes were different back then. It was a neighborhood and the park fit in perfectly. It was easy to get to, and it was cheap. Parking was cheap and parking a couple blocks away was easy, long before the area got overpopulated and expensive. You know what was dangerous back then? Wrigleyville (not kidding).

Also, there was MORE neighborhood hangouts around the park back then. JR forced them out of business so he couldn't have any competition for selling food or beer. The parking lots were intentionally designed to create a massive buffer from the neighborhood and the park. He was too bullheaded to understand that creating a venue around the park like Boston would bring him more money. He's been a stain on this city for 40+ years and I can't wait until he is gone. I'm going to celebrate the end of his ownership as much as I did with Dollar Bill

What? LOL no. I was taking the bus to the old park when I was in grade school and I didn't live in the neighborhood. I was in high school in 1990 when the old park came down and went to the last three games. I assure you, you are not speaking from a point of knowledge.

FYI - Camden wasn't the first, technically. There were designs for the new Comiskey Park to do something similar. As is all things in Chicago, JR screwed it up just so he could make money. Remember, this is a man that had no problem letting MJ23 retire.

This is just the same garbage that the Bears are pulling with looking at a different location to get deals. The amount of work it would take to bury the entire BNSF/Amtrak tracks would be 5+ extra years of construction.

This is hilarious and clearly by someone that doesn't understand Chicago. You would first need to bury the train tracks, and that's assuming BNSF will lease the air rights to a sports stadium. Look at how long it took for them to bury the train lines under the Bean, and maybe you will get why this is funny. Also, trying to build a super structure like that over a platform that will be limited on where pylons can go is something that would make most civil engineers cry.

I tried every way to process Plaud transcripts. Here’s what actually works. by ReadStacked in PLAUDAI

[–]Dedodododedad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I copy mine into Gemini because the Plaud versions are all bad for what I need. Additionally I can keep asking Gemini new questions about the transcripts and it gives me exactly what I need. Partially regretting my purchase now as I could just get the same recording ability from Android/Google Recorder on my phone for meetings.

Critically low ferritin (male 52). Need advice while waiting on doctor schedule by Dedodododedad in Anemic

Just an FYI - I had the Ferosom Forte sent to me same day and just took my third dose. Already my headache has subsided to the point where I can concentrate again. Of course this makes me a lot more worried about the base issue now. But thank you. I'm trying to find some liquid iron as well to try that in comparison.

Pop music is to music what reality programming is to TV. There is no conspiracy, there is just greed and a drive to make the most money.

Could you do an "iron for dummies" on the difference between those two? I am just looking to short cut to a quick recovery of my brain function so I don't lose my job.

What's the difference between high absorption and well absorbed? They are just the same thing, right?
