You could easily go skiing in Humboldt Park.
Rosebud is pretty alright, though I've only been to the one on Rush. Northside grill might fit your needs, too, except it's in The Crotch.

You and Katie and your Westside-centrism.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 19:17 (sixteen years ago) link
If I had a car I might consider some of the stuff out there. But I don't have a car b/c I don't need one. Because I don't live on the West side.

Did I not just suggest a place called "Northside"? I can't be held responsible for their inappropriate name/location issues.

The blue line stopped very suddenly today and a standing woman slipped and fell flat on her front w/out even putting her hands out in front of her. It was bad.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I know it's cold, but I would have found it a little funny... Like when people aren't paying attention and they lean on the old doors that open inwards and then get mauled when the train stops.
― dan m, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Are those doors on any other trains besides the Blue Line? I don't like them.

Jesse, it is a bad idea to drive to the crotch anyway. Traffic SUCKS around there.
― KitCat, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
To reiterate, traffic sucks at the crotch.
― KitCat, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Sorry.
Ay ay ay. We can't leave that hanging there! Come on!
― KitCat, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link
haha ok.
I'm just saying that that's the only decent way to get over there. There are cabs of course. But those are for rich white people.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
There are buses for Damen, North, and Milwaukee. Also, the Blue Line.
― dan m, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link
No good.
I would have to take a bus to Damen.
Also? I would have to take a bus.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Ride your "Red" line to North, take the bus west. It's fast. I have done it.
― dan m, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
just go to moody's, dammit! it's nearby, it's cozy and the food is adequate! that's right: adequate!
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just scared.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I think we're going to Bin 36.
Wine + Cheese = uh-huh.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link
I like wine.
Also, I like this ALOT: http://www.thewavemag.com/images/articles/11001-12000/11151.jpg

That reminds me, I saw a bottle of Sizzurp at a liquor store recently. I thought that they discontinued that shit.
― dan m, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link
never heard of it.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Me neither. Not outside of hip-hop slang, at least.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I thought it was cough syrup or some mix involving it.

NOTE: I am not making any value judgement on this stuff, just the fact that it exists is enough for me.
No codeine, no credibility.

OMG Pandora just played TWO Duran-Duran* songs in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Precious and Come Undone, 2 of my favorites)

I'm doing the LA times crossword.
― KitCat, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm doing the Highlights crossword.
― Jesse, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I did that one today. Also 2 Ben Tausig puzzles (at Metro Times and AV Club) when I had some downtime at work, which used a fair amount of the same answers.

I don' wan' to drive to band practice tonight in the snow.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm having fun on the pizza thread. Pizza turns people into assholes, I think, but that's fine.
― Jordan, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
The roads, at least around here, are completely fine now - even some of the side streets that were a bit treacherous this morning. The sun and traffic has gotten rid of pretty much all the ice/snow on the roads.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
God I have made way too many pizzas to be on that thread. When people started talking about how they liked their pizzas constructed I was all thinking no, no, no, NO, NO.
― dan m, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh good, Jon. I haven't been outside since this morning. I'll still have to scrape snow off my windshield, though.

I know.

I'm just bitching because now that the el stop is literally right around the corner from my apartment, it makes me want to drive less.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I hear ya there, except as of late I have been too lazy in the morning to get up in time.
