There's a pretty huge disconnect between the BP corporation responsible for the oil spill and any BP station owned by a local entrepreneur. Further, once oil comes out of the ground, everybody buys it and trades it around the world very freely. Yes,…

Butchers have mucho macho foodie appeal right now. But like anything hip, this could easily become a fast-fading trend. If I were to open a butcher shop, I would work hard on providing "old school" value and excellent service to customers, and I wou…

Yasmeen, just an FYI, you've been describing the window for the discount as both through tomorrow, and through 7/28, one month away from now. I do hope to see it!

It's an L3C. Interesting! I've been wanting to learn more about the L3C, and now I know who to ask.

People make decisions on how to commute based on a varied and complex set of preferences that add up to their level of relative satisfaction with their choice, as compared to the alternatives. One must assume there is some level of equilibrium at pl…

There were a couple times I felt personally unsafe on the Red Line, usually late at night. I think I feel safer on the Green Line, but this is obviously not justified by the evidence! I do think part of it is that I was more vigilant on the Red Line…

Hi Aaron, welcome. I just took a peek at your blog. You go to U of C, right? Just curious, what's the easiest way to get to Hyde Park from Oak Park? I've yet to find a great solution. I look forward to chatting with you.
