Probably start with what neighborhood you want to live in, then look for buildings. I wouldn’t recommend only caring about your apartment building vs your neighborhood, unless you’re a hermit

I would love to rally everyone to find an eligible bachelor for IBM to give a fairy tale ending to her love story. But I also love her posts! Therefore, we should hide all men in finance, trust funds, 6'5 ", blue-eyed from her.

Budget? One Chicago or NEMA are great options

Stay away from the Loop, Gold Coast, especially River North. Lincoln Park, Lakeview good places to start. Lots of walkable amenities.

You can find a great apt building in many neighborhoods, and for far less than what you’d pay in nyc. What matters is what neighborhood vibe you want

It is Chicago, grow a bullet proof skin!!!

I am kidding. I love Chicago. But yeah, we don't classify safety on per building basis, we do that per neighborhood basis! I thought the question was so weird.

So supposed to head out of town for a long weekend with friends starting the evening of 4/21. My one friend and her son tested positive for Covid on 4/13 and have been sick. She says she is coming on our trip. On the following Thurs 4/28 I need to spend time with my 92 year old diabetic father. Do I go on this trip? I don’t think my friend has quarantined long enough to be sitting with 6 people driving in a van to our location unmasked as well as in the hotel room. Would you go on this trip?
