Never seen a group of people struggle more with the concept of forming a line than the average Metra rider. How is it you dorks ride these trains multiple days a week and still can't seem to figure it out?

Why should there be a line? We are all going to the same place. Doesn't matter that someone got there "first" - Just get on board.

You’ve never driven in ATL or ridden train in DC then. ATL is Hunger Games on the Highway while every train at rush hour is akin to the fall of Saigon with everyone fighting for a space. Chicago mass transit is a dream compared to 95% of the rest of the country.

Logistics with the a Chicago CTA isn’t as much of an issue as poor train design. Whoever designed and approved the seating layout was hopefully fired because that’s responsible for most of the congestions during rush hour. NYC is A+ for both reliability and managing congestion even with the fact their transit system shuttles far more people daily than Chicago’s.

How juvenile of you.

Hello! Planning to move to Chicago in Feb(Not the best time, for sure) would love to hear your suggestions about neighbourhoods that you are in and beyond. Currently looking at the loop, Logan square, Lincoln park and Lakeview (would prefer closer to the Red line and groceries)! It’s my first time moving alone and a little nervous lol, would love some help! Budget is around 800$ (2B/2B) for sharing and 1000$ for a studio! Any leads/suggestions/options would be great! TIA!!!

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
