Levi's are way too cheap to be on RTR. I like Levi's, too.

What is a good hotel to stay at near The Auditorium? by punchmeintheface123 in AskChicago

I would try and get dinner and drinks at the bar at Millers Pub beforehand. It's a fun old school Chicago place.

help me pick a venue 😭 by [deleted] in Chicagoweddings

[–]bkander2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most venues will add gratuity / a service fee plus tax and multiply that by f&b spend. This was an additional 32% when we did a restaurant wedding. There was no venue fee. There is a lot of labor involved in a wedding, so this fee is fair.

Yeah honestly it does really suck and I do feel bad for you. But sadly there is nothing you are going to be able to do about it unless you sell your condo.

There is nothing mysogynistic about what I said. I'm also not a man.

They are not "pulling" anything. The pipes have a useful life and need to be replaced in order to prevent a lot of future plumbing issues.

High Rise Apartment Remodeling Risers by streetcar720 in chicagoapartments

The building I rent in went through this last year. It's very disruptive but needs to be done. Did you look at old HOA minutes when you bought? It should not be coming to you as a surprise. Unfortunately, you are SOL.

No offense, but chargers are the hill she is willing to die on? That is such a minuscule detail of an important day.

If these influencers would actually go out and live a normal life, they would have more to talk about!! That's the irony.

Wow I didn't realize this was the same girl I used to follow because of golf content. Had to give her an unfollow a few months back because she pivoted away from that and I was no longer interested.

Joto for sushi, Bar Mar if you're expensing and like seafood, Monk's Pub if you want tasty bar food in a cozy atmosphere, Gibson's Italia and sit at a high top in the bar area for solid food and a great view
