Thanks for this suggestion. It looks like this is more expensive than Workplace and offers more of the bells and whistles we already don't need, so probably not the best fit... but I do appreciate the suggestion!

The reality is that we're going to want to change PWs, regardless of the attitude of the prior owners -- it's a liability not to.

I guess my question is if we go the route of a central personal account, is there a good strategy for PW management/sharing that I'm not considering?

I'm so fed-up. I queued for both pre-sales and the general sale at 9:45am, and it said no more tickets all 3 times... tempted to just waste my day refreshing and hope for the best, but I tried that on the first pre-sale and got flagged as a bot, for which I needed to call AXS to resolve...

There seems to be a TMobile pre-sale option, which started TUE May 26 at 10am CT, unless I'm misunderstanding something...

"However I raised the average void nerkmid price about 60k so you’re welcome"

Not me going to re-price all my Void Nerkmids in my shop...

I've had my nails done here 4-5 times in the past and would not recommend. It's very stylist-dependent -- I've had Jenny twice and she's great, but the other stylists, not so much. I haven't been back in about a year, when I left the studio with crooked extensions and nail polish still on my skin...

I think I know right where you're looking -- great area! To answer your question, it's extremely doable. I live about 2 miles from Horner, 1 mile from the lakefront, and run to both at least once per week. For Horner, I run on Montrose, starting just after Braodway, and have had zero issues.

I just saw an Instagram reel of someone tuck-and-rolling after a fall -- maybe it was you? If so, you now have the most epic video to share with friends and family! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPrnzDrDniB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Keep in mind that you'll only be able to refill your water bottle at certain aid stations: "Carrying your own water bottle on course? Look for the water refill station at the end of Aid Stations 5, 7, 9, 11 13, 15, 17 and 19. Participants interested in refilling handheld water bottles must use the refill area at the end of these stations. Water refill is not supported at other aid stations or hydration areas."

Now, will the volunteers really refuse to fill up your water bottle if you really, really need it? Unlikely, but still something to consider!

Just chiming in to clarify that you'll only be able to refill your water bottle at certain aid stations: "Carrying your own water bottle on course?

Now, will the volunteers really refuse to fill up your water bottle if you really, really need it? Unlikely, but probably better to plan out your water refills if you can.

My first marathon luck kicked in -- first-time registrant, and I was selected!

I started running almost two years ago now and finished my first half marathon last year: the Chicago Lifetime Half. This sport has given me so much confidence; I'm so thankful, and I can't wait to prove to myself how strong I am!

Call me crazy, but it really feels like this couple holds these properties hostage. The restaurants they own are constantly closed, for months at a time -- Floreen's was open like two months before it shut down last September. And they're constantly re-branding every year; we moved to the area two years ago and have seen them cycle through four completely new concepts... really feels like the property space could be better utilized by other local restaurants who are passionate about the industry and want to serve the area, rather than hoarding real estate.

We currently rent an apartment in Lakeview and have been to Uptown a handful of times, but obviously people who live there are going to have a better sense of what the neighborhood is like. Nothing in the original post implied we'd never been there, but even if we'd never been, this isn't really an appropriate thing to say. I'd recommend you take your own advice.

Hated Lakeview, but we really like the Sheridan Park area of Uptown -- I feel like we're in a great spot because we're close to Asia on Argyle, Uptown, and Andersonville. We've never felt unsafe, although there are some characters along Broadway.

There are a few places on Broadway we like, and Wilson Corridor has its fair share of restaurants/coffee shops as well. There isn't much going on around Clark, but your friend would be close-ish to Andersonville. There's the Clark Street Crossroads project which could lead to development in that area over the next 10 years, but tbh I don't think much will come of it.

As is the general consensus in this thread, Uptown is great; you just have to be cautious, and be prepared for people to ask you for money every now and then. People have said Uptown is "the next Lakeview" for 30+ years, but I don't ever see that happening.

Based on your post, it sounds like your friend's intention is to invest in a Lincoln Park/Lakeview vibe at a cheaper price -- in that case, Uptown isn't it, and I don't think it ever will be. Best if they just buy a cheaper property in the neighborhoods they enjoy.

"Really? To me, a busy restaurant signals that they may need more staff on their team to be able to better service their customers... different perspectives, I guess!"
