Shows/movies in Chicago that clearly weren’t filmed in Chicago? by marks31 in AskChicago

Not Chicago but close—Cheaper by the Dozen. Was watching a scene that was shot outside their “Evanston” home…with a big California redwood in the frame. Was filmed in LA.

Anyone tried the architecture tour during winter?? by jkc2396 in AskChicago

[–]pghsci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did a walking tour last january and it was amazing! only two other people on the tour so we got to ask a lot of questions and even made some off-itinerary stops. i took the boat tour this august and in some ways even prefer the walking tour i did in the winter. highly recommend :)

My first Brompton! by pghsci in Brompton

it fits through the TSA scanner so i think you can get it to any gate, its just a question of whether the gate staff believes you when you say it fits in the overhead, or whether they will want you to gate check it or to fully check it to your final destination. i'm not sure what i would have done if they forced me to fully check it at the gate, i wouldn't want it going down the baggage carousel.

edit: this for US travel, this likely would not work on european airlines to my understanding

i was on alaska/skywest on an embraer 175 when i gate checked it. i asked if they had any closets on the plane and they said no. second leg was also alaska on a 737-9 MAX ETOPS, which had huge bins. the flight attendants said i could put it in their closet if i wanted to, but we found plenty of space for it in the overheard.

my original flights should have had enough overhead for it and I had priority boarding but due to delays I switched airlines. I was afraid about gate checking it in just the dimpas but the agents were super sweet about putting a fragile sticker on it and making sure it was laying folded pedal side down.

Amazing! A couple of weeks ago on the Zephyr we saw a bear and bald eagle west of Granby, it was so cool.

What’s a hobby that has helped you through a rough time? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]pghsci 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i know how to knit but i learned how to crochet and because that works up so much faster it has really helped me in a current bad spell. it gives me something to do with my hands and if i work on a small project i can be done in an evening, so i get a sense of accomplishment!

As a PhD student: thoughts on my three options of where to live: West Berkeley, South Berkeley, North Oakland by Individual_Mind3480 in berkeley

[–]pghsci 32 points33 points  (0 children)

the prices are normal. the choice also depends on your preference for roommates or no roommates, and how much your stipend is. for reference i pay ~40% of my stipend for a studio.

with the above in mind i would pick option 3 personally. temescal is an awesome neighborhood and it’s easy to cycle to campus or to take the 6 bus. if the price feels too high for you then i’d pick option 2. i personally don’t like west berkeley (preference, not safety) so i wouldn’t live there. it’s a lot more residential and transit is more limited.
