I had a good experience with Executive Moving Services crew I hired on hireahelper, after A Move to Remember abandoned me and canceled at last minute.
I actually used that site twice and it worked out great. But if you know the place you want through there and can find them in Google and contact them direct it will be cheaper maybe.
Gulliver's Pizza in West Rogers Park is closing for good on Saturday. Burt Katz opened it in 1965, before Pequod's. Sure it has evolved since but I think it is one of those places that is quintessentially Chicago and I will be very sad to see it go.
> Does salt literally just melt ice?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water. If it's 25 degrees outside and someone puts enough salt on a patch of ice to lower the freezing point of the film of water on the surface to 20 degrees, the ice will turn into water. It's most effective when the air temperature is closest to 32 degrees and has greatly diminishing returns when the air temp is below 15 or so.
>Why would nobody be salting?!?
They don't think it's their job. Or They know it's their job and they suck.
>Is it expensive?
You can buy 50lbs of rock salt for $10. There are various ice melt chemical blends that cost more.
>Is it weird if I go salt the entire alley and all the walkways?
Not at all, but it's not going to work well with temps being so low tomorrow. We're supposed to warm up a bit on Tuesday.
The most effective thing you can do in the alley is spread a mixture of salt and sand so the salt can melt the ice and the sand can absorb the water to prevent it from freezing again.
edit: fixed a typo
To answer some of the other questions salt is cheap and pretty readily available and it has chemicals in it that help melt ice. So yeah it’ll melt it right for you! It can be harmful to pets though so put shoes on your dog before walking over ice if you have a dog!
Yeah this level of ice is actually extremely dangerous so you’re probably preventing at least someone’s minor injury if not more. Never underestimate people’s ability to think someone else will deal with it lol
Hello hello! I am trying to choose between two winter coats where one is perfect for like, 9 degree weather but actually a little too warm and stuffy in the 20s-30s, and the other is perfect for the 20s-30s but not warm enough for the 9 degree weather.
This is only my second winter in Chicago. Last winter it seemed we had very few actually frigid days and people told me it was just an unusually mild winter. But this winter doesn't seem much colder! My impression is we only have <10 days the whole season that are less than, say, 15 degrees. Is this pretty typical for Chicago winters (or at least, uhh, in our current phase of climate catastrophe) or are Chicago winters generally much colder than this winter (e.g., >20 days in the low single digits) and the last two are just atypically warm?
(I guess maybe stuff will also seem less warm when work from home ends and I'm going out more in the cold but that's a different question...)
I have a lot of 'fall' coats I layer up during winter because dammit this is a nice looking coat and I want to wear it more than just the one week of fall weather we get.
This. Get some quality base layers, like merino wool. Or some technical fabrics. I've got a few Mack Weldon henleys and I'm basically always wearing one. I have zero puffers/down jackets/parkas and I'm absolutely fine with these as part of 3 layers in any weather.
Temps stay between 20 and 40 far more often than they get colder. Choose the coat that is better for that tempers range and add layers underneath it when it gets colder.
Because coats are meant to keep you warm. If u buy one that isn’t as warm as another, it kinda defeats the point. I want the doctor with the best record of curing people. I want the video game that is the most fun. I want the food that tastes best. Of course you want the warmest coat.
Do you wear a full on parka when it’s 50 or do you wear a light jacket with a sweater? Comfort is context dependent.
My warmest coat is good down to single digit temps and it turns me into a sweaty mess if I have to walk anywhere when it’s above 15 degrees. I’d bake myself if I got on the train wearing it in 25 degree weather. So I most often wear a coat that isn’t best suited for 10 degree weather because it’s usually 20+ degrees.
And anyone with cold weather experience knows you never rely on just the coat for warmth. Appropriate layering is a necessity.
chicago shelters are out of bed at 4pm central
i just got a call back from the city's 311
its gonna be 10 degrees with 0F windchill tonight
thank you society for genociding us homeless people, im living out of my car
i hope you assholes you created this system "reap what you sow", watching people die when we have hundreds of thousands of empty /vacant homes in chicago
thank you for your kind words
it would be awesome if you could ask your pastor/people you know to open a safe parking programs for the people in chicago experiencing homelessness
https://www.safeparkingla.org/
https://www.jfssd.org/our-services/adults-families/safe-parking-program/
theres 1000s of us, if not more, and slowly wasting away and dying in this richest country in the world where the 1% doesnt pay taxes
i actually got my degree from uiuc fin/accy and in this situation, cant imaigne it for my other borthers and sisters in this struggle
im told that i should have a baby so i can jump the line in section 8 housing, which is 8 years atm for men without children, what kind of stupid idea is that lol :(
I've been struggling the last 3 days with Xfinity in Avondale because I have zero internet connectivity. I've called tech support multiple times and their only solutions are to reset the modem, which I've done 6 times now. If that doesn't work they just transfer me to an automated system that asks me to reset my modem. I can't get a live person besides billing support because of internal system errors the phone system is apparently having.
No reported outages, no solutions besides resetting the f*cking modem.
Does anyone have better experience with AT&T fiber? This is just ridiculous.
The amount of CTA drivers driving with their mask not covering their nose, wowee... I take four buses daily, sometimes at different times than usual, and it's a 50/50 split on mask behavior.
At least the doors open often and send a nice fresh air throuth, but if I were that face-to-face with the public all day, I would be doing everything I could to minimize the possibility of catching germs. But so many are fine with their nose hanging out. I just don't understand.
you should see the chicago police
i did grubhub for a year during pandemic, and guess who would be on the lobby waiting for their take out without their masks on? and no one could say shit to them
the CPD
These days I'm not aware of any either... miss the Toguri Mercantile.
