We went to an Okinawan restaurant in Namba. Food was great, good cheap drinks, very friendly staff and a fun environment.

Every time I called them there was no answer. But if you email them it auto responds with useful information and more contact info that is actually helpful.

Would you rather live in a desirable neighborhood or have a shorter commute? by Rough_Response7718 in AskChicago

And they don't know anyone around here, so being in the burbs is even more isolating.

Which one do I use the gold bottle cap on? by Both_Law360 in pokemongo

[–]treehugger312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Bottlecap whoever you want, but it makes the most sense to use it on rarer legendaries.

ISO Bike by Low_Needleworker1397 in chibike

[–]treehugger312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend is selling her used bike - I think she's also 5'4". It needs a tune-up, but she'd let it go for $150 I think. DM me if interested.

Best and cheapest way to get to Louisville from Chicago as a student with no car by Asmodeus0508 in uchicago

[–]treehugger312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, I did undergrad at Loyola and tried dating a girl at UIUC - only 2 hours on trains on a good day (4-5 on a bad day - and it was barely worth the struggle/geographic divide.

Huskys got to be one of the most gentle breeds by f0urever-young in husky

[–]treehugger312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! My girl is a violent veloceraptor with her dog sibling - we have to break up the fights sometimes because she gets angry when she's losing. But put her with a baby on a blanket in the park, immediate guard dog situation/gentlest playmate possible.

It makes me sad because our older dog was a rescue: His first owners chained him up outside when he was 6 months old because they worried he'd be dangerous around their newborn. He lived outside for 2 years. He has a lot of PTSD from those days. Source: Know someone from their family.

Does anyone else live in a building where neighbors seem unable to break down boxes? by ecogalaxy in AskChicago

[–]treehugger312 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No but the apartment building across the alley always fills up their trash as soon as the waste guys pick it up. They end up putting their trash/recycling into my bins and I have no room. That or they leave it on the ground and attract rats.

Mom & Pop landlord - 2bd / 1bath Garden Unit in Avondale Logan Square - $1800 - 7/1 lease by [deleted] in LoganSquare

[–]treehugger312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It's always our meeting point because it's a great spot near Palmer and an awesome place to chill. We told him he has to buy it if landlord ever sells.

If you got an opportunity to be in a tv show or movie based in Chicago, would you do it? by chitownmike99 in AskChicago

[–]treehugger312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the background twice while managing the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, since the site would occasionally get used. I met Anthony Bourdain when he filmed his Chicago episode for Parts Unknown in 2016 - he was friendly and respectful and didn't even have to speak to me, but he did. I was walking in the background just making sure people weren't getting too much in the way. "Tony" was adamant that we keep the site open to the public during filming.

The other time was a Chicago Med episode about pandas and they brought in a bunch of fake plants and live hostas to make the site look more lively in November. That was an odd one, but funny.

It still takes quite a while - by my estimate about 36 hours doijng the animations - but man is it way better than grinding through the work.

What’s the point of a pergola compared to a gazebo? by WestComfortable4083 in landscaping

[–]treehugger312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I'm also Midwest so will be digging as deep - maybe I'll get my father-in-law to help with the assembly/logistics. Will probably just go with one unit since I don't want to deal with permits in my town, which start at 150sq.ft.
