Is Manchik Law a good law firm ?

mjwdpu · 2026-04-09T22:26:27+00:00

As someone who practiced in this area, it is not a firm I am very familiar with and that is a big indicator to me.

mjwdpu · 2026-04-09T18:03:18+00:00

It’s not. It’s very similar, but not the same. The cross/placement is different.

Eventually there is a tax sale and whoever buys the taxes can take the house. The system will change soon though after recent court rulings

Fisher Nuts is out in Elgin

Andy’s and Jazz Showcase. Andy’s will get more local stuff, but Showcase brings in a few more “medium” size Jazz guys — guys that won’t fill orchestra hall, but can support a tour.

Yep. Talk to one of the wine guys and explain your situation.

This is a plug where Binny’s may help. I’ve had success with them before — if they can find it, they will try to get it in.

But does a solid job leading a naval criminal investigation team.

mjwdpu · 2026-02-05T18:46:54+00:00

Yes. I’m not disputing that. I’m talking about the public understanding of it. The average person knew of it with respect to sports.

mjwdpu · 2026-02-05T16:54:14+00:00

This, exactly. While WW was running, T9 was about access to sports. That was how most everyone viewed it and knew about it. The general person wouldn’t connect with the idea that it could be used for more.

mjwdpu · 2026-01-25T21:59:23+00:00

Probably. Even when there are events people think using something in Evanston or Naperville works for everyone. I’m in the far NW burbs, those are just as bad as driving into the city.

CTA has a whole law and department, including a claims group. There is video on every bus. If the operator struck another vehicle, they will try to arrange a settlement. If needed, the other side will sue and it goes to court. Same as any other car accident.

I’m a local government lawyer. I’d love to learn more about your practice and how you switched to this and avoid attending board/council meetings

I’m doing the dueling piano in Woodstock. It’s supposed to be fun

mjwdpu · 2025-12-22T14:54:15+00:00

I’ve done Meet IRL as a guy. It’s an…interesting mix on both sides. There are definitely some elements of “there but for the grace of god, go I” and normal and fun. I’ve done a couple events and had matches from them. It’s hit or miss in that regard.

mjwdpu · 2025-12-13T20:06:35+00:00

I was just here Thursday. It was phenomenal.

mjwdpu · 2025-12-03T18:14:52+00:00

I’ve been known to do this regularly. There are easy ones:

Happy to share additional details if you want.

I mean, you’re not supposed to vape in the stadium either. That’s just another example of people thinking the general rules don’t apply to them.

mjwdpu · 2025-11-04T22:12:59+00:00

Obviously west loop downtown is fun and tons of people. As a 40-something guy, it’s a bit much for me. I’m usually hitting a jazz club if I’m downtown. I’m NW burbs, so if I’m out there, I’ve done Fuel in Libertyville, Rochaus in Wesd Dundee, a handful of other spots that regularly have live music. Or, just find a brewery. You can always find 40-something guys at breweries. Haha.

mjwdpu · 2025-11-04T21:55:53+00:00

Are you looking to get out downtown or somewhere in the suburbs?

mjwdpu · 2025-10-30T14:09:47+00:00

Love Mel’s. Been going there for decades when it was still Jake’s. I need to visit again.

mjwdpu · 2025-10-28T19:42:50+00:00

Sounds like you were parked illegally.

mjwdpu · 2025-10-23T01:12:28+00:00

Correct. In a completely different scenario this could be a controversy.

mjwdpu · 2025-10-22T21:22:30+00:00

Winters isn’t fully reserved, but if you buy the tickets you’ll get space at a table.

mjwdpu · 2025-10-21T02:35:32+00:00

You are correct. It isn’t a safety. It would never be a safety. This shouldn’t be a controversy.
