If Im not mistaken..I believe he lives in a pretty ritzy town outside of Chicago

You're mistaken...same shithole as I live in.

Elgin, and not South Elgin...which is nicer.

Are we talking about the suburbs? I took the thread title as "the Chicago metropolitan area" which includes the suburbs.

Fact is Chicago is mostly a shithole. Beat up old houses, pothole heaven, ridiculous traffic, shitty weather.....what more could you want?

My question to Ommy is: Which of these problems is he avoiding by living in the suburbs.

I go to church in Elgin and used to volunteer at an elementary school out there. Yikes.

All you people who hate Chicago and/or don't live there need to get a life. The title of this thread is clear, if you don't like it there's another thread for you to express your hate. I'm so sick

p.s. Om is a ******.

Sox fans are smart.

The cooler weather that is coming.

I'm not a huge fan of the public transit system here. In some places it runs fantastic and you can get to places easily and quickly, but in a lot of other places not so much. For example the closest major street near me that runs north and south doesn't even run on Saturdays. Having to wait 30+ minutes for a bus at times is a giant pain in the ass too.

Also I may have jury duty tomorrow (for like the fourth time in eight years the fucks) and it'll take an hour and a half to get there by public transit.

Well public transportation was mentioned earlier, isn't that then part of the discussion?

If it's something about Chicago that you love, yes, very much so.

 

[Heidenlarm]

You know I'd be okay completely with the weather if true winter was only December/January (we can have all the cold, blizzards, ice during this time)..February mostly saw 30-40 degrees..March 40-50, April 50-60, May 60-70..so on...Fall arrived in September..Spring actually happened. That kind of thing.

Well if you don't love the weather of Chicago then take it to a different thread apparently, discourse is not allowed.

Well I mean...that's why we have two threads for the different opinions?

 

[Heidenlarm]

Well why am I getting singled out? There was talk about San Fran's public transport system and DC's what does that have to do with things people love about Chicago?

It was a comparison to Chicago public transport which I believe someone said they liked. We don't need to pursue this line of inquiry any further, but if you really wanna bash on CTA or whatever the more appropriate thread is the things I hate about Chicago thread.

Carry on good sir.

I wont speak for Ommy...But if I remember correctly, it isnt a burb he lives in..

I must be wrong then, but I thought it was a nicer upscale town he lived in

 

[Nail Polish]

Hmm intrigued. Where?

Ask Ommy...There seems to be some confusion on the subject

 

[MrsRexGrossman]

I will die if he lives in Elgin. I don't live there but I do a lotttt of community stuff there a few times a week. I'm gonna keep my pepper spray on my keys.

So when Ommy vacations in California does he stay in Compton or Fresno?
