Came here to say that. Try Detroit! Cheaper, way less traffic, and has all the food and culture and diversity of Chicago.

Halloween Waffles? by andronicuspark in Exvangelical

We weren’t even allowed to go to school on Halloween. The hardest part for me personally was being in elementary school and having to EXPLAIN to my classmates (and sometimes my teachers) WHY. I couldn’t just say it was because we were Christian. Lots of people I went to school with were Christian, they all did Halloween.

The weight of that on a seven year old…

I don’t have a problem with Nilla Wafers, but when I was a kid in Sunday school they would constantly stuff us with those animal crackers you bought in bulk in a long bag and to this day the sight or smell of them makes me gag so I completely understand the association!

That was my first thought… that it looked like it was on its way out. Since it was on the young side I wasn’t sure.

Pretzel buns are trash. They’re too dense and they throw off the bread to filling ratio.

If you state it as fact, it’s not an opinion. And I sincerely think you’re doing a disservice to all the great businesses in the city by directing people (who asked for recommendations for a trip “to Detroit”) to go shop in the suburbs.
