So for me (and maybe Wilson) moving to Chicago is looking more and more like reality. So now I was wondering if the chicago crew would be willing to help me out with places to live.

Like, where do you all live (I don't need street address, just approximations), what is the general rent in your area, how safe are the streets, etc.


And if anyone would be willing to consider roommates, or know someone looking for roommates, I'd be willing to definitely consider it. I'm pretty clean, not noisy, and will probably be in school/at work for a lot of the time, so you'll probably have the place to yourself for most hours. Also, I don't steal food, and am really fucking chill about just about everytrhing. Seriously, I really don't care.

logan square is respectable




we've even got a food co-op opening up soon so i mean we're on the way up, shit gonna be locally owned and operated even, i'm psyched. we've got a coffee shop that's basically filter 2.0 (ie, AWESOME AND COZY ... AND LOCAL), we've got a cute (overpriced tho) flower shop, we've got a THREE DOLLAR MOVIE THEATER. that is currently showing HOTEL FOR DOGS. three dollar movie theater.

three dollar movie theater

well... ok, 3 dollar movie theater clearly wins

but you only have ONE local coffee shop? we have like 20! haha!

3 dollar theater

yess


well we have like 4 that i can think of offhand, and a starbucks
but i was talking about the one that fuckin owns as opposed to the ones that are just like "well yeah that place is ok"

anyway logan square rules. we have a decent library branch, too, for what it's worth. i know there's libraries all over but still.

[tygrestick.livejournal.com]

library branches are indeed the most important, though it's true they are everywhere.

well! logan square is totally up and coming and awesome, but I still don't think I could ever leave the lakeview area (that's a lie, I'm gonna have to in June. :-() I think also being so close to the lake does it for me, I'm only like 2 blocks away.

"up and coming" is the most dumbshit description of neighborhoods, man, what the hell, that makes it sound as if it not already a good place to live??? what is "up and coming" supposed to mean, people live here it's a good place

[tygrestick.livejournal.com]

well, up and coming is code word for gentrification, which is happening in logan square right now. there are tons of arguments on whether that shit is good or bad or whatever... but I guess it brings in awesome coffee shops.