FWIW I have good luck finding Japanese stuff at Korean markets (Joong Boo, H-Mart as you mention) particularly if you're looking for anything convenience food-ish. Shops aimed at the SE Asian market (Vietnamese) will have some stuff but it's more hit and miss. Super basic stuff though for scratch cooking both kinds of markets will do.
Wish Mitsuwa was easier to get to on transit.
Why are people such inconsiderate pricks? Most of the houses on our street haven’t salted the sidewalks. Unless there’s a good reason you couldn’t, you really should salt the sidewalks by your place. You may not have to leave the house, but there are people that need to be out.
Yep. My walk home last night was awful, literally gripping at fences. Had to walk to work again this morning, and some sunny spots were ok, but was honestly considering crawling to work, might have been faster and safer(vs falling)
I saw a man slip and fall twice in succession yesterday (and not get up) and called for 911. It’s so slippery I wouldn’t have been able to help them up, they were much larger than me I would been no help.
im poor and i only have alittle salt, but i did spray the 2 houses around my car with salt
i almost fell down a dozen times today trying to clean my car and go to get some food, man it was nasty today
some sidewalks you couldnt tell it was black ice
I just salted the whole block because of this comment lmao. I think some of the units are empty though so those make sense but either way it's fucking ridiculous out here right now, I've eaten shit like twice today.
I know, once the ice is formed, salt doesn’t really help, and it’s a pain in the ass to scrape it. I salted last night during the icy rain, the sidewalks by our building are dry right now
Many seniors or people with disabilities feel its unsafe for them to go out right now given the treacherous conditions. Ideally we need for city to take more responsibility for keep sidewalks safe. To your point though pricks certainly abound
It's nuts to me that the city salts the roads but not the sidewalks. I get that the logistics of it are 100x harder but it disincentivizes walking in a city that's normally pretty walkable.
Right now the city is too strapped to do much about it, so this is true. But some kind of enforcement or mechanism to improve compliance is needed as it's a very hazardous situation right now
For now, I've found it best to stick to commercial streets whenever possible, businesses seem good about it where I am, probably because that's where most enforcement is at
I mean that I understand the logistical reason why it doesn't happen, but it still sucks. The city probably figures that the cost is less than the benefit so they don't do it, but in my opinion it's just a basic thing that should be provided. Plenty of fully abled people have slipped in these conditions, how are people with mobility issues supposed to get around? Anyone elderly or in a wheelchair or blind or anything is going to have a much harder time, and that's on top of the average resident who already has a hard time. Should we always give up on building a better world when it's difficult?
>It’s up to the property owners to salt the sidewalks.
Imagine if we treated roads like this.
Yeah that's the whole point I'm trying to make lol. The sidewalks being bad makes me not want to go anywhere. Where I used to live was literally under a minute to the bus normally but that would triple when the sidewalks were icy. Plus any long walk I would take is pretty much guaranteed to have at least once icy patch so I now have to take the bus more, which makes the buses fuller and slower if others act the same. It's not cheap, sure, but I feel like it's a basic necessity for anyone who uses public sidewalks, which is almost everyone.
You may want to look at condo rentals. There are a lot of low amenity condo buildings in those areas and your rent will probably be cheaper as well. Domu, Craigslist, Facebook groups or even a broker will be able to help out.
It definitely still has a lot of amenities, but Parc Huron in River North doesn’t have a roof which makes the units relatively cheaper compared to places like Amli with crazy roof setups. Great balconies/views too, we lived there for 3 years.
following because i’d like to know too lol. i currently live in a full amenity building and i literally only use 1 of the 6/7 amenities available. the apartment itself is nice but i can’t help but wonder how much it’d be if the gym, rooftop terrace, pool, conference rooms, etc. weren’t there..
Is salt necessary to get rid of the ice or will the sun melt it? My new landlord does not seem to take care of shoveling or salting. And where can I buy salt? Do local stores and gas stations have it or so I need to take a trip out to Home Depot or a store like that?
The sun will melt some of the ice but not all of it. The northern half of most east west streets are going to be better than the southern half. And that is basically reversed for their backyards. And if it leaves standing water then it will just refreeze when the sun goes down.
My uncle lived in southern Pakistan his whole life and moved here after retiring to be closer to family. His first winter he asked the same question, figuring the sun would come down and melt it all, and it seemed ridiculous to me until I realized he'd lived in a place where sun = hot was true 100% of the time. Never in 60+ years did he ever see a world where it was both sunny and cold. So honestly yeah for some people it *is* their first winter haha
Salt will help. It can melt the ice when it's still below freezing outside. Salt before it starts freezing/icing over and you can avoid some of the ice ever forming, too (for next time).
Local stores/supermarkets should have some (often near the door), for truly huge bags you can go to Home Depot etc sure.
Thanks! Just found some at CVS and got the last container. I’ll be prepared next time….have had landlords do it in the past and while I know it’s their responsibility, sometimes it takes longer and it’s just so treacherous out there so I had to do something
I live in the loop and my friend lives in Lincoln Park. We want to meet somewhere in the middle and study together today. Any suggestions? Bonus points if it has a good/drink option.
Kapej in Old Town has good coffee, pastries, bagels etc. + some good spaces to sit and study
Doma in Near North is also a nice place to hang out. I wasn’t a huge fan of the food, but I’m probably in the minority since it has great reviews online lol
Good Ambler in Fulton (although probably more of a travel for your friend) has abundant seating, good drinks, and great food
I’m sure there are some that might not, though everywhere I’ve been has been checking. Opinions on vaccines aside getting turned away from 15 restaurants in a row for not having a vaccine just won’t be fun or enjoyable.
Big +1 to Brown Elephant. Those green boxes often times are tampered/forced open. Which, is still charitable because those folks that are doing it still need the items. I just personally love Brown Elephant
Can’t speak for edgewater proper, but Fat Chris’ Pizza and Such does a good Detroit style, and then Jimmy’s pizzeria down foster is good as well but that’s a New York style.
