I’m dying

Underrated pro of moving to Hyde park is that I could go to services at First Presbyterian in Woodlawn (the 4 weekends a year I get my ass to church). The OLDEST organization in Chicago. Chartered in Fort Dearborn

I’m kind of tempted to throw a low ball offer at this 1906 4 bed in Hyde Park. But man I do not want to deal with selling my current place and renovating another even larger apartment. It could really pencil though www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Good Morning

I swear I was once able to easily find vinyls recorded at the gas light on YouTube but I can’t find them for the life of me now

Sorry boss, can’t do that I’m busy yearning

Mfw the YIMBYS were YELLING

At the Edgewater Residents for Responsible Development meeting opposing the upzoning of Broadway and I don’t ever think I’ve seen St Ita’s parking lot this full before

It looks like the Edgewater NIMBY contingent is hosting a community meeting next week if anybody wants to go and counter them

This also describes conversation with more than a few of my friends

Good Morning

People think Calvinist churches would be chud central but they’re actually so woke and I think that’s beautiful

Things must be going so well

Why did they do her like that immediately

Human made horrors beyond your comprehension etc etc

Why is this silent movie so quotable

Interesting co-op unit for sale in Hyde Park. Built in 1892, predating the columbian exposition. 3 beds 1 bath, but with two living rooms and a dining room. Fees seem kinda high at $1.2K/month. But that includes the taxes/utilities and a garage spot. $345K www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

I liked It a lot

In case you wonder what Twitter is like this week it’s basically this

Wait do I want this house in Oak Park? $299K www.zillow.com/homedetails/...?

Hell yeah

Omg yay

Clearly before Frank Lloyd Wright developed his finely honed architectural sensibilities, his Moore-Dugal Residence in Oak Park from 1895 was his first Independent Commission and it is, frankly, totally batshit

Remains of a 2000's era Tuscan Kitchen spotted in this Hyde Park condo for sale. Which is just a really funny place to see one www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Kind of captivated by this 4K square foot Prairie house for sale in Aurora. Chicago's satellite cities don't get enough love for their architecture but there's some gems. Check out that built in grandfather clock. Asking $650K www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

It might be Picasso’s but I can’t ever look at it and not immediately think of Royko

ChicagoTok is so wholesome A baby beaver in a local park

An adjacent department hired somebody whose job is to solve a gap. A gap that I’m seemingly the only person in the org who can help on. Which means this person is basically dependent on me when they could have just asked me instead of hiring this person

about to blow it all on a subscription to the lyric this season I fear

Interesting 1-bed for sale at 'The Mews' in Hyde Park. Interesting old building, despite being built in the 20's it's' a bit of a prairie showpiece. Recently rehabbed which shows. But going from $190K in 2022 to $300K today? In this economy?? www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

We used to have trains that got you between Cleveland and Akron in 38 minutes, which was 5 minutes faster than driving. 80 years later, there are no trains between the two metros.

I think a sprawling apartment here would fix me

Okay yay

Chicago needs 1M more people in it so bad

Blackstone should own all single family homes so the price appreciation goes to my retirement fund and not over leveraged morons who elected Trump, just my opinion

Good Morning

If the season preview was any indicator the Lyric Opera is about to have a really phenomenal season www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcomi...

I was gonna get my top coat dry cleaned before the winter but I just noticed the lining is torn. Any good tailors on the north side that won’t charge an arm and a leg to re-line a coat?
