My office has two large windows. That sucks right now. I can feel the cold.
Hey! Any chance one of you fine people is a Tech Project Manager? My company (located in the Loop on the corner of Monroe/Dearborn) needs to hire one super soon. Pay's in the low six figures for anyone with 5+ years of experience. Hit me up for details if you're interested! :)
Thanks! PM'd. :)I know someone who is looking, he worked for Williams for a long time. What company, if you don't mind me asking? Or PM me, and I'll hit up my buddy and see what his status is
thanks for letting me know this happened.I need a GIF of the salt truck sliding into the lake today, for reasons.
Those two dudes that unfortunately drove into the harbor a bit ago. Doesn't that happen semi-regularly? People driving into the lake?I drove by and was wondering why there were some many cop and emergency vehicles and a rescue boat. I couldn't imagine a car jumping the barrier.
Well, this idiot will be in line for a dispensary opening at an ungodly hour.
https://blockclubchicago.org/2019/12/30/where-to-buy-legal-weed-in-chicago-on-january-1/I'm really hyped but have no idea where I should go. Just moved from Uptown to Little Village do I'm a little wiped. A smoke would be delightful.
Lol.
I'm closest to Columbia Care in Jeff Park, might see what the lines are like in the morning and if they aren't too bad get something. I'm in no hurry tho.
We've made our NYE habit to be drinking fancy beer at a relaxed taproom at midnight and this year is Moody Tongue 🍻

Looks like the closest to you would be Herbal Care.
EDIT: also I'll mention that site Block Club Chicago is like 50 more subscriptions away from their goal for 2019 and I can't praise their work enough. Essential local journalism. If you wanna know what's happening to the weird closed storefront on your block or what's up with the construction down the street or what crazy shit your alderman is trying to pull, they're the dudes.
I gotta imagine they will. I don't have hard figures but from what I remember of living in LA, the street prices in chicago were similar or even higher than dispensaries there, and that was with a plug with a weak offering not the plentiful selection of a dispensary.Just got outta Dispensary 33 around 10. The line was pretty manageable before opening. It's way, way down on Clark now.
Also, that price hike is no joke - easily 15-30% above street prices. But that's the trade-off, I suppose. I'm sure they'll settle down after more spots open and there's actual competition.

For sure, there's definitely some rationale behind it, but I think the sticker shock is especially potent because other states have seen substantially lower costs. Compared to Colorado, prices are about 2X. For Washington, it's probably about 50% higher here. Again, I'm sure it's a supply/demand thing. There really aren't that many stores and there's a ton of buzz, so they could probably charge twice as much and still sell out.disclaimer: I don't smoke.
But it seems like a price increase over street price would make sense, considering you can just drop in at any time, and the store front cost and employee cost, etc. Plus not having to deal with "finding" shady characters to buy things from.
Damn lake tried to eat me during my run. Oak St Beach barely exists anymore.
Does anyone remember the water level of the lake being this high before?
Yeah, I remember being able to walk out about 25 feet onto the lake at certain spots. I saw people go out further, but I was too scared.
So I'll be going in Chicago Feb 14th - 18th with my gf. I was wondering if there are any interesting events going on during that weekend?
I know it's the NBA all-star weekend so the city will be really busy be we aren't here for basketball.
We are travelling from Toronto and are just here to enjoy the city and food. So far I've only made reservations at Momotaro. I was also looking at Rooh and Imperial Lamian.
I was wondering if anyone has been to these restaurants and can tell me if they are worth going to.

All 3 are great. Imperial Lamian has great xiao long bao, but it is pricey. Rooh's great.
I've been to Imperial Lamian for team lunches at work. The noodles and soup dumplings were really good.
Thank you all. I'll try to go to all three if I can. I wanted to go to a Michelin star restaurant but the prices are bit high. Especially with the Canadian dollar being so weak right now. Maybe next time I'll be able to go to Alinea.