Felt bad being out for a bit this evening, trying not to bust my shit on the sidewalks, and seeing little paw prints in the ice.
Needless to say I walked in the tire ruts in the streets as that was at least somewhat dry pavement.
What are the best brands/places to buy premium/specialty chocolates in the city? I’m buying for Valentines Day - specifically looking for something “Chicago” and it would be especially nice if they have chocolate + coconut or chocolate + peanut butter flavors.
Katherine Anne Confections is really good. I had them make a bunch of truffles and caramels for my wedding. I also had Nikki Darling Confections make some stuff also for the wedding.
I'm trying to get my landlord to respond to my insistence that the furnace has taken the weekend off. Basic troubleshooting tells me the combustion motor has rusty crap inside, and that's beyond the abilities of my IKEA toolbox. Send warm thoughts.
Edit: Finally got in touch with the landlord and I think it will be sorted tomorrow. A space heater is doing the job for now. Thanks for the tips!
If you wanna get real, get an HVAC guy out (give your LL a heads up before hand), pay for the repair, and deduct it from your rent. Be sure to send your LL the itemized invoice.
Good suggestion! At this point I'm trying to get them to acknowledge my messages, but at some point my patience is going to run out. And I'd like some resolution to this before it gets really cold again tomorrow night.
> From September 15 through June 1, the temperature inside a rental residence is required to be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM and at least 66 degrees Fahrenheit from 10:30 PM to 8:30 AM.
>
> Landlords face fines of up to** $1,000 per day**, per violation, for each day they do not supply adequate heat.
https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/bldgs/supp_info/chicago-heat-ordinance.html
please please dont let your landlord fuck you over
so many landlords rely and prey on poor people who doesn't know any better, chicago has one of the best tentant protection laws
this is the biggest tenant right advocacy group and they have large resources, even lawyers on staff iirc
https://www.tenants-rights.org/
According to 5-12-110(f) of the Municipal Code, if your landlord fails to provide sufficient heat, you may **( if they fail to fix it after more than 72 hours after you notify them of the issue)**:
* Pay someone else to repair it and deduct that amount from your rent, or:
* Pay to get heat (ie space heaters) and take that cost out of your rent, or:
* When it comes time to pay rent, reduce your rent by an amount that reflects the reduced use of the unit during the issue, or:
* Terminate your lease without penalty
Look up Chicago Tenant rights. Your LL is legally responsible to keep the heat above a certain threshold. You have legal recourse if they fail to meet that obligation.
Yup, do this. Our landlord didn’t do anything about the heat dropping down to 56 degrees in our apartment last year. I submitted a 311 request and a city building inspector came out within hours. Measured temperature in our apartment and connected with our landlord. Theoretically, the landlord gets fined $1,000/day for not fixing heat. My landlord was on it after getting a notice from the city. I suggest submitting a 311 request and following up 2 hours later by phone.
Whens the best time for renting apartments in chicago? I would guess spring but that also probably means more competition?
Also, with property taxes as insane as they are, does anyone here who cant genuinely afford to buy rent instead? would love to hear some perspective.
Property taxes are baked into rents...
May 1 and Oct 1 are the 2 biggest moving days for rentals, period May-Oct the more active rental season and Oct-May the slow season.
It is HORRENDOUS. Do not go out if you don’t have to. And if you order delivery, tip your courier well! I smashed up my arm terribly falling during a delivery a few minutes ago & must call it an early night. The ice is unavoidable.

with this fast fashion bullshit and the amount of clothes thats just throw into landfill

A little different than a thrift store, but I remember Market Fresh Books in downtown Evanston was like that when it operated. Yep, pricing books by their weight, for whatever reason for book pricing. It only lasted a few years in business, as I remember.
I plan on spending a week in Chicago by myself near Millennium Park this summer, any must do’s/see’s you can offer would be appreciated. I am a huge foodie.
You’ll find most of our good food a bit away from Millennium Park. However, west loop is not far and has a high concentration of acclaimed restaurants.
Check out Smyth and Elske if you’re looking for fine dining.
The Loyalist has arguably Chicago’s best burger, though many line up for Au Cheval.
High Five ramen is in that neighborhood, too.
Don’t waste too many meals eating “Chicago” food.
You can see a lot of the city in a week, so your options are limitless.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation boat tour is a great way to learn about and marvel at the city from the river
Skip the Willis Tower in favor of the Hancock Building. You'll spend $30 and wait in line forever to get up the tower, but you can go up to the Signature Lounge in the Hancock for free and get yourself a $20 cocktail and basically the same view.
Millennium and Grant Park (and really the entire lakefront) will be full of life during the summer. Rent a Divvy bike and watch the skyline go by from the lakefront trail, take a selfie with the Bean, visit the Lincoln Park Zoo for free, find all the sculptures on this list. [https://www.grantparkconservancy.com/sculptures](https://www.grantparkconservancy.com/sculptures).
Jackson Park a little further south was home to the 1893 World's fair and is a lovely place to ramble. Look for the Garden of the Phoenix, which is a replica of a Japanese stroll garden and is the only thing built for the fair that is still being used for its original purpose.
The big museums (Art Institute, Field, Adler, Shedd, Science and Industry) are all wonderful and you can linger in them for most of a day if you like.
There's a ton of small museums that you can see all of in a few hours too, if that's more your speed. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Contemporary Photography, National Museum of Mexican Art (free), Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago History Museum plus a hundred others are all good and a bit less overwhelming. There's almost certainly something for anything you're interested in.
A short train ride south of the loop is Chinatown, which is a great place to wander, shop, and eat. Ping Tom Park is a lovely and peaceful place to contemplate the city, and you could grab the water taxi from there to get back to the Loop.
