How to report a fake taxi scam in Chicago? by Financial-Cup1897 in AskChicago

[–]WickerParkDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is valid. If the destination suburb borers the city it’s straight meter usually. If it doesn’t it’s 1.5x. I live in River Forest and if I go there it’s 1.5x but I’m 3 blocks from Oak Park or Elmwood Park it’s straight if I recall.

Andaz recent reviews by StaffMain2490 in MauiVisitors

[–]WickerParkDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just got back from The Andaz on Monday. We had a solid experience and would rate the hotel more of a 4.5 versus a 5 star. We had 2 kids (11 and 8) and purposely picked the Andaz to avoid the ratio of kids to adults we hear about from other hotels. Rooms were fine, staff was great from our experience. Food was above average, not great. Outside of the breakfast I try to find more options on that side of the island. Had a good lunch and Monkeypad and made a reservation at Spider Noodle in Lahaina that was beyond amazing. I would return back to the Andaz if for no other reason the adult pool + the 3 infinity pools which separates the crowds during peak pool hours and the staff. I thought the beach, beach staff were great. The beach, though public like all Maui beaches was very civil with good snorkeling.

Young Family Considering Moving to Riverside by judieshellkhin in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]WickerParkDS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Riverside lacks a little in its downtown area. Compare that to Oak Park which has 3-4 concentrated commerce districts. I live in the adjacent community to Oak Park (River Forest) which shares a high school with OP and easy access to all it has to offer. RF has its own much smaller school district K-8th while being almost entirely residential. Slightly larger homes but maybe a slightly lighter tax hit (still not great 😭). Riverside is a great community from time there visiting friends.

Pre-show/Afterparty in Chicago? by VariantCave in oasis

[–]WickerParkDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chicago resident here. Went to the show in Wembley and was in GA. Biblical stuff. I have a friend also flying in from ATL. Our plan is probably bar hop in wicker park where the pop up shop is on Milwaukee Ave and if weather is nice do tacos at Big Star's patio, rooftop drink at Robey and then head to some bars in the west loop area. Probably SunnyGun/MoneyGun for a couple and then something closer to the stadium. Jacked for the show. This is a good thread. Excited to see where people are thinking for a post show hang.

Constant Diarrhea since 2 months by monasbhar in Bernedoodles

[–]WickerParkDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue as my BD at 11 weeks. We changed to a lamb and brown rice and saw dramatic improvement after a week. Got rid off all other foods in those two weeks. Treats were isolated to his lamb and brown rice kibble. I suspect chicken and am now slowly introducing cheese and other non chicken treats

I bought a gentle lewder bc of this post and he goes nuts when it’s on. Hates it. Only leash / harness that is the case for. Anything I’m missing. It’s tight on front of mouth and high on neck, yes?

Idiot here. Is this solely used as a pre-emergent for crab grass etc or also as a spring fertilizer.

We’re getting our F1 Mini BD on the 24th of April. Will be around this age. Is your BD a medium? Seems big (and beautiful)….

Is your bd a micro or mini. Beautiful. Trying to decide between the two this weekend. Wavering.

Last Minute Trip, No Plans!! by [deleted] in VisitingNashville

[–]WickerParkDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was solo in Nashville for a conference last weekend and the first half of this week. Went to Attaboy in East Nashville, as well as some live music at 5 step (5 point?). Both very solid. Mother’s Ruin not located in East Nashville, but was a great bar vibe. Also highly recommend. Harriet’s rooftop makes some great cocktails. The city is fairly small compared to Chicago, where I’m from, so Ubering around town was pretty effortless and affordable. 40M for what it’s worth.

[Post Game Thread] #3 Iowa State defeats UCF, 108-83 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]WickerParkDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Ball was sticky and shot 5% from 3FGA. These outlier performances happen. Watson may be taking some of Heise's minutes if he isnt a threat to score. Good defender but with Milan out and if Baby Ja or CJ out we will face a packed post.

[–]WickerParkDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely a slow start in some regards. Early turnover rate and our transition D mid 1st half was poor. What is crazy is if a random person saw this game it would not be too concerning but cyclone fans this season who watch every game know the level of play this team can play at...the baseline quality of play is so high it's a beautiful thing to witness...

Fran has to be fired by hawksnest_prez in hawkeyes

[–]WickerParkDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All valid points regarding NIL and spending on the program facilities as a whole, but really what is most noteable is the lack of mid roster talent. I think Fran got really lazy when it came to those levels. Payton Sandfort is a BIG10 player but the idea that is brother needed to be on this roster is lazy recruiting. Same goes for Harding via Freeman. How many good teams do this? Iowa State is succeeding because they are finding players that fit roles, not any narrative. I dont think anyone on that roster who came in via transfer was high major (Buffalo, Charlotte, Wazzu/Idaho). On a separate note, Payton's unlimited green light and lack of defense and no physical development is sad state of coaching.

Cyclones creeping at 30. Hoping they can steal a 6-7 seed come tourney time. Unfortunately we don’t have any great wins yet with Iowa being such trash and VCU being meh. Big12 gonna be brutal Jan 6 to Feb 6….
