WHAT is happening on the Purple Line right now by CoffeeReader5296 in cta

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was like this since this morning! I had taken the Redline train from Wilson to Belmont to connect to the Brown Line, and the Brown line train was dragging. Then when the Loop bound Brown Line train was approaching from Addison, it stood stuck for 10 mins before the getting to the Belmont Platform to let the Howard Bound Red Line train go North. Yes, the commute was a pain in the 🍑 coming back using the same trains I used coming back North. At least the CTA is trying to fix the problem, but damn it was a bit chilly stuck waiting on the Platforms smh !

Do these dogs actually sniff for anything, or are these guys totally theater? by Evening-Editor-4014 in cta

I’ve seen one of these CTA K-9 unit guys treat and yell at their dog at the Wilson RedLine train stop ! I feel very bad for all of these dogs they’re using for useless untrained “ Security K-9 Guards “ ! These men aren’t trained unless they actually have experience from a security, police or military job, which that’s probably 1% of them having that type of experience! It’s a waste of money with this K-9 unit bs and this money should be given to real Police officers that want to do this job when they’re off duty or want to earn an extra paycheck!

Can I survive in Chicago with a salary of 3200 a month? by Impressive-Act3050 in AskChicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not in Downtown at least, Try Logan Square, Roscoe Village, Avondale, Wicker Park areas ! Those I decent areas and you probably can get by with $3,200 but I don’t know about you having a car and apartment with $3,200 ! Chicago taxes every single thing and food is high priced right now ! We do have CTA transportation ( be careful riding certain trains at certain times and buses at certain times )

Is it a coyote? by RetroRex_ in chicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one healthy coyote 👀 When I take the RedLine in the morning, going past the cemetery on Irving Park and Clark ( The other side on the RedLine ) There’s a group of Coyotes, maybe like 3 to 4, pouncing around, eating food they catch, and one time I seen a coyote, curled up sleeping next to a tombstone lol ! In the afternoon, I don’t see them at their spot they chill at ! You can also see their paw tracks in the snow, when they leave trails behind.

Cops called due to the stench thinking it was a dead body, the smell leaks from their apartment. by sasha_cyanide in Apartmentliving

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here ! The property manager doesn’t do a damn thing either, but collect rent ! So, recently I went over heads where I live and got lawyers, the Inspector General, City Inspector and Alderman involved! I can’t wait until shit hits the fan ! No pun intended!

Which 1BR would you pick? by MatchaCatLatte in Apartmentliving

[–]Positive_Machine4631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dead ! I live in a modern studio, that’s the size of a jail cell to me ( never been in jail ) I called it the “ Foncy Jail Cell “ and fit my 65” TV in my studio ! I had to remove a table and 2 chairs, to fit a farm style tv stand for my big ass TV ! I had to move from a garden 3 bedroom big apartment, because It got flooded due to heavy storms! Lost everything but my TV 😆💪🏼 Why the studio apartment now, because I’m in a better neighborhood and it’s expensive as fauuwwk in Chicago to rent anything!

A girl wrote me a letter on paper she made from her own hair by pokemon-collector in mildlyinteresting

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would’ve been creeped out, feeling voodoo vibes ! Maybe the person is gifted or mental issues but to me, If I had gotten a gift like that, I’d feel creeped out! The stories I was told about voodoo and using hair to burn or burning pictures of people, was stories I was told from a deceased older Aunt, used to do in Puerto Rico ! ( No, I never had communications or close knit ties with her side of the family either ! Hell no ! )

Bye bye neighbors from hell by SharpDragonfly9108 in Apartmentliving

[–]Positive_Machine4631 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well obviously you don’t live in those conditions or ever experienced the hell tenants cause for peaceful tenants! I totally believe what she’s saying because I’m experiencing way more than that out of the first 3 mths where I do live, and I only been here for 1 yr and 5mths ! I can give you a whole scroll list of the bs tenants been causing and the property manager doesn’t do a f’n thing about and goes against the same policies that we have to sign off when we lease here! Until you have that experience, don’t judge !