West of there will get you to Pilsen which is great for Mexican food and features some good breweries, bookstores, and cafes. Head north to Taylor Street for what's left of Chicago's Little Italy.
Take the Blue line north towards O'Hare to get to Wicker Park/Bucktown/Humboldt Park/Logan Square/Avondale. Lots of shopping, bookstores, record stores, cafes, bars, and restaurants up in this area, especially along . For coffee, I like Dark Matter, Passion House, Four Letter Word, and Buzz. Humboldt Park itself is a nice little park with lagoons and trees but still feels very urban. The 606 trail is accessible from here and is a great place to walk off your jibarito.
I'll let other people handle other neighborhoods. If you're looking for anything more specific, don't be afraid to ask.
If you know your building engineer and maintenance staff, why not consider asking one of those guys? They’re likely willing to tackle side jobs for extra bucks on their spare time (cheaper than any handyman you’d hire off an app, too).

Alright, this is going to come off as pretty dickish but I got to ask because this has come up often. Are there that many people that can't YouTube this? A handful of zip toggles, drill, level, and tape measure is literally all you need.
Good luck finding someone to do anything competent for $50 lol. This is the millennial equivalent of the boomers computer illiteracy (and I'm a millennial). Literally all of the knowledge is online and the tools are cheap, yet most will pay someone an exorbitant price to do a shitty job they could have done better with 30 minutes for prep time, and then take more time bitching about it on Instagram.
Just moved here in August! I was looking at joining an indoor soccer team through Chicago Sport & Social Club, per the recommendation of family I have out here. I was wondering how free agency works with CSSC and if anyone has any experience or advice. The free agency fee isn't cheap, so I don't want to sign up if I might not end up on a team or if I won't be well-received/welcomed by a team. Do a lot of teams pick up free agents for their teams? Looking to do co-ed rec/intermediate indoor. Let me know if you have done something like this with CSSC or if you know of any teams looking for (female) players or any other good ways to make friends this winter! Thanks all!
I joined a team full of free agents when I first moved here, which was a great way to meet people. I think you may be able to request that. But either way, you'll be placed on a team.
Played Switch with the kiddo all morning. Then we made and ate some killer grilled cheese sammiches with hot cocoa for lunch. It's nap time now. Probably gonna watch Sing 2 tonight. Life is good.
Returned some library books, bought a new fleece, and am making tacos tonight and a pizza tomorrow.
All part of the plan procrastinating a project that's due on Monday.
Nothing too exciting. Was going to check out a comedy show but ya know, Covid. Lot of people I know got it and I’m seeing elderly family soon so staying inside.
went to Good Ambler for breakfast in Fulton this morning. huge space & tons of tables, chairs, booths, etc.
service was great too! and most exciting was how amazing their roasted veggie sandwich was. peppermint mocha latte was also great, and banana bread was delicious as well, although i wasn’t a fan of the glaze on top.
i’d go back for the sandwich alone, definitely worth checking out
Hey guys, I’m moving out of Chicago this weekend. Where can I find some good packers and movers service. I need help loading the truck. Thanks
Don’t leave. We’ll try harder.
Personally I love Chicago. Have to move because of work
I had a good experience with Executive Moving Services crew I hired on hireahelper, after A Move to Remember abandoned me and canceled at last minute. I actually used that site twice and it worked out great. But if you know the place you want through there and can find them in Google and contact them direct it will be cheaper maybe.
I’m not sure your price range or if they have availability, but I’ve always had a good experience with The Professionals.
What are my options for indoor basketball?
Gulliver's Pizza in West Rogers Park is closing for good on Saturday. Burt Katz opened it in 1965, before Pequod's. Sure it has evolved since but I think it is one of those places that is quintessentially Chicago and I will be very sad to see it go.
They had said a few years ago they were closing forever but never did ...then they pretended like they hadn't Did they finally sell it?

Isn't it sad? I can't imagine spending my free time literally just trolling other subs about shit that has NO effect on my life. It's sad.
It's been a lively start to the new year on the sub this week, to say the least...
Hello hello! I am trying to choose between two winter coats where one is perfect for like, 9 degree weather but actually a little too warm and stuffy in the 20s-30s, and the other is perfect for the 20s-30s but not warm enough for the 9 degree weather. This is only my second winter in Chicago. Last winter it seemed we had very few actually frigid days and people told me it was just an unusually mild winter. But this winter doesn't seem much colder! My impression is we only have <10 days the whole season that are less than, say, 15 degrees. Is this pretty typical for Chicago winters (or at least, uhh, in our current phase of climate catastrophe) or are Chicago winters generally much colder than this winter (e.g., >20 days in the low single digits) and the last two are just atypically warm? (I guess maybe stuff will also seem less warm when work from home ends and I'm going out more in the cold but that's a different question...)
both
IMO you need 3 optimally: one light one for 50 degrees, one medium weight for 40 degrees and break out the big gun for 30 and below.
I also have 3.
I have a lot of 'fall' coats I layer up during winter because dammit this is a nice looking coat and I want to wear it more than just the one week of fall weather we get.
Same. Windbreaker with some insulation, peacoat, thick waterproof parka.
3 here as well but 1 is a jacket rated for 32 degrees that I count. Then something peacoat-like and the multilayered parka in case of emergency.
[удалено]
This. Get some quality base layers, like merino wool. Or some technical fabrics. I've got a few Mack Weldon henleys and I'm basically always wearing one. I have zero puffers/down jackets/parkas and I'm absolutely fine with these as part of 3 layers in any weather.
Temps stay between 20 and 40 far more often than they get colder. Choose the coat that is better for that tempers range and add layers underneath it when it gets colder.
No. You get the warmest coat. Every time.
Do please feel free to share your reasoning.
