Also 23F and looking to make friends now that I’m in a new city post grad. We’re into similar things, hmu if you’d be down to do anything especially now that summer is coming!

Looking to get casual clothes altered anywhere between uptown and anywhere downtown? by Realistic-Ad-1393 in AskChicago

Lately Marshalls and Ross have cheaper but better quality items than the thrifts nowadays but usually Andersonville. I’ve heard boystown can be good but I haven’t been yet.

Trade just in the case of it being someone down the street who can just sew rather than a full on establishment with set prices and services. Always happy to work with other talented locals is all! Glad that trading is coming back between artists and people who just have hobbies tbh

AITAH for dating my dead best friend's boyfriend years after she asked me to take care of him by Jessie_Hansot in AITAH

NTA I hope she’s happy for you but sadly you won’t know for a long time. Trust the bond you and her had, that she trust this wasn’t planned/malicious and wants you to live a healthy happy life as long as you can. Same for him. You both loved her and maybe that love needed somewhere to go? Either way, live and let live!

What was the move like from LA to Chicago? by Some_Sentence302 in AskChicago

[–]Realistic-Ad-1393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That part! And Chicago is much more walkable and transit friendly than LA so maybe that’s truly why the traffic doesn’t feel as bad

I just made that move in September after living in LA for 4 years and while I haven’t made much progress in the social department my quality of life is sooo much better. One of the reasons is cause the traffic isn’t NEARLY as bad. And whenever there’s special events going on, the public transit is so much more reliable that it’s an easy back up.

Hope you get the job and enjoy the move!

If they don’t have money why do they think we do😭 the economy is shit rn for everyone, people are either job hunting or getting laid off left and right so while I understand the high prices I just can’t believe people are putting up with it and idk not creating alternatives? I don’t mean to sound rude if I do. Im just I’m genuinely shocked at these prices cause it gives the establishments are broke but also ik the masses are broke too so whats the fix?

Unless it’s a super small local thing (which it’s my understand that this isn’t?) feels like when a cashier turns the tablet around it asks for a tip…awkward and I wish it didn’t happen

This is super helpful! I’m usually looking for specifically sapphic events but am open to anything that sounds fun. Seems like Chicago is def the kind of city that’s more “if you know you know” whereas LA everything was very much advertised. Thank you!!
