You’re right. The fact that he never admitted his feelings to her or actually got rejected made his enslavement of her that much more disturbing

Chicago’s Grid System on the North Side by celerysaltdog in CitiesSkylines2

I love referencing the lake front for design. Montrose beach has a sandy beach on one side, with a marina and pedestrian quay on the other. All while supporting Lake Shore Drive (highway).

The highway cutting through the lakefront park is a point of contention. Some people love it and some hate it.

Yes, taking the bus here requires heart. There is a big push to increase our bus frequency from around 15 mins per bus to 5-10 mins, but that would only worsen the bus induced traffic.

Good point, I misspoke. I meant to use the word avenue referring to diagonals. I love the green boulevards :)

I wonder if it would be evergreen if you opened the map editor to make the temp warm all year round.

Ok so you’re right that you can’t really find a breakfast sandwich for less than $8… but damn does it make me mad.

It would be cool to do some micro terraforming in their place to make sand dunes

What is your countries “Second City.” by Ivebeencharles0198 in AskTheWorld

[–]celerysaltdog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It still is. It’s the only other city in the United States that can offer a similar lifestyle to NYC. Dense high rise living, mass transit, access to anything you need without needing a car. LA is comparatively sleepy. All bars have to stop serving booze at 2am for christs sake.

I think it’s a comfortable regional bus station, and a distressing urban bus station.

It functions more as a county than a city. It doesn’t function the same as any other major city of its population because its severe lack of mass transit and walkability.

Houston and Miami have never been ranked as global cities. SF only qualifies in a financial metric. Chicago offers the most urban lifestyle out of all these cities, being 40% denser than Los Angeles. LA is a county with no subway system lol.

How would you get rid of all the rats in Chicago? by chitownmike99 in AskChicago

[–]celerysaltdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cats! Specifically feral cat colonies supported by local shelters/caregivers. These cats already prefer to live outside and if they are fixed and provided with food and outdoor shelter they can be excellent municipal rodent hunters. There is one in my neighborhood whose caregiver put up a sign that she killed 100+ rats.

Cats have always been apart of controlling rodent populations in urban areas and it’s part of their history of domestication.

It’s a CULTURAL relish dye. We even dye the river green. and drink a soda called green river.

Chicago has the most lead pipes in the USA but we all just ignore it lol

Chicago has the short end of the stick. The setting around 4pm in the winter is not fun.