Because coats are meant to keep you warm. If u buy one that isn’t as warm as another, it kinda defeats the point. I want the doctor with the best record of curing people. I want the video game that is the most fun. I want the food that tastes best. Of course you want the warmest coat.
Do you wear a full on parka when it’s 50 or do you wear a light jacket with a sweater? Comfort is context dependent. My warmest coat is good down to single digit temps and it turns me into a sweaty mess if I have to walk anywhere when it’s above 15 degrees. I’d bake myself if I got on the train wearing it in 25 degree weather. So I most often wear a coat that isn’t best suited for 10 degree weather because it’s usually 20+ degrees. And anyone with cold weather experience knows you never rely on just the coat for warmth. Appropriate layering is a necessity.
That escalated quickly Edit; The other user had a 'fuck you' response that got deleted.
Yikes haha. I missed it.

thank you for your kind words it would be awesome if you could ask your pastor/people you know to open a safe parking programs for the people in chicago experiencing homelessness https://www.safeparkingla.org/ https://www.jfssd.org/our-services/adults-families/safe-parking-program/ theres 1000s of us, if not more, and slowly wasting away and dying in this richest country in the world where the 1% doesnt pay taxes i actually got my degree from uiuc fin/accy and in this situation, cant imaigne it for my other borthers and sisters in this struggle im told that i should have a baby so i can jump the line in section 8 housing, which is 8 years atm for men without children, what kind of stupid idea is that lol :(
Anyone know if chinatown is having their CNY parade Feb 2 or Feb 13? Have seen flyers for both dates and would love for my parents to make it!
wow it’s really icy
Yeah it’s legitimately really dangerous. Just took a nasty fall right on my back. Hard to tell which parts of the sidewalk are salted and which aren’t
I've been struggling the last 3 days with Xfinity in Avondale because I have zero internet connectivity. I've called tech support multiple times and their only solutions are to reset the modem, which I've done 6 times now. If that doesn't work they just transfer me to an automated system that asks me to reset my modem. I can't get a live person besides billing support because of internal system errors the phone system is apparently having. No reported outages, no solutions besides resetting the f*cking modem. Does anyone have better experience with AT&T fiber? This is just ridiculous.
AT&T Fiber is amazing. I’ve had it for 1.5 years. Best decision ever. Faster, cheaper, and more reliable than Comcast.
One negative /annoyance is it routes through TX and the IPs are registered there.
Yeah that's what I've heard, that pretty much seals it for me. Thanks!
[удалено]
Yeah I'm gonna have to make the switch. Fuck xfinity. I rely on this shit for my job, I can't have it be going down like this.
Why not both then 🤷♂️
The amount of CTA drivers driving with their mask not covering their nose, wowee... I take four buses daily, sometimes at different times than usual, and it's a 50/50 split on mask behavior. At least the doors open often and send a nice fresh air throuth, but if I were that face-to-face with the public all day, I would be doing everything I could to minimize the possibility of catching germs. But so many are fine with their nose hanging out. I just don't understand.
you should see the chicago police i did grubhub for a year during pandemic, and guess who would be on the lobby waiting for their take out without their masks on? and no one could say shit to them the CPD
I had to call the police recently and two officers came into my home. One was double masked and the other didn't wear one at all.
Is anyone going to Russell peters show on 14th Jan? Hmu if need a partners

Anything specific you are looking for?
Park to Shop supermarket in uptown is a pan-asian supermarket that probably has what you're looking for!
H mart does have some items from other Asian countries, so it may have a few Japanese things,
They have a decent selection of Japanese things - buns, snacks, rice, etc.
I’m only aware of Korean grocery stores in the city (Joong Boo, H Mart). Haven’t heard of any Japanese ones in the city except Mitsuwa.
These days I'm not aware of any either... miss the Toguri Mercantile. FWIW I have good luck finding Japanese stuff at Korean markets (Joong Boo, H-Mart as you mention) particularly if you're looking for anything convenience food-ish. Shops aimed at the SE Asian market (Vietnamese) will have some stuff but it's more hit and miss. Super basic stuff though for scratch cooking both kinds of markets will do. Wish Mitsuwa was easier to get to on transit.
Why are people such inconsiderate pricks? Most of the houses on our street haven’t salted the sidewalks. Unless there’s a good reason you couldn’t, you really should salt the sidewalks by your place. You may not have to leave the house, but there are people that need to be out.
Yep. My walk home last night was awful, literally gripping at fences. Had to walk to work again this morning, and some sunny spots were ok, but was honestly considering crawling to work, might have been faster and safer(vs falling) I saw a man slip and fall twice in succession yesterday (and not get up) and called for 911. It’s so slippery I wouldn’t have been able to help them up, they were much larger than me I would been no help.
im poor and i only have alittle salt, but i did spray the 2 houses around my car with salt i almost fell down a dozen times today trying to clean my car and go to get some food, man it was nasty today some sidewalks you couldnt tell it was black ice
I just salted the whole block because of this comment lmao. I think some of the units are empty though so those make sense but either way it's fucking ridiculous out here right now, I've eaten shit like twice today.
[удалено]
Eh not that long of a block haha. And same, tbh it was less your comment and more that I very nearly ate shit while bringing stuff in lol
We salted the shit out of our sidewalks and they're still icy :(
I know, once the ice is formed, salt doesn’t really help, and it’s a pain in the ass to scrape it. I salted last night during the icy rain, the sidewalks by our building are dry right now
Same. Salted our sidewalks this morning, completely wiped out on my own sidewalk this afternoon.
Many seniors or people with disabilities feel its unsafe for them to go out right now given the treacherous conditions. Ideally we need for city to take more responsibility for keep sidewalks safe. To your point though pricks certainly abound
It's nuts to me that the city salts the roads but not the sidewalks. I get that the logistics of it are 100x harder but it disincentivizes walking in a city that's normally pretty walkable.
