that game was lit. Chicago no doubt has the best sports fans. Dude I was sitting by was telling me about everything related to the Cubs and Wrigley Field like the Wrigley Roof Top fan experience and the team owner walking by our section. When they found out I was from Nor-Cal but an A's fan 
I regret not taking the Red Line to the game instead of dealing with parking

Wish my phone battery didn't die. The atmosphere around the stadium after the game 
Everyone is pretty chill except some of the
at my hotel I'm staying at Downtown. Guess they didn't like the Benz I'm renting

all this means is I will NOT be stepping foot anywhere downtown or on the northside. too much shyt going on, and too many road closures between the marathon,
and the cubs game.

Downtown is beautiful and I've been wanting to live down there in a tall building surrounded by lights my whole life. Its too expensive down there and I could be paying mortgage on a 3 unit for what you pay for rent down there. I love it though.

I'd never live downtown in a high rise. waiting for elevators sucks. having no parking for your family and friends if they come to visit sucks. not to mention the cost. I can't see myself ever living in a dwelling that houses multiple units personally.
I think CPS is going to come to a deal at the last minute. they DO NOT want to strike. but it's bullshyt. I put my kid in the bed early cuz I'm assuming they will have school tomorrow until further notice. if they have a strike or not doesn't effect me in the least.
my oldest kid is in private school, so she is going regardless. and my 1st grader goes to public school. if there's a strike, she stays home with me tomorrow and I work at home (which is lucky in this instance). the school already sent two weeks worth of homework just in case. but this shyt is bogus for traditional working people who have to make plans for their kids and don't know what the fukk is going on. they can't even plan accordingly because the CPS is going all the way up to the last minute with this shyt. they should have been working all weekend to get this shyt done instead of trying to do it now.

I agree with all of that. I just love how it looks down there. I've been to parties and hotels down there and the views from the window are amazing. I felt like I was somewhere else down there. Having the gym, the small convenience stores, pool and lounge area for family and friends would be nice all in one building. The parking is a problem. My husband has 3 cars and I have 1.
My daughters school has a contingency plan where you can still take your child to school and support staff is there. She goes the park district that has main building on the same block within steps of the school so she will walk over there with friends. Staff will wait outside for them. So, im in a lucky group, some of my coworkers have kids picked up and dropped off at the job. So I can imagine they have no help if their child's school doesnt have a plan like my baby school does.

it looks nice down there and seems cool. but it's not for me. simple things like running errands are such a hassle because you have to go all the way downstairs and get your car and then go. or go downstairs and find a cab or bus. one of my best friends lived downtown for years. once on waterside where you could see lake shore drive and navy pier from his window. that was sweet. but where he lived had the WORST parking in the city. the only saving grace is, his place had a parking space in the building and I could use it cuz he didn't have a car. and his crib was downtown, but wayyyyy off the beaten path. so even if I took the train, I'd have to take a bus down randolph and still have to walk over 2 blocks to get to the building. it was totally inconvenient. then dude moved to a place on franklin and van buren. that was much better. we mainly kicked it during bears games, and in the financial district (where he lived) there was abundant free parking on sundays, so that was pretty easy to drive to.
I think most of the schools have contingency plans. but I dont even know if I'm comfortable sending them to the school that's not really staffed or equipped to watch kids cuz the teachers aren't gonna be there. there's literally a school across the street from me, and then another one 1 block south. but my kid's school is about 6 blocks away, and I'm not driving up there tomorrow unless school is in session.
my old lady works in downers grove, so she's real spoiled with me working at home cuz I can basically handle any child-related emergency or issue with ease because my schedule is so flexible.
Naw, I heard about it driving up . I went to the Cubs game Friday.
If you didn't have kids I think it wouldn't be a problem for you. Because of Uber having a car downtown is pretty pointless. Hell, even up north. I live in Uptown and I drive my car once a month at most. I just park somewhere and check on it every couple of days. I could uber everywhere I need to go and still save money by avoiding a monthly payment and insurance.
Contemplating moving to Wolf Point West or The Parker next year, if so I'll likely sell my paid off car or get a car lot membership and leave it.
