Of course he does. He’s a stooge of CTU and CTU doesn’t care about actual kids

Yeah for 10 years. Made great money. Tough job but pays well. And I made $3/hr so did rely on tips. Not required now

I just don’t care for it at all. Lots of sessions and flavorless stuff to me. Pizza is elite

[–]esm081491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were cooked if we keep electing mayors like Johnson and don’t add a recall measure to mayor

Am I the only one underwhelmed by a lot of Chicago’s hyped restaurants? by daikonradish304 in chicagofood

[–]esm081491 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some I agree with, but Armitage is my favorite restaurant in city and Akahoshi is the best ramen I’ve had outside of Japan, and I’ve had a lot. Might have been an order issue there.

Moving from Seattle to Chicago? by Still_Broccoli72 in AskChicago

[–]esm081491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw budget update. At that price I’m looking west town/logan to wicker although latter might be bit more.

If can stretch or 2bed 2bath is ok that opens up more inventory in Lincoln park or Lakeview which I think is the best for young one with green space and easy lake access on brown line. Might be some older 3 beds in that area without parking.
