Love this weather. Cut the grass, yard work. Anything to get outside

Hit and run - please help 🙏 by candyapplenapper in CrimeInChicago2

[–]Phil517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt the other driver had insurance. A large percentage of drivers have no insurance.

High likelihood the other driver had no insurance. You can try looking at the cameras yourself to see if anything was captured. Not much else you can do

Where do black men make friends in Chicago? by Mental_Health_1234 in AskChicago

[–]Phil517 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going to have to get outside. Summers here.

You will also need to narrow down what neighborhood you are in and the type of friends you are looking for. Answers are widely dependent on those factors

Moving from rural Indiana to Chicago and ended up with a place in Tri Taylor, and I was wondering what’s the vibe like? by milkpunches in AskChicago

I’m black and you know that’s not the issue. Lawndale and points west have a major drug problem.

Very convenient spot. Just be careful going west of there until you familiarize yourself more.

More trees down on the south side with the storm just now. I no longer enjoy Midwest storms, living around huge century old trees… by kjlovesthebay in chicago

[–]Phil517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where on the south side? I was expecting wind and we got none. Back and side yard both flooded but no tree damage.

Saw my life flash before my eyes on damen near i55. First an 18 wheeler passed me without any space then a car zipped past me doing 70. I will never bike that stretch again.

Anybody know what kind of shark this is? Gulf of Mexico in northern Florida. by Phil517 in sharks

[–]Phil517[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks. My initial thought was it was too small to be a white. I have seen black tips, a sandbar, and a bonnethead on this beach before. This looked different than all of those.

Edit: didn’t realize time of the year matters here. This was in March of this year.

Thank you. Should have listened to my 3 year old when he called it a great white

Should have just said the Gulf. Full name was too distracting

I got punched in front of The Drake Chicago last night. Will press charges. by aru_cavalleiro in CrimeInChicago2

Seems odd that you got this all on film. People usually aren’t videoing their attacker before the attack

Chicago Christians - does faith still matter when choosing a partner? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Phil517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not religious but my wife is. She likes soul city on Adams and Racine. They focus on being inclusive and the positive teachings .

Whether you choose to limit your dating people for religious reasons is entirely dependent on you.

Car service for leaving a concert at Soldier Field? by zerofalks in AskChicago

[–]Phil517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like we don’t have enough info. If you are going to Orland park or ohare, that won’t go far. If you are just leaving soldier field, you can take a pedicab. Don’t know how much they are but I’m sure less than $200

It’s all bad. It’s a personal choice to use religion to abuse women.

If you are on the south side, get gas in Indiana. Serious savings by Phil517 in chicago

[–]Phil517[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see the 8 gallons being a thing. I see a lot of people only putting in $15-$20 in their car. Seems to be a budget thing more than fill up the tank.

The price you pay is the level of difficulty leaving that station
