I live in Wicker Park and have 12 coffee shops and probably hundreds of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Lots of early 30s people here

Is river north crazy; tell me the truth!

I’m very happy in river north being west of Orleans, north of grand and south of Chicago. Great mix of people and two dog parks in a 5 minute walk. Occasionally get spillover from the bars in the surrounding area but no different than any other neighborhood I’ve been in.

West Loop is only a 20ish minute walk or a quick Uber and prices tend to be cheaper. A lot of workout studios and a brand new lifetime that’s a ten minute walk away

West loop should fit all your needs.

Logan square - a million good places to eat, tons of coffee spots, lots of people out walking on nice days. And you can still find a condo that's affordable (not so much on the SFH)

I have enjoyed Old Town area a lot…plenty of good food places and easy to get to other areas of the city, lower crime, reasonable prices, and easy to get to lake if you like beaches/etc.

This is me, but male and almost 31. Planning my move for next summer. Would be interested to heard where you land. Where are you moving from?

Help me with my struggle!

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
