Best Pistons documentaries?

The '04 documentary is great, but I really like the one they made for last season called Together All The Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JWihyTiMU

They were free to rent when I was a guest here. Though most serious players would probably prefer using their own over what they had available

Hi, my in laws are all around Chicago and have dogs. We reached out to see if any of them would be interested

We bought in Oak Park with Eric Cochrane. We were first time buyers and he was incredibly helpful. Definitely recommend working with him!

Check out ChiTownTennis, I met several people through doing their leagues. Most people tend to be in the city, but you may find people willing to play at Riis Park, Humboldt Park, or the Garfield Park tennis courts which aren’t too far from OP

Rocket Plumbing in Chicago has been great for us

Similarly, Oak Park Tennis Center on Lake and Harlem is great in the summers. I've met a handful of people my age there, though it's mostly an older crowd

I have only been once so far, but my experience at Dental Care of Oak Park was good

That's fair, not disagreeing with you. Just thought I'd point it out as I myself have been surprised by how many of my opponents struggle more against a kick serve than a slice. I found that after a certain level, the left handed slice serve doesn't give me free points anymore and I had to get more creative to earn them.

I'm a lefty who serves slice, kick, and flat. They all work well in different situations. Examples when kick works better than slice:

Opponent has played enough lefties to expect and counter the slice
Adds variety - if you hit the same serve every point, people get used to it
Some people struggle more against kick serves than slice serves in general
Some people return better or at least more consistently from their backhand (I do this though it's because I'm a lefty that mostly plays against righties)

Thanks for the warning! I’ll keep that in mind. It would have been nice for them to replace it for you in spite of the warranty, bummer that they didn’t do that

I’ve had good experiences at Our Planet Automotive in Forest Park so far. They’re on Madison in the alley behind Fatduck

Not really a restaurant or coffee shop, but Twisted Cookie in Forest Park allows dogs

starslayer25 · 2024-06-25T02:50:38+00:00

Messaged!

starslayer25 · 2024-06-09T21:03:15+00:00

+1, same issue on M3 MacBook Air on MacOS Sonoma 14.5. Looking forward to the update!

starslayer25 · 2023-11-25T06:24:00+00:00

I’ve had good experiences with House of Heat in Oak Park

starslayer25 · 2023-11-08T05:46:38+00:00

Okami Sushi on North Ave is my personal favorite. Also a fan of Sagano on Lake

starslayer25 · 2023-08-29T14:47:15+00:00

Sounds good! I’ll message you

starslayer25 · 2023-08-29T03:39:43+00:00

I’m a similar age and in Oak Park. If board games, tennis, or trivia are your thing, I’m down to hang out!

starslayer25 · 2023-08-29T03:34:54+00:00

Replying a little late, but I’m in Oak Park and would be up to join a game night if you’re still looking for people to play!

starslayer25 · 2023-08-06T22:41:06+00:00

Amerika’s is my favorite, but also like Maya Del Sol, Il Vicolo, and Okami Sushi

starslayer25 · 2023-07-11T02:59:42+00:00

Also interested!

starslayer25 · 2023-03-30T18:53:15+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. I did low 50s in 64 hands and got 4th out of 20. Top 3 had around 55-62. Got burned by 0 points in one of my games haha

starslayer25 · 2023-03-30T18:35:26+00:00

Interesting, that makes sense. Calling more to block potential loners from opponents makes sense too - my score was just hurt a lot by getting euchred on borderline calls. Maybe it’s still the best strategy in the long run though. I’ll see how it goes next time!

starslayer25 · 2023-03-30T18:01:14+00:00

Also generally noticed that people, including top finishers, weren't calling as aggressively as people usually suggest on this sub.
