Achtung! Chicagotonians

What don't you like about it? Besides the fact that it's lily white and boring AF. On the bright side, there is a good German restaurant near you on Irving Park Rd.

Mostly it's just not my flavor rather than "this sucks, I hate it." The street signs do creep me out. Very Hitler Mussolini.

I certainly hated the walk back on Harlem but was just scoping it out and don't need to do that again.

Saw Edelweiss on here a few months ago before I booked this place so it didn't really register as to where it was. They also have STL and San Antonio vids. They started talking about where they lived in SA and I was all, these people are following me.

It has often made me ask, why would anybody live anywhere else?

Maybe it was just from being closer to it but it felt bigger/taller than the huge one east of STL that dwarfs Monks Mound.

I went north from Pontiac to Seneca and then to Yorkville and really dug it. Would probably be in the ditch from taking photos if not for the camera problem saving me. Then I managed to hit three or four retail drag strips on the way here while trying to avoid 55, which I should have just taken to Harlem. I was worried about the car but it was fine and 55 would have been more casual.

Yeah but, you don't get any kicks on 55.

I'm going to do a revised cover that mentions how 66 is just the 55 frontage road in a lot of IL apart from some earlier alignments so the kicks are not too dissimilar. It will be a big hit.

Not too tired to take a long walk today but worried I'm going to be too tired to go look at apts much of the time because being social requires way more energy.
 
some photos for the bobs, etc.

@Theodore — the Trim and Tidy is like two blocks from my place. I’m totally offended that you’re #teamsonny now and didn’t stop by. *grrr*

Pics? Heard too much about this dog not to see him.

Don't know if I'm just really lagged or if something's wrong with me but instead of just going to sleep like I wanted to I went looking for shoes for my clown feet -- like I tried and failed to find in Springpiss, and like I do before pertineer every trip I take.

Went to Rich's. Checkout lady spoke Polish to me and I just stood there like a dumbass. Got some borscht for the first time. Less beety han I would have guessed, lot of celery and carrot. Will try not to spill it all over the airbnb as fate demands. Heard some nice reggae on WLUW. Got deja vu a lot today for whatever reason. If I drop dead in here they'll at least find a nice basset birthday card I got for my mom at the Jewel's.

see my recomendations for shoes in my sewing machine thread Theodore :idea:

I have posted the brownie before but apparently you don't look at my posts :cop:

Brownie likes to eat poop (he even ate a hobo poop once), dead animals, spoiled containers of coconut water (the absolute worst smeel ever...seriously), basically anything that stinks brownie the work dog is interested in eating.....but he's a good boy!


*edit* I should add that these days he stays in the office with the air conditioner and heater. These were from about a year ago and he has to be chained cuz he' meander off otherwise. he's super friendly and good with peoiple and seemingly cats but he hates other dogs although he gets along good with the dog nextdoor.

There was an accident and I got switched with the Theodore from the universe where you posted brownie pics.

That's a good cartoon/children's show-movie dog. Could you trade Sonny for him?

I'll check them shoes out but I think it'll be easier to just get new feet.
 
For radio I prefer Chrip (107.1) and WZRD (88.3) from my alma mater, Northeastern Illinois University. ZRD has a history of playing a LOT of weird stuff.
