Accurate signs are ACCURATE.

I think the "Uptown" one for Bookie is quite apropos.

I have their site bookmarked now thanks to Dante and the sweetass scoop. I keep checking it daily because apparently they are going to offer prints and if they're reasonable then I must have the Uptown and Andersonville ones goddamnit! I think they'd be awesome in the hawllway outside my apartment door. Think I'll pass on the Lincoln Park yea though it was my formative childhood hood and I called it home for almost 20 yrs. To be quite honest the yuppies RUINED it.

IKR?
I think the print posters themselves will probably be reasonable though I have nothing to base this on, LOL. I'm assuming they'll be unframed which should mean that they shouldn't charge an arm and a leg. Then I can throw them in some cheap Ikea frames! Just need to keep a hawk eye out for their Etsy store to go live because it's going to be limited runs.

I will probably get one for every neighborhood I've lived in to chronicle my time here... Wrigley, Lakeview, North Center, Roscoe, South Loop.

I pinned this because I like them, and I didn't want to forget to keep checking back. And I'm a mod so I'm allowed to so anyone who has a problem with that can go piss off...

AAAAHAHAHAHAHA! I remember my first week I moved to Chicago. I said to myself: If I can get laid this week, I will get a mortgage here in Chicago. So after a few whiskeys, I was talking to locals in a bar and asked them where I need to go.
"Viagra Triangle."
"What and where is that?"
"Over near Rush in River North...it is where old convention guys go to throw money at golddiggers. You should be fine you said you were trader right?"
"Well, I WORK with traders, I am a computer geek."
"It wont matter, tell them you are a trader and pay for a round of drinks with your American Express card."
"Nah... it cant be that easy..."
"<shrug>"
So off I go to Viagra Triangle... And my bar locals were SO correct... Which reminds me I need to make my mortgage payment for the month...
P.S. Since living here I can count the number of times I have been back to the Triangle on one hand....

yeah, I can honestly say the same thing, what a joke... the bars aren't even good... some restaurants are nice.... but I can't believe any none golddigger/old guy with too much money, would ever go there.

Snatched up Uptown. Only disappointd they started the rollout with five choices because now it means I will have to get Andersonville later.

I don't even know where or what this one is....
And I'm not slightly insulted at all with this one.
