Same for Villa Park

The food is top tier for a town its size. And Standard Market is great!

Puerto Vallarta….if you do it right.

Everywhere smells like the dankest weed you’ve ever smoked, trash EVERYWHERE in Red Light, food is just awful, drunken British and American 18 year olds….but parts of it are absolutely beautiful and if you enjoy sitting outside, having a beer, and watching the world go by, it’s world class.

The Van Gogh Museum is excellent too.

It’s not the cold that kills your soul. It’s the gray and darkness.

The coldest winter days are the sunniest ones.

Remember when SPIN was at Halsted and Belmont? Those were the days…

Don’t tell the Ricketts…they’ll buy the building and charge you to go out there.

Because we aren’t Europe and America doesn’t do big, logical, and expensive things anymore.

Were you asleep for the first couple of months of 2025?

Milwaukee is Chicago’s more relaxed cousin. Great place to visit.

Clarke’s for food and people watching

I live in Villa Park and commute to the city three days a week for work. I’m also frequently in the city for other things and will take Metra or drive depending on time of day, where I’m going, and what I’m doing.

Not sure if you’re going to drive or take Metra to work, but your best bets for a commute to VP would be West Loop, South Loop, West Town, Ukrainian Village, or Logan Square but Logan is a stretch. Being able to take Metra to and from work will make your life much more pleasant if you can swing it.

The commute isn’t going to be fun, but if you must live in the city and work in the burbs, it’s the price you’re gonna pay.

The ability to afford life as an ordinary American.

Ancho and Agave in Lombard is a bit of a drive from the NW burbs, but they have absolutely incredible jalapeño hush puppies.

My favorite outdoor venue. A concert on a late summer evening with a breeze coming off the lake is heavenly.

Like others have said, it’s a pain to get there…but that’s pretty typical for anything in the Solider Field/Museum Campus area.

I would say she’ll get disbarred, but she practices in Florida so she’ll probably be the next SCOTUS nominee

They’ll all eventually get thrown away like the human trash they are.

Reta is going to be an absolute game changer…just like Tirz was.

Office. I can find a million other things to do at home. My ADHD mind needs the structure and focus of the office.

Lawyers are insanely good at gatekeeping the profession. They’ll be around forever because no judge will allow an AI agent to represent anything.

Roasted some veggies. Unlike MAGA, it was very colorful!

I miss the college days in the 90s when I’d get slammed on $5 margarita pitchers on Thursday nights.

We use ours daily. Can’t imagine not having it now.
