BP on South Oak Park

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 does really sound like Lido's. Isn't this the second rumor about Lido's demise?

It's an L3C. Interesting! I've been wanting to learn more about the L3C, and now I know who to ask.
I think there is going to be some learning curve for everybody with new cars. I remember how strange it was to learn to navigate off the red line during rush hour when I first moved here. I probably did stumble or trip once or twice. After some adju…
Noodles & Company is good, I like it, but it is no competition for more "authentic" ethnic food. It costs more, and is more homogenously flavored. That said, it is a useful place when you are with somebody or a group, want something comforting, and…
Thank you for the info, and thank you for posting the letter so I don't need to help their organization's website viewership numbers.
I know we've heard about this story ad nauseum, but a Forest Park guy fought back, and stabbed two of the guys who stole his iPod. Things are truly out of hand when it gets this bad. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/01/5-charged-in-robbery-of…
I like that place, too, though I've only been there once. Delicious, but sort of artery-clogging. :) Simply put, it's diner food done very well.
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…
On a more practical note, one thing I've noticed on the el is that you will be an easier target if you sit by the door. It facilitates the quick getaway. I think it's more comfortable to sit sideways on the Green Line (less shaking somehow), and tho…

- 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.
