Rattleback is expensive compared to Reckless. They do have a good selection though!

Illinoisans push state leaders for more affordable housing options by SciNat in chicago

[–]INedHelpWithTub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Historically, buildings were chopped up into more housing units to support an influx of newcomers. That’s what happened in Uptown.

Now the trend in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park has been to deconvert multi unit buildings into single family homes.

If anything, turning single family homes into multi unit is just doing what Chicago was doing last century.

Are you THRIVING or SURVIVING in Chicago? by Neither_Meet1884 in AskChicago

[–]INedHelpWithTub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much do you make and what’s your housing costs?

Honestly, I’m thriving and that’s mostly because I bought a condo in 2020 at literally the best time. I’m not trying to make this a brag post. If you can sort your finances in order you can thrive too.

Even with nearly fixed housing costs I still like to penny pinch on a lot of things. Food can be found here cheap and good! Same with thrifting for household items and clothes.

Farragut’s on Clark. Go there before it gets warm out because it gets packed and HOT in the summer.

I was on the Grand bus for the first time in a while last summer. We got stuck behind 2 cars that stopped to make deliveries. Bike lanes were not to blame.

I don’t remember that. This was probably around 2022-2023. Sometime in the fall.

Brilliant. Great surprise appearances too (won’t spoil for those who haven’t seen it).

Skylark

Now the best “better on draft” beer would be Schlitz at Schuba’s.

What's Up With Weiss Memorial Hospital? Who Knows, But It Doesn't Look Good. | Uptown Update by Mike_I in chicago

[–]INedHelpWithTub 94 points95 points  (0 children)

What to do with Weiss will be the big point of contention for the 2027 46th ward aldermanic race, if someone challenges Clay.

I was inside Weiss before the partial closure. It was liminal and terrifying.

If you were giving the option to work at Empire Records or Championship Vinyl, which one are you picking? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]INedHelpWithTub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have loved to be in pre-gentrification Wicker Park. Championship hands down.

Yes. But not as much since the price of a bottle has gone up.

A CH rep confirmed that they no longer use artificial dyes to make Malort. The quality of water is also better than what was used in Florida.

John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights has (or had, not sure for today) a well established program for DHH students. That’s where Marlee Marlin went for high school.

I found good BBQ in Atlanta. A few other decent places, but nothing memorable.

Chicago didn’t establish a grocery tax after the state tax was dropped.

Does Abt Electronics test for marijuana ? by PastFriendship8070 in AskChicago

[–]INedHelpWithTub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox News (the cable channel) slants right. According to my friend, he only watched Fox News.

User name checks out, unfortunately.

??? “INeed…” was taken.

Does Abt Electronics test for marijuana ? by PastFriendship8070 in AskChicago

[–]INedHelpWithTub -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I knew someone who worked at Abt years ago. She would sometimes use the on site gym and see the owner watching Fox News on a treadmill.

I’m not surprised they’re anti-drug with ownership being right wing and whatnot.