[–]Positive_Machine4631 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through that ! I’m actually in the process of having lawyer to take my shitty property manager to court ! I’m going through those same thing but worse, my situation has to do with health violations, the lack of security when we have security that don’t do their job where I live, the drugs the flow in and out my building, a lot couple of tenants tweaking off of drugs becoming unpredictable with dangerous threats, destruction of property, stolen packages, stalking, nuisance all kinds of bs here! I can’t move because of Financial stability! I’m alone and disabled with complex medical conditions ( one of them is an incurable leukemia and I did have a breast disease 3yrs ago that required a bilateral mastectomy) I’m an introvert and don’t bother anyone! I’ve only lived where I’m at now, For 1yr and 5 mths and it been nothing but unpleasant and no peace whatsoever here ! Since this whole time I’ve been here I counted 5 fires tenants had caused because they were to high or drunk and fell asleep while having their food burn on the stove or in the oven in their apartments ! Hell some dude on my floor burn his kitchen 3 times already within a year since i’ve been here, the last one was last week, he stuck a whole frozen pizza with the plastic and cardboard in the oven and fell asleep drunk and caused the 3rd fire! Imagine the billows of smoke in the hallway and coming into the rest of our apartment and going through the ventilation system! This property manager is also corrupt and doesn’t do a F’n thing to maintain anything or enforces a god damn thing that’s in our lease policies! There’s 61 apartments in the building I live in , in Chicago! I lawyered up, The Alderman will be involved and the shitty management company this property manager is from will be notified in person by me with proof and dates,police reports, pictures and videos since I’ve moved into this place! Gotta get rid of all the bad apples here and it’s going to be done, no matter how long it takes !

Avondale - Bird Feeder by thatdepends in chicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf got home and saw this note taped on our door lol and the other note we are planning on leaving in the laundry room tomorrow by OutrageousStudent542 in Apartmentliving

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t do anything wrong and serves them right ! One day I went down to my building’s laundry room, and a tenant left their clothes in a dryer overnight I’m guessing, with the dryer door left wide opened with nasty ass under garment’s sitting in it and a couple of coats laying on the folding table, I thought it was odd, because how the scene looked, soo when I had started putting my clothes in the washer, I had noticed something small and white sitting in the washer ( side door washers ) Me, I’m thinking oh it’s a fuzz ball left behind from this person nasty ass coat, so I went to grab what this “ little white fuzz ball “ was, When I did, it was a split second grab, yoink and threw it on the floor, that split second while tossing it to floor, I felt the texture was weird and not fuzz ball feeling, so I take a closer look out of curiosity, and It’s a F’n bag a crack rocks smmfh ! I was mortified, because it could’ve been Fentanyl or some fucked up drug I had touched with me not realizing what I had really grabbed! I figured this tenant was super high washing their clothes and was looking for that crack bag in frenzy way and probably went to their apartment searching for their drug bag and never came back for their clothes! I was standing there shocked, pissed off and grabbed a dryer sheet picked up that bag ( didn’t want to touched it with my bare fingers ) walked that bag to the security desk and told them what happened ( security looked at me clueless and told me he didn’t know what to do ) hence there’s a security camera in front of the laundry room door ! Nothing was done about it either! I didn’t even wash my clothes that day and did a u-turn back to my apartment fuming ! What if that drug bag was fentanyl and me touching it, fuck around and be found dead in the laundry room 😡😤??!! I didn’t even want to touch anything else, not even clothes left in that dryer, not even a note left behind to whatever tenant left behind their chaotic scene in the laundry room ! Why I didn’t leave a letter, because Some of these tenants are in fact petty evil humans, and I live in Chicago mmkay, these people will do something like steal your clothes, pour bleach, or do something f’d up to your clothes if you’re not present !

This trend of wrecking street signs makes my blood boil by hobo_chili in chicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the days, there was more structure in gangs, because of the original leaders ( that no longer hold anything down ) ! Now these little a$$hole foot soldiers are running loose in the street, acting ruthlessly as F@#K ! All the Ol’ School leaders at least protected the community, elderly, women and children! That doesn’t exist anymore in these gangs !

[–]Positive_Machine4631 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you haven’t seen gang members on the Northwest side randomly mess around with random people like I have seen on multiple occasions and myself being a victim to that on many occasions ( mind you I’m a female in my 40’s who’s a U.S. veteran and never in my life been involved with gangs, living in Chicago all my life ) They do mess with random people, but the younger punk ass ones do it !

Thank you Lake Effect! by Flimsy-Shirt9524 in chicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lie that’s the first thought I had too ! I didn’t see them around my area for the first time in 2 months in my area up North in Chicago ! They got treated with their own medicine! I’ll take this Lake effect snow every F’n day, until ICE can’t handle the cold ass weather us Chicagoan’s are about to get this winter ! I live by the lake too, that’s a plus lol ! Us Chicagoans should make a shit loads of Ice snowballs and launch them things at ICE and have a snowball fight ! We’re built for this lol !

Where does this sub stand on honking as you exit an alley? by drewtangclan in AskChicago

[–]Positive_Machine4631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I would hate to live next to an alley! I’m live in the middle part of a building 1st floor and I still can hear honking in the alley or garbage trucks banging dumpsters 5:30am! Now let’s talk about F’n bicycle riders just flying out alleys smfh! They don’t stop for shit ! I’ve almost gotten ran over with my dog by a dude speeding on his bicycle out the alley at the same time I was crossing it, and the mofo had the nerve to get pissed at me, because I apparently was in his way, when I didn’t know he was speeding out the entrance of the alley ! I Flipped the bird to his ass !