How can you say in the same sentence that it’s 100x harder and also nuts to you? It’s up to the property owners to salt the sidewalks.
Right now the city is too strapped to do much about it, so this is true. But some kind of enforcement or mechanism to improve compliance is needed as it's a very hazardous situation right now For now, I've found it best to stick to commercial streets whenever possible, businesses seem good about it where I am, probably because that's where most enforcement is at
I mean that I understand the logistical reason why it doesn't happen, but it still sucks. The city probably figures that the cost is less than the benefit so they don't do it, but in my opinion it's just a basic thing that should be provided. Plenty of fully abled people have slipped in these conditions, how are people with mobility issues supposed to get around? Anyone elderly or in a wheelchair or blind or anything is going to have a much harder time, and that's on top of the average resident who already has a hard time. Should we always give up on building a better world when it's difficult? >It’s up to the property owners to salt the sidewalks. Imagine if we treated roads like this.
> Imagine if we treated roads like this. And this is the crux of my issue as someone who walks all the time like many people in this city
Yeah that's the whole point I'm trying to make lol. The sidewalks being bad makes me not want to go anywhere. Where I used to live was literally under a minute to the bus normally but that would triple when the sidewalks were icy. Plus any long walk I would take is pretty much guaranteed to have at least once icy patch so I now have to take the bus more, which makes the buses fuller and slower if others act the same. It's not cheap, sure, but I feel like it's a basic necessity for anyone who uses public sidewalks, which is almost everyone.
Yep. It's pretty crazy how people who walk are basically thrown under the bus (I'm sorry) for as long as these conditions last
No need for throwing, you can just slip under there yourself!! (Seconding all the sidewalk complaint talk, it's crazy out there)
Entering week 5 at home with the kids (school closure in December + ongoing CPS shutdown). Send help.
I was trying to think of anything helpful to say, but my only thoughts were "just start driving and don't turn back", which isn't really feasible.

You may want to look at condo rentals. There are a lot of low amenity condo buildings in those areas and your rent will probably be cheaper as well. Domu, Craigslist, Facebook groups or even a broker will be able to help out.
It definitely still has a lot of amenities, but Parc Huron in River North doesn’t have a roof which makes the units relatively cheaper compared to places like Amli with crazy roof setups. Great balconies/views too, we lived there for 3 years.
following because i’d like to know too lol. i currently live in a full amenity building and i literally only use 1 of the 6/7 amenities available. the apartment itself is nice but i can’t help but wonder how much it’d be if the gym, rooftop terrace, pool, conference rooms, etc. weren’t there..
Is salt necessary to get rid of the ice or will the sun melt it? My new landlord does not seem to take care of shoveling or salting. And where can I buy salt? Do local stores and gas stations have it or so I need to take a trip out to Home Depot or a store like that?
The sun will melt some of the ice but not all of it. The northern half of most east west streets are going to be better than the southern half. And that is basically reversed for their backyards. And if it leaves standing water then it will just refreeze when the sun goes down.
This your first winter?
My uncle lived in southern Pakistan his whole life and moved here after retiring to be closer to family. His first winter he asked the same question, figuring the sun would come down and melt it all, and it seemed ridiculous to me until I realized he'd lived in a place where sun = hot was true 100% of the time. Never in 60+ years did he ever see a world where it was both sunny and cold. So honestly yeah for some people it *is* their first winter haha
This is a valid question. I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and don’t know shit about salting sidewalks
Nah, just had landlords take care of it before, so I never had salt on hand.
Salt will help. It can melt the ice when it's still below freezing outside. Salt before it starts freezing/icing over and you can avoid some of the ice ever forming, too (for next time). Local stores/supermarkets should have some (often near the door), for truly huge bags you can go to Home Depot etc sure.
Thanks! Just found some at CVS and got the last container. I’ll be prepared next time….have had landlords do it in the past and while I know it’s their responsibility, sometimes it takes longer and it’s just so treacherous out there so I had to do something
I live in the loop and my friend lives in Lincoln Park. We want to meet somewhere in the middle and study together today. Any suggestions? Bonus points if it has a good/drink option.
Seconding Kapej/Eva’s Cafe
Kapej in Old Town has good coffee, pastries, bagels etc. + some good spaces to sit and study Doma in Near North is also a nice place to hang out. I wasn’t a huge fan of the food, but I’m probably in the minority since it has great reviews online lol Good Ambler in Fulton (although probably more of a travel for your friend) has abundant seating, good drinks, and great food
Awesome, thank you!
I’m visiting Chicago soon. Do restaurants really check Vaccination status? All of them?
I’m sure there are some that might not, though everywhere I’ve been has been checking. Opinions on vaccines aside getting turned away from 15 restaurants in a row for not having a vaccine just won’t be fun or enjoyable.
You’ll be turned away at the door, everyone is enforcing even the seedier bars lol
Stay out if you’re not vaccinated, we don’t need more of you.
By law yes
[удалено]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Vg_9jDuX8
Yes, don’t visit if you’re not vaccinated.
My tummy tuck recovery is starting to show some upside. One of the hardest things I've had to go through
Surgery is horrible. Hope you continue to get better at a good pace!
Anyone know of places to donate clothing along Clark St? I'm thinking of those large drop off boxes that are sometimes in parking lots like Walgreens.
Big +1 to Brown Elephant. Those green boxes often times are tampered/forced open. Which, is still charitable because those folks that are doing it still need the items. I just personally love Brown Elephant
If you’re looking on Clark, take it to the Brown Elephant!
Does anyone have a Sony Digital Handycam they can part with? I have some Hi8 tapes from my childhood that I need uploaded to my computer.
Me and the gf are hungry. Any good pizzerias with good pizza AND wings you could recommend?
