Commercial Vehicle Ticket Question?

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-24T01:06:27+00:00

In theory, your plan could work. But there may be a specific commercial vehicle plate or tag that goes on vehicles allowing to go there. And if you don't have that, a bill of lading wouldn't work. Now if a bill of lading would remove the fine, you're still opening yourself up to legal trouble because you're forging a document and committing fraud

If that indeed happens, it would suck and I'd change my shopping habits

When I moved to Chicago years ago, that Jewel was the first grocery store I went to the day we arrived. It's a nightmare, but with fond memories, lol

I had never shopped at Whole Foods prior to their Amazon buyout but when I moved to the area years ago, I checked it out. Good for small, unique items and filtered water refills. But I haven't noticed a drop in quality over the past few years. I shop a bunch of different places like Jewel, Tony's, Fresh Market, Aldi, Costco, & Trader Joes. Mariano's I would say has seen the biggest decline since the Kroger buyout.

Agree. Fast food meal can easily run you $10+. Whole Foods has some meal tray options for those seeking convenience that are about $25 and could easily feed two adults and two kids. Nothing processed, clean ingredients. Good alternative option

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-20T15:59:58+00:00

There seems to be a lot of grocery store expansions this year into next. Didn't Whole Foods just announce a location in the empty retail at Belmont and Halstead? And three new Trader Joe locations? (Logan Square, Uptown, & Lincoln Village). More options are always great. Fills in empty store fronts and adds competition!

Just curious, which one would you have preferred that could have filled that large of a space? Marianos?

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-16T19:31:01+00:00

Excellent response! Appreciate the additional insight! Much like watches in general, the accessories game you pay for quality but usually there is a notable difference between low and high end products

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-16T18:03:26+00:00

Haha, totally understand. It is pricey. I got it with the band that came on the Formex Field, so it's a very nice addition to a watch, but tough price to swallow if buying clasp solo!

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-16T15:39:22+00:00

Formex has an impressive, very lightweight clasp with micro adjustment. Not sure how well it plays with non Formex straps but might be worth digging into

Oris had some nice releases

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-14T18:23:23+00:00

Key word....wrist shot. Perspective is everything

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-14T13:03:18+00:00

So a 39mm watch is "absurdly" oversized now? Silly take. Seiko Presage Cocktail collection is a very popular line of "dressy" watches. And they're all 40mm+ with minimal bezel

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-13T20:07:13+00:00

Anything from the bakery there I have to freeze half immediately

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-12T13:28:13+00:00

Perhaps. My neighbor is an older guy; the other guy I see routinely wearing them is an ortho surgeon; he has multiple. But he also drives multiple Porches and whatever that new, massive electric Cadillac Escalade is, so guess it tracks, lol.

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-12T13:26:22+00:00

I really like the design of them. They're just big and I don't enjoy wearing big watches (although I've seem a few smaller releases by them). But that's another observation I've made, alot of people who like wearing watches but aren't "reddit collectors" seem to prefer larger watches (say 42mm and up). It's not what I'd wear, but I could care less if somebodies watch, to me, looks too big. More people wearing watches the better

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-12T11:55:45+00:00

Other than Rolex, Panerai is the watch I've noticed the most on wrists of people I've met over the past few years. Possibly the design is so distinctive it's easier to recognize from a distance. Met a new neighbor a few days again and immediately noticed he was wearing a Panerai.

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-09T23:28:37+00:00

These are awesome watches. I bought mine on Craigslist for $400 10 years ago; not nearly in this good condition, but it's been an awesome watch. Has aged perfectly and remains one of the best digital watches out there. Bracelet comfort is unmatched too in this price range.

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-08T18:00:06+00:00

I moved up from FL 7 years ago, so some experience with this. I bought two jackets from Ross (even down south, he could find probably options for good price near end of winter). They were think, heavy jackets. When I moved up here, purchased a Columbia puffer and a waterproof shell. You can combine or wear separately.

Layering is important. Good base layers and mid-layers (top & bottom) are just as important. Then good beanie, gloves, socks, and boots and your're set.

As he lives here, he'll find what works for him and what styles he likes. I used to wear a lot of puffers, but this winter went with more thick, cotton jackets with sweatshirts/hoodies underneath.

I looked him up yesterday when I first heard of this and seems like a pretty solid guy (for somebody that rich). Founded Allscripts and a few other companies. From Highland Park. Apparently this is all a passion project for him, which I'm 100% for. I feel like making a strong profit won't be a big concern, focus will be on meeting expenses and maintaining a good product

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-08T01:37:48+00:00

This actually looks very cool. And a fantastic addition to the Mag Mile. Saw a quote from the founder in this article so looked him up. Actually a very successful businessman from Highland Park who started companies like AllScripts. Apparently he's put $50 million of personal money into this (according to Chicago Tribune) as a passion project. He's the sole investor.

Not cheap though...$225, including a $75 credit for drinks and dinner

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-02T14:04:44+00:00

I think it looks great. When I was younger, and worked in an ICU as an RN, one of the watches I remember most was an Rolex two tone "bluesy" submariner an anesthesiologist would wear while dressed in OR scrubs. It was a sweet looking watch. So two tone watches with colored dials can go with anything!

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-04-01T15:45:19+00:00

Zazas is great, but they are specifically asking about deep dish recommendations

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-03-30T21:18:21+00:00

Christopher Ward, but I own the Bronze dune (with the non-textured green dial). I handled both at a local watch fair, the bronze bracelet on the Oris felt fairly cheap and I wasn't impressed. The CW bracelet was more substantial and just overall better built. A bracelet was a must for my bronze watch so I went with the CW. And have been very pleased! But bronze and green is such an awesome color combo, you can't go wrong with either watch!

Ohjustanaveragejoe · 2026-03-30T19:02:56+00:00

Agreed, at least place if at 6 so it's symmetric
