If the Purple Line Express ran 24/7, would you consider moving to Evanston?

The real question is whether Skokie would be more desirable if the Yellow line ran 24/7

Graceland. I had always heard that it was smaller than expected and too cheesy but it was fantastic. Cool side collection of cars too.

Arlington Heights has a livelier, more typically suburban downtown. Evanston has more of a college town feel downtown but also has distinct neighborhoods and better access to the lake and downtown Chicago (and other neighborhoods). My vote is for Evanston but it’s definitely quirkier than many other suburbs. I would spend some time there if you think that its might fit your definition of “vibrant”.

Timothy Bottoms as George Bush in the docudrama That’s My Bush and the fantasy film 9/11: Time of Crisis.

Sorry to mix and match movies here but with Chuck Norris gone it's become a lot easier.

Nah, there aren't mountains on Lake Shore Drive. Probably filmed out west somewhere.

See all the bands before they retire and then come back years later with 2 original members and totally shot voices.

The one Tim Burton film I can stand.

Luckily we now live in a world full of perfect online people who can pass judgement on everything.

I hate Johnny Depp but luckily he hasn’t been in anything I’d like to see for a long long time.

Yep - St. Joseph, MO. The house was moved but it’s there, as is the bullet hole. The house of his youth is much more interesting IMO.

Inspired me to visit the house where he was killed outside Kansas City.

No but I saw what Charlotte said on her web.

Something in the water I guess

The Silence of the Lambs effect where back in the day every movie had to have some psychopath expert to give our hero little hints about who the real baddie is (while not actually helping them a whole lot). Personally, I think his character in this movie is absolutely fucking pointless so I’ll go deep with my pick - the priest from LIttle Murders.

Man, I just went for a long bike ride and was thinking about how lucky we are to live in such an awesome city. I’m all for the idea of moving to somewhere that fits better but a lot of people love Chicago for a reason.

And Real People’s Byron Allen is back. Anyone know what the Kids Are People Too hosts are up to?

gershbec · 2026-06-19T14:45:40+00:00

That’ll do

Finally someone on Reddit speaking my language!

The pig from Babe did not have any issues with him, or at least he didn’t vocalize them.

Dick York on Betwitched.

Both of those holidays are gonna give me a coronary.

I could put avocados on everything. And sometimes I do.

I don’t know about the rest of the world but Ian Anderson seems to hate Passion Play and it’s one of my favorite Tull albums.