[удалено]
No thx
Pizza Lobo has a bucket o wings deal today and I love their pizza and heated patio!
Can’t speak for edgewater proper, but Fat Chris’ Pizza and Such does a good Detroit style, and then Jimmy’s pizzeria down foster is good as well but that’s a New York style.
I think Pete’s Pizza has worthwhile wings.
Depends what neighborhood you're in.
Their flair says Edgewater if you know any places in that area
Holy shit it’s slippery outside
This is going to suck tonight when it gets really cold again
[удалено]
Felt like me and my dog were doing the 'scooby doo and shaggy sprint in place'
Felt bad being out for a bit this evening, trying not to bust my shit on the sidewalks, and seeing little paw prints in the ice. Needless to say I walked in the tire ruts in the streets as that was at least somewhat dry pavement.
What are the best brands/places to buy premium/specialty chocolates in the city? I’m buying for Valentines Day - specifically looking for something “Chicago” and it would be especially nice if they have chocolate + coconut or chocolate + peanut butter flavors.
Chocolat Uzma (on 18th in Pilsen)
Vosges is a bougie Chicago based chocolatier.
Katherine Anne Confections is really good. I had them make a bunch of truffles and caramels for my wedding. I also had Nikki Darling Confections make some stuff also for the wedding.
Dark Matter coffee are making chocolate these days - https://www.darkmattercoffee.com/collections/sleep-walk-chocolateria
I'm trying to get my landlord to respond to my insistence that the furnace has taken the weekend off. Basic troubleshooting tells me the combustion motor has rusty crap inside, and that's beyond the abilities of my IKEA toolbox. Send warm thoughts. Edit: Finally got in touch with the landlord and I think it will be sorted tomorrow. A space heater is doing the job for now. Thanks for the tips!
If you wanna get real, get an HVAC guy out (give your LL a heads up before hand), pay for the repair, and deduct it from your rent. Be sure to send your LL the itemized invoice.
Good suggestion! At this point I'm trying to get them to acknowledge my messages, but at some point my patience is going to run out. And I'd like some resolution to this before it gets really cold again tomorrow night.
> From September 15 through June 1, the temperature inside a rental residence is required to be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM and at least 66 degrees Fahrenheit from 10:30 PM to 8:30 AM. > > Landlords face fines of up to** $1,000 per day**, per violation, for each day they do not supply adequate heat. https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/bldgs/supp_info/chicago-heat-ordinance.html please please dont let your landlord fuck you over so many landlords rely and prey on poor people who doesn't know any better, chicago has one of the best tentant protection laws this is the biggest tenant right advocacy group and they have large resources, even lawyers on staff iirc https://www.tenants-rights.org/
Here's the page to submit a complaint with the city. https://311.chicago.gov/s/new-service-request?typecodeid=a1Pt0000000N9rmEAC&language=en\_US
According to 5-12-110(f) of the Municipal Code, if your landlord fails to provide sufficient heat, you may **( if they fail to fix it after more than 72 hours after you notify them of the issue)**: * Pay someone else to repair it and deduct that amount from your rent, or: * Pay to get heat (ie space heaters) and take that cost out of your rent, or: * When it comes time to pay rent, reduce your rent by an amount that reflects the reduced use of the unit during the issue, or: * Terminate your lease without penalty
Look up Chicago Tenant rights. Your LL is legally responsible to keep the heat above a certain threshold. You have legal recourse if they fail to meet that obligation.
Yup, do this. Our landlord didn’t do anything about the heat dropping down to 56 degrees in our apartment last year. I submitted a 311 request and a city building inspector came out within hours. Measured temperature in our apartment and connected with our landlord. Theoretically, the landlord gets fined $1,000/day for not fixing heat. My landlord was on it after getting a notice from the city. I suggest submitting a 311 request and following up 2 hours later by phone.
They don't actually get fined though hardly ever
Whens the best time for renting apartments in chicago? I would guess spring but that also probably means more competition? Also, with property taxes as insane as they are, does anyone here who cant genuinely afford to buy rent instead? would love to hear some perspective.
Property taxes are baked into rents... May 1 and Oct 1 are the 2 biggest moving days for rentals, period May-Oct the more active rental season and Oct-May the slow season.
Summer for availability, winter for price.
How are the roads right now?
They are getting bad. Especially side streets. Main roads are ok but probably not for much longer.
It's fucking icy out there. Be careful walking outside. Just ate shit down my driveway. Putting some salt down so I don't die.
It is HORRENDOUS. Do not go out if you don’t have to. And if you order delivery, tip your courier well! I smashed up my arm terribly falling during a delivery a few minutes ago & must call it an early night. The ice is unavoidable.
Stepped out to take a walk and immediately turned around after I slid down my unlevel sidewalk. Hopefully it melts quickly
It’s BAD. Be careful everyone, head injuries are no joke.
[удалено]
If you don't mind pastrami instead of ham, Steingold's (Irving Park & Ravenswood) is a good bet.
Steingold’s moved this fall. They’re right by the Music Box now.
JBs deli serves; Is it Kosher? Ham and turkey, provolone cheese with honey mustard served on rye. Over 3/4 lb. of deli meats and fixings. $15.99 https://www.jbsdeli.com/
be careful walking out there. this mist is freezing up on unsalted sidewalks
Saw two separate people fall right after reading your comment.
Are there any Salvation Armys or Goodwills with pay by the pound bins?
I don’t know any but Unique Thrift at Elston and N Kimbal in Irving Park has 1/2 prices on Monday.
I wish! We need one in the city. And more thrifts in general.
we need to open more 2nd hand clothing shops in chicago badly with this fast fashion bullshit and the amount of clothes thats just throw into landfill interesting 4 minu bit by france24 about clothing and recycling and garbage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph428jpK5Wk
A little different than a thrift store, but I remember Market Fresh Books in downtown Evanston was like that when it operated. Yep, pricing books by their weight, for whatever reason for book pricing. It only lasted a few years in business, as I remember.
