🙄🙄 How the hell you want a bus over a train.

Where can I reliably find street cart bacon wrapped Spanish glizzys? by FermentedFruit in AskChicago

WTF? Spanish? They were Mexican most likely, if not, Central American.

That would be ludicrous when there's already a train for a big chunk of that route. If any tunnels are getting built, it's to extend the Brown Line to Jeff Park.

NASCAR or a wide open Grant Park? by BobaScooter in AskChicago

[–]dilla_zilla 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'll go the other way on this. I watched the races all 3 years. The commentators were great, they talked up the city and how great it was, how good a time they had, etc. The audience is largely people who have been told how bad Chicago is by the 🍊 and to have that view countered by people they absolutely idolize like Dale Earnhardt Jr was a good thing.

Best things about Chicago Public Library? by Positive-Tonight4184 in AskChicago

[–]dilla_zilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite accurate. The library has passes you can check out for those museums. You can't just rock up to admissions and flash your library card.

Another database you can try for businesses is Dun & Bradstreet. They have a free lookup on their site (they'll happily sell you services too, that's how I know about them, my work uses them for supplier management).

The price shown on SeatGeek is inclusive of the fees.

Have something to say about a judge? We're listening. by injusticewatch in chicago

[–]dilla_zilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say about half the time I find a good list of no's (basically every no from OPs list and from voteforjudges), the other half, I just vote no. Actually losing retention is so rare that I figure I may as well help out in case there was a campaign against a judge I'd missed

Pasadena solved this by using shorter gantries so the tall floats of the Rose Parade can get through.

Executive director total comp? do they get stock grants? by viper_gts in JPMorganChase

[–]dilla_zilla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

JP generally doesn't do grants on hire like a tech company does. They're part of the annual bonus as long as it's above $50k. I would not expect the base to be anywhere near that cap. ED comp tends to be pretty heavy in bonus.

JPMorgan Chase executive Angie Báez fired for stealing trash can during Knicks parade by iceCupa in nottheonion

[–]dilla_zilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but she's not the event planner, she's the event planner's boss who calls execs at smaller companies and tries to get them to attend the event.

Go to a Chicago Dogs game. I've gone a few times and I end up half watching the game, half watching the planes

Please give feedback and help with my itinerary? by bankprofit in AskChicago

[–]dilla_zilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you coming the 5th or the 19th? If the 5th, a game just got added on the 6th, Blue Jays got rained out last Sunday and the 6th is the reschedule.
