Yo so what we thinking about Toni preckwinkle raising the county sales tax? My wife works in Tinley park, so it's nothing for her to take her business over to will county.

I think that shyt is gonna drive a lot of business out of the county and jobs with it. The sales tax is already high as shyt at 9.25% currently.

toni preckwinkle used to be on the board (back when she was just an alderman) at my old job when I worked for a group of community health centers. I used to see her up there regularly.

you know she's on the :mjpls:

I have seen her a few times while running thru hyde park cuz she lives out there. one time, she was walking this BIIIIIGGG ass dog over by like 52nd and woodlawn. I also saw her at the fruit market over on 53rd and kimbark. Both times she said hello :yeshrug:

as for taxes, I don't mind paying my fair share, but there needs to be more accountability on all levels of government to insure they aren't squandering my hard earned dollars.

when mcdonald's is charging $7-$8 for a meal, why not drop an extra $2 and get five guys which is far superior.
It's ridiculous what mcdonald's charges for their subpar food. I haven't ate anything from them in over a year. Here in Decatur, my favorite burger joint is Culver's :ahh:

We dont have a 5 Guys, so we gotta drive to Champaign if we want it.

I dont even really go to five guys or mcdonald's these days. but if I have the choice, it ain't gonna be mcdonald's with their jacked up pricing.

I got no problem with mcdonald's food if it's priced lower than superior alternatives. but these days, that shyt is high as fukk, so I have ZERO interest in going there.

Starbucks coming to Englewood
Posted 9:12 AM, July 16, 2015, by Karly Free, Updated at 09:13am, July 16, 2015

CHICAGO – First Whole Foods…now a Starbucks is opening in the Englewood Neighborhood.

It is part of an effort by Starbucks to help lower unemployment rates among teenagers nationwide.

Plans for the 63rd and Halsted location include a 40-square foot space where teens undergo the same training as new Starbucks employees.

The company is also looking to partner with a neighborhood group to teach young adults valuable communication skills.

Starbucks hopes to hire 100,000 young adults by 2018.

The Englewood location opens next summer.
