I want to live in Wrigley.

It's a lot of fun, other than when the tourists are down here running around crazy. Most are pretty respectful, but there are always those looking to cause trouble.

Haha I would love to see at least one game there. (as a fan Fisch..) I want to work somehow or anyway within Chicago Cubs baseball. That would be a dream come true haha So sleeping in the ballpark would be a step in the right direction.

What part do you live in? I'm possibly moving to Chicago this Fall and would consider the Wrigleyville area. It seems like a hell of a lot of fun.

LOL, no they really don't.

You do relaize some specs for these jobs and some conditions of the job set forth by engineers is that it must be union labor or even union made product?


The choice for union work or not is many times made for the end user well before the job is approved by bids and inspectors.

Yes again that Engineer company is hired by the customer. He will explain what his specs will cost in the end the customer makes the call. Very simple person/company paying for the labor makes the call.

Completely false. You are completely ignorant on the issue. My job within my company involves me bidding work to these engineers and contractors on a daily basis nationwide and in Canada. You have no idea how these contracts are set up and no idea the red tape unions set up in to get themselves jobs. There are jobs in cities like Chicago, NY, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and on and on that the materials and product on site being installed must be union made, let alone if the labor/contractors must be.

You're clueless. Do yourself a favor and go away before I continue to make you look foolish.

BTW, my company has product in Wrigley Field and I'm familiar with the work taking place now. I'll also be doing a job in Green Bay soon as well.

But just keep talking out of your ass.

I live at Sheffield and School, literally 3 blocks from Wrigley. I have a condo here with a GREAT view of the city. Prices are pretty expensive around here only because it's wrigley. I love the area! You can find some pretty good places to rent on craigslist in the area. Let me know if you do decide to move, I'm out and about in Wrigleyville a lot!

NICE place, I am in there often! My favorite is Redmonds, Sheffield and Clark. It's pretty much where I go the most. Not a lot of tourists, except game days, but they are usually in and out pretty quick. I can't tell you how often I get handed free tickets because people go in for a drink and have an extra they can't get rid of. Love it!

Good deal. Thanks!

I'll start looking in a few months once I find out for sure what I'm going to be doing.

In my eyes, there isn't a better place to live in the city. And to be honest, only clark street is crazy, and that is generally only after games and weekends. I have yet to see a fight to be honest, at least since I moved in here last july. Everyone around here is great, and there is SO much great food in the area!

I got accepted there, but still waiting on a few other schools' decisions. Ideally, I'd like to be in Chicago, but if UNC is the best bet, then I'll look there.

Hey, no reason to turn into an asshole, you can have a debate without telling someone they are clueless. I am not clueless i have been in the union for 5 years now. I don't see all of the bidding in's and out's but I know how it works. The "red tape" I'm guessing is having the Architect or Engineer require that the person and product is certified for installation. Usually in those cases then product or job is a more difficult one and they want the work done by someone who has put in the required 4-6 years of class time and been taught exactly the correct way to do it.

One other thing the cities you mentioned are all strong union towns. Besides a handful of other cities most the unions do not have a stranglehold on jobs. In my 5 years i have been on 1 union only job. And it was a hospital where they don't take chances on it being done wrong. If something fails because a guy was not trained properly at a hospital it could be a huge problem.

I'm sure you will come back with, "your stupid" "shut up" I'm way smarter then you blast... You live where the union is strong, check into it in other places and you will see different. Here in Iowa its "right to work" unless its hospital its all about the bid.

You just proved you are clueless.

Thanks.

You obviously don't.

Seeing as I deal with the "ins and outs" of it on a daily basis and work directly with menchanical contractors, engineers, distributors, local inspectors, and the customers..........and you are some dumb ass pipe fitter....

I'd sit down and STFU if I were you,.

Wrong.


1 union only job. And it was a hospital where they don't take chances on it being done wrong.
Then why did they hire the union?

Lulz.

I work in Iowa shit head.

LOL at the union mentality of "if it's not Union any dumbass can do it!" As if any dumbass can't just join a union.
