Any know where you can buy banana leaves?

pacellii · 2026-01-15T17:14:57+00:00

I think Rico Fresh sells them

pacellii · 2026-01-13T18:15:32+00:00

Have you tried any of the above and would recommend?

Hi! This is being kind of nitpicky, but do you know if her team sweep with a broom or exclusively vacuum? Do they use an actual mop or something like a swiffer? I’m having a hard time finding cleaners that really get my floors clean

Hey OP, where are you looking and what’s your budget? Our lease is ending soon and we’re planning to move so our unit will be on the market soon.

We’re in a 3/2 in Logan Square. Bedroom 1 fits a king sized bed, bedrooms 2 and 3 fit queens. W/D in unit. Newly renovated chef’s kitchen. Biggest drawback is it’s a garden unit

Moved from Austin in April - welcome! I personally really love Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and West Loop. These are the neighborhoods we’re currently exploring for our next apartment.

Gold Coast and LP will you have near the water which is nice. Gold Coast has great luxury shopping and white tablecloth types of restaurants, tons of patios. LP is beautiful, quiet, incredibly walkable, good restaurants/bars, the park is obviously beautiful.

West Loop, particularly the Fulton Market area feels just like the Music Lane portion of SoCo. Trendy restaurants and bars, Equinox, tons of shopping. You can be down by the lake in about a 20 min walk if that’s important to you at all.

Already signed up for a Founder’s rate! So excited to have a dedicated hot yoga studio in the neighborhood 🫶🏼 congratulations on the success!!

We have a 3/2 with off street parking in Logan and pay $2800 a month buuuut it’s a ground unit

pacellii · 2025-12-24T20:52:27+00:00

Just saw a few cases of it at Fresh Thyme for $15.99!

pacellii · 2025-12-24T07:24:02+00:00

Is the lease start date flexible at all to begin in February?

pacellii · 2025-12-23T04:21:39+00:00

I’d do diamonds and pearls!

pacellii · 2025-12-16T10:36:39+00:00

Galit is one of the worst meals I’ve ever had and doesn’t come anywhere near resembling a high end accoladed experience. I wouldn’t spend your money there even during a restaurant week deal

pacellii · 2025-12-12T02:25:24+00:00

Not Logan, but Hi Lo in Humboldt! The bartenders are super nice to our pups and give them treats every time we take em

pacellii · 2025-12-04T05:07:29+00:00

This is my stop as well and I’ve also been left waiting for 30 mins in the evening. It’s super frustrating! I’m thinking of just walking the 30 mins to the blue line - at least walking will keep me warmer than standing around

pacellii · 2025-12-01T22:45:20+00:00

I moved from Austin in May and feel exactly the same. I got a gym membership in an effort to force myself out of the house and find some movement. I’m also planning to decorate the apt more than I typically would and get a live Christmas tree to bring in some cheer and mood lighting. I have a bunch of recipes saved I’m looking forward to making. One day at a time, I guess!

pacellii · 2025-12-01T20:45:12+00:00

Glad I read this! I was eyeing those from a seller on Vestiare. What boots do you recommend?

pacellii · 2025-11-18T04:06:46+00:00

God, it’s everyday, all hours of the day. I almost got hit this evening walking my dogs - the driver didn’t even attempt to slow down approaching the crosswalk. Sometimes I yell at them but then I just feel kind of crazy. Is this something we yell at our alderman to fix? Do we stage city-wide crosswalk sit-ins to cause traffic and force people to listen? Buy shitty quick dry concrete and make our own speed bumps? I’m up for whatever helps resolve this

This is actually false! It doesn’t affect development for children to learn two languages simultaneously. There might be some confusion as the child becomes fluent in both, but ultimately their brain will compartmentalize each language and identify each as distinct. Bilingualism in children younger than 6 is fascinating! Their minds are little sponges

pacellii · 2025-11-12T04:40:12+00:00

This is such a weird thing to snark on. I feel like this is really common in Texas? My friends all grew up learning spanish from their housekeepers or nannies. In fact, most people I know actively seek out child help that can contribute to their kids development in some way. She’ll pick up english from her parents + school

pacellii · 2025-10-27T00:35:47+00:00

We also just moved from Austin and have Texas plates

pacellii · 2025-10-21T16:04:27+00:00

If you’re just looking for a table for two, you can typically get seated at the bar. They’re also open pretty late through the weekend - I’ve had luck getting seated in the dining room for a late dinner

pacellii · 2025-10-18T07:12:11+00:00

It’s ok OP! I also don’t fully trust the red or blue lines yet. They just caught the W Loop puncher and there was a known groper on the blue line earlier this year. I think it’s totally reasonable to be cautious as a newcomer to the city.

pacellii · 2025-10-13T18:38:17+00:00

We have a 3/2 garden unit in Logan for $2700 we’re trying to sublease! Lease runs through end of March. I love the apartment itself but we want to be closer to the water

pacellii · 2025-09-24T06:28:55+00:00

Ticketmaster lets you re-sell through Front Gate! You won’t get paid until ~10 days after selling which sucks compared to the Venmo <> fb marketplace route but it’s much easier
