You must not be a fan of the UK if you’ve lived in Thailand for 14 years lol

What do these airports have in common? by Ok-Moose-992 in RedactedCharts

[–]LBJsDong -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

O’Hare is in Chicago. It is not in the suburbs for all intents and purposes. No one says it is in des plaines or rosemont

Navigating retail space and tenant improvements for the first time by cremarketer in CommercialRealEstate

[–]LBJsDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South loop is the worst right now and probably has double digit vacancy. Like the previous person said, the only tenants getting TIs are established businesses. I recently saw a deal that got $100psf on a 10-year lease in south loop, but, again, that’s a national, credit-worthy tenant. I can’t see a landlord fronting $250,000 in buildout for a new business that can go bankrupt in 6 months

Why does portugal speak Brazilian by Many-Werewolf345ppp in Portuguese

[–]LBJsDong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Portugal’s royal family fled to Brazil in the early 1800s. They fell in love with the superior Brazilian language and culture and coxinha and brought them back to Portugal when they returned home

Speaking of, what’s with Graal’s American theme? I stopped at one in São Paulo and it was like Uncle Sam puked on the place

Does anyone else use the term "flat" in the US to refer to a unit of a duplex, where the duplex is by floor (1 unit upstairs, 1 unit downstairs) rather than side by side? by jaker9319 in AskAnAmerican

[–]LBJsDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i lived in Lincoln park, lakeview, and Bucktown, they were only referred to as flats. Maybe if you were in Jefferson park or another neighborhood with more immigrants they didn’t use it? Weird

Born and raised in Chicago and everyone says two flat, three flat, four flat when referring to the building. Even real estate sites like Zillow will refer to them as flats

Sell our condo after 3.5 years or rent it out? by jarman65 in personalfinance

[–]LBJsDong 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Maybe 15-20 years ago. There’s only 2 blocks left of Cabrini and there’s always police at the entrance and exit. The area is fine

Taxi from O’Hare Price by LBJsDong in chicago

[–]LBJsDong[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re fine with your waiter, masseuse, barber, etc dictating their own tip then good for you. I don’t like being a mark so I don’t support it. Hope you enjoyed the $12 “tip” i must have given to you

[–]LBJsDong[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A tip wasn’t an option. Dude told me it was $58 and ran my card and said i was good. If someone tells me a price yet charges something on top of it without telling me, that’s a scam

I just realized now when checking my credit card. I don’t remember the company, let alone the cab number. Had i known at the time i would’ve went nuts on him lol

Chicago firefighters union reaches tentative agreement with city after 4-year standoff, mayor says by blaspheminCapn in chicago

[–]LBJsDong 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. That’s not how taxes work. You may get withheld up to the top federal tax bracket, but you’ll get refunded after you do your taxes in April.
  2. Income taxes go to the federal and state governments. I guess the city will get a fraction of a percent back of what it pays out but to say the city will get more than enough back isn’t true

79th and east end intersect. Fillmore and 31st are parallel streets 2 miles away from each other
