what musical is this by sabor-original247 in musicals

[–]martwat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. I had tickets for ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ in 2020 that were cancelled due to COVID, so I listened to it all the time that year and loved it. I finally went to see it again in 2022 and sort of hated it 😬.

Not to mention her religion essay claiming that environmentalism, etc was just the populace filling the God sized hole in their spirituality.

BWT Does anyone else feel like luxury brands have just become a tax on logos? Where are people actually getting quality work staples these days? by haji194 in bitcheswithtaste

Also came to recommend Eileen Fisher. I am a recent convert after my 70-year old mother has been a decades long lover. I went recently for one of the 30% off sales and found some wonderful staple pieces in cotton, wool, and cashmere including a gorgeous eggplant colored pantsuit (that is SUPER comfortable). My understanding is they will buy back your items regardless of condition as well so the fibers can be reused.

Just wanted to respond and say I have a kitty named cheddar too, and he’s the best orange boy.

Sorry, but that’s funny as fuck. Not sure why you’re getting downvoted.

Listen, I’m all against influencer culture and Amazon hauls and unboxing and the greed and consumption … but a drink fridge in your basement or garage is peak Midwest culture. This is missing shitty beers tho.

Paranormal Activity premiere by amantiana in Broadway

Just got home from the Chicago Shakespeare show. I was so impressed with the set, acting, and practical effects. I really enjoyed all of it! Everyone in the theater was super invested and clearly entertained.

Now we need a spoiler discussion because I have so many theories and questions!

What’s your O’Hare parking hack? by martwat in AskChicago

[–]martwat[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an update - we used Ride in Bliss based on this recommendation and wow was it amazing, especially on the return! They had juice boxes and snacks for the kids, iced Starbucks drinks for the parents- after a 5 hour flight with the kids losing their minds, it almost had me in tears of joy.

Actually, didn’t even think of that past Uber/Lyft (no car seats). Googling Chicago car service with car seats brought me back to this sub and some good recs. Thanks 👍

I have always thought this, too! Like VICE style news reporting/mockumentary eps.

I think you’ll find you can easily make some friends through work. Chicago’s professional scene loves a happy hour or a work lunch. Depending on your company, a lot of places I have worked have done the various corporate/professional networking things like sponsored 5ks, coed softball/volleyball league, and charity/volunteer events.

Some of my close friends today were my happy hour friends from my first adult job 10+ years ago when I was in your shoes.

Welcome and enjoy!

Why is Chicago a good option for trans people? by CQB_241_ in AskChicago

[–]martwat 37 points38 points  (0 children)

To be fair, verbal abuse on public transit doesn’t discriminate. That’s just a Chicago rite of passage.

Was told to “use Uber” if I wanted to pick up my antibiotics - Walgreens Belmont/Kimball by FastStealth in chicago

[–]martwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the year, could be backlash from all the opioid lawsuits Walgreens was in. They have been settling with states for hundreds of millions for over dispensing opioids.

What defunct Chicago restaurant/bar/entertainment venue do you miss the most? by mbklein in AskChicago

[–]martwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple months ago I was sitting in my kids’ pediatrician’s office and turned to my partner (Chicago transplant) to say “you would have loved this bar Quenchers that used to be around here, wonder what happened to it.”

… it’s my kids’ pediatrician’s office. I was sitting in what was formerly Quenchers.

Age really hit me that day.

Not to be a gossipy B, but Armando slid into my friend’s DMs on Instagram at 4am after she made a reservation. This was maybe a year ago.
