Anyone Live in Chicago??

I moved to CHICAGO 6 weeks ago...and live about 30 minutes(bike ride) from the LOOP and almost everywhere else...Just wondering if anyone has good sugg. I have been riding my bike all over so I found some sweet places but up for more suggestions

 

I live in Chicago for 9 months of the year....I lived in the Loop last year, and am moving to my new aparment in Lincoln park in about 5 days.
I've got a bunch of suggestions for you- just depends on what you like doing.

 

Hey guys, whats up? I just moved to Chicago about 2 months ago and i'm in the Wheeling suburb. Also looking for suggestions and got some myself. Looking to chill with someone? My girl and I are here in Chicago and are very fun, open people looking to make some friends. Shoot me a ring sometime 6783336884

chicago is amazing, have you all checked out belmont and clark? or the old town school of folk music? never discount milwaukee as a locale for awesomeness, its really just a satellite of chicago anyway. evanston is one of my favorite burbs (probably cause i lived there for half my life), check it out.


and of course the shows, theres so many! ratdog, panic, and OAR in milwaukee next weekend, stoopid on the first in waukee, on the the third here, zilla, moe, mmsw, umphreys for new years. check out jambase.

but anyway, chicago is great, theres no shortage of shit to do in the city.

 

Aw of course! Bellmont and Clark is one of my favorite places to go living in the city. Whether it be the head shops or the fine exotic food and hookah bars. I don't get up there enough and its only a fifteen minute ride on the redline.

 

damn straight... i best be seeing all of you @ lotus and msmw!!!

 

To what are you refering?

 

chicago chicago, my kind of town!
yep yep i be livin in the SOOOOUTHSIDE of chicago.
near us cellular field.

 

belmont and clark is alright, great for head shops, but wicker park is the best part of chicago.
go to kinetic playground for good live music.

 

i love the kinetic. i was there last night for terrapin. were you there?

 

Belmont and Clark is full of overpriced stupid shops with douche bags that have overblown egos.

drift half a mile away for wreckless records.

 

nope i wasnt at kinetic for that, i haven't been there in about a month because im addicted to going to marshall mcgearty's in wicker park. if you love crazy cigarettes and board games, go there.

 

You live at wicker park? I hear theres this place there, Quimbys, I really wanna check out.

 

yep, i havent heard of that place.
i agree about belmont and clark.
the only reason i go there is for novelties and stuff.
the alley sucks

what part do you live in?

 

Yea the Alley has some sick horror movie tshirts, but I can never see myself spending that much money on a freaking shirt.

I'm from the burbs, reppin Skokie.

 

DoooooPage. Nuthin to do here. Probably why my dh and I have all these kids....

 

oh skokie. i spent most of my life in deerfield.
my roommates from glencoe.

 

A good friend of mine grew up in glencoe.

They got money over there....

 

i know right,
try going to school in lake forest for 2 years.
insane.

 

Try being stranded in Glencoe on a Sunday night waiting for a train that comes every 3-4 hours. There isn't any bars to go to, not even a diner to sit in, absolutely nothing, save for a dry cleaners (??). I started to feel like I was in an episode of Friday the 13th. We walked around, passed some beautiful houses, some people getting ready to bbq, and then down a wooded trail where I started to think we might end up in a newspaper article if we continued.

In short, Glencoe is creepy. I was relieved to get on that train.
