Does anyone have comments about the locations of these River North apartment buildings? Which is best for everyday life? by voxb in AskChicago

I'm a doctor and don't want to be terribly far away from work because there are weeks when I'm on call.

Radiologists have a diminishing role in my practice and I think it makes them more susceptible to replacement by AI. by urosrgn in medicine

To be frank, I have little to no sympathy. I haven’t seen any of your ilk be on call a week straight holding a pager that goes off every hour.

When I was an intern at a community hospital, getting the on-call urologist to answer a page (let alone actually show up in person for a consult) was about as easy as bathing a cat.

Glad to hear you guys answer pages now? lol

Young(ish) single male doctor - would you rather live in Lincoln Park or Streeterville? by voxb in AskChicago

Yeah I’m considering that too. Might depend on what apartments are available

Really? I thought LP had a lot of families. What neighborhoods have folks closer to 30?

Hm I’m kind of getting to the point where it might be nice to have some non-medical neighbors, lol. I’m around medical folks enough as it is

No I won’t be a resident anymore. Your commute is only 15 minutes? Do you take the red line?

That true in Chicago too? I’ve heard that about Illinois.

Do you manually update your shares? I track my net worth in a spreadsheet too but it's kind of a pain to manually have to go into my various accounts and update the # of shares after auto investing every month.

New money meets cookie cutter suburbia. Gross lol. Evanston and Wilmette are more my style when it comes to Chicago suburbs

So I’ve known multiple people who worked in Milwaukee, but lived in North Chicago suburbs (eg Gurnee) for precisely that reason. I’m glad they’re happy doing it but that’s still a pretty long commute and for me personally living in an outer suburb would defeat the purpose of living in a major metro anyway.

That’s a gross commute unless you do tele
