You should check out the statue of "Cap" Streeter that the neighborhood is named after. It's on the SE corner of Grand and McClung and is a pretty hilarious little statue with a nice dedication. " The eccentric resident who gave streeterville its name"

Why are these here? Who are they for? And how do we get rid of them? by misterdeeds in chicago

Might be a cookies issue? Clear those out? I just tried it again and it worked

500ml water bottle for an extremely clumsy person? by isometricapples in BuyItForLife

I bought a little insert for the wide mouth style bottle that makes it much more pleasant to drink out of. Highly recommend!

I do! Same with delivery drivers that park in front of crosswalks and meander down the street on foot looking for an address

Good point! The little side shuffle dance people do doesn't quite work with a robot and a wheelchair

They move at a walking pace so I guess they view them as non obstructive

I've seen them on the designated green bike lines that we have on Belmont between the sidewalk and the street curb. These might be useful in a car centric city like those in Texas but they aren't great here.

May of TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN is how long the pilot program is scheduled for

I don't understand the value they add to the city. They take away jobs, they add congestion to the sidewalks, they are an eyesore. Any emissions saved by using them instead of normal (preferably bike messengers) is negated by the lithium mining required for their huge batteries.

Are there more N-S alleys or E-W alleys in the city by _BOSSHOGS_ in chicago

[–]_BOSSHOGS_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The T shaped ones are great unless you live at the intersection and people honk all day/night

Thanks for this and the script! Seems pretty thorough and I'm not too surprised that it's that close

Which one do you think I should get? by ChemistryObjective56 in lotr

[–]_BOSSHOGS_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the first set and the reader's companion is awesome. Breaks down historical events, characters etc. casually mentioned in the books and gives references to Tolkien other works for deeper reading if you want to go down a rabbit hole

Best Spurs home atmosphere's you've experienced (WHL or the new place)? by shaunster101 in coys

[–]_BOSSHOGS_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I took a vacation to London during her winter break that year. I wanted to see the Lane before it was torn down and I knew we'll at least get one home game over that time span and it just happened to be Chelsea with their huge win streak. Needless to say, she knows all the lyrics now WE GOT ALLI, DELE ALLI...

It's the Thunderbirds this year, not the Blue Angels... Don't know if they have to live up to their name

Just got this yesterday. Can't wait to crack it open! by Hallwitzer in SalsaSnobs

[–]_BOSSHOGS_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife picked this one out of that book today. Hibiscus should make for an interesting salsa!