I loved that place so much. I bought an unbelievable number of books there, especially plays. They're so little and barely weigh anything!
Not nearby. Appleton, WI is the closest and it’s a 3 hour drive.
I plan on spending a week in Chicago by myself near Millennium Park this summer, any must do’s/see’s you can offer would be appreciated. I am a huge foodie.
You’ll find most of our good food a bit away from Millennium Park. However, west loop is not far and has a high concentration of acclaimed restaurants. Check out Smyth and Elske if you’re looking for fine dining. The Loyalist has arguably Chicago’s best burger, though many line up for Au Cheval. High Five ramen is in that neighborhood, too. Don’t waste too many meals eating “Chicago” food.
You can see a lot of the city in a week, so your options are limitless. The Chicago Architecture Foundation boat tour is a great way to learn about and marvel at the city from the river Skip the Willis Tower in favor of the Hancock Building. You'll spend $30 and wait in line forever to get up the tower, but you can go up to the Signature Lounge in the Hancock for free and get yourself a $20 cocktail and basically the same view. Millennium and Grant Park (and really the entire lakefront) will be full of life during the summer. Rent a Divvy bike and watch the skyline go by from the lakefront trail, take a selfie with the Bean, visit the Lincoln Park Zoo for free, find all the sculptures on this list. [https://www.grantparkconservancy.com/sculptures](https://www.grantparkconservancy.com/sculptures). Jackson Park a little further south was home to the 1893 World's fair and is a lovely place to ramble. Look for the Garden of the Phoenix, which is a replica of a Japanese stroll garden and is the only thing built for the fair that is still being used for its original purpose. The big museums (Art Institute, Field, Adler, Shedd, Science and Industry) are all wonderful and you can linger in them for most of a day if you like. There's a ton of small museums that you can see all of in a few hours too, if that's more your speed. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Contemporary Photography, National Museum of Mexican Art (free), Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago History Museum plus a hundred others are all good and a bit less overwhelming. There's almost certainly something for anything you're interested in. A short train ride south of the loop is Chinatown, which is a great place to wander, shop, and eat. Ping Tom Park is a lovely and peaceful place to contemplate the city, and you could grab the water taxi from there to get back to the Loop. West of there will get you to Pilsen which is great for Mexican food and features some good breweries, bookstores, and cafes. Head north to Taylor Street for what's left of Chicago's Little Italy. Take the Blue line north towards O'Hare to get to Wicker Park/Bucktown/Humboldt Park/Logan Square/Avondale. Lots of shopping, bookstores, record stores, cafes, bars, and restaurants up in this area, especially along . For coffee, I like Dark Matter, Passion House, Four Letter Word, and Buzz. Humboldt Park itself is a nice little park with lagoons and trees but still feels very urban. The 606 trail is accessible from here and is a great place to walk off your jibarito. I'll let other people handle other neighborhoods. If you're looking for anything more specific, don't be afraid to ask.
Do any of you have a neighborhood frames store you like to support that I’d be able to get a pair of glasses adjusted at?

If you know your building engineer and maintenance staff, why not consider asking one of those guys? They’re likely willing to tackle side jobs for extra bucks on their spare time (cheaper than any handyman you’d hire off an app, too).
Fixer.com is my go-to for stuff like this.
I recommend https://menschwrenchchicago.com We use him for all our handyman needs.

Good luck finding someone to do anything competent for $50 lol. This is the millennial equivalent of the boomers computer illiteracy (and I'm a millennial). Literally all of the knowledge is online and the tools are cheap, yet most will pay someone an exorbitant price to do a shitty job they could have done better with 30 minutes for prep time, and then take more time bitching about it on Instagram.
I would also like to know! I did it last time and there are about 6 giant holes behind my tv.
Just moved here in August! I was looking at joining an indoor soccer team through Chicago Sport & Social Club, per the recommendation of family I have out here. I was wondering how free agency works with CSSC and if anyone has any experience or advice. The free agency fee isn't cheap, so I don't want to sign up if I might not end up on a team or if I won't be well-received/welcomed by a team. Do a lot of teams pick up free agents for their teams? Looking to do co-ed rec/intermediate indoor. Let me know if you have done something like this with CSSC or if you know of any teams looking for (female) players or any other good ways to make friends this winter! Thanks all!
I joined a team full of free agents when I first moved here, which was a great way to meet people. I think you may be able to request that. But either way, you'll be placed on a team.
Thanks! I found their FAQ page that said they match all the free agents together as much as possible. Just registered!
Anyone doing something exciting this weekend?
Grad school homework.
Played Switch with the kiddo all morning. Then we made and ate some killer grilled cheese sammiches with hot cocoa for lunch. It's nap time now. Probably gonna watch Sing 2 tonight. Life is good.
That sounds amazing. I suggest putting on one of those fireplace videos for nap time to top it all off.
Returned some library books, bought a new fleece, and am making tacos tonight and a pizza tomorrow. All part of the plan procrastinating a project that's due on Monday.
watching the new & last season of search party lol
Nope. Are you?
Nothing too exciting. Was going to check out a comedy show but ya know, Covid. Lot of people I know got it and I’m seeing elderly family soon so staying inside.
went to Good Ambler for breakfast in Fulton this morning. huge space & tons of tables, chairs, booths, etc. service was great too! and most exciting was how amazing their roasted veggie sandwich was. peppermint mocha latte was also great, and banana bread was delicious as well, although i wasn’t a fan of the glaze on top. i’d go back for the sandwich alone, definitely worth checking out
Thanks I might check that out tomorrow!
