Evanston can be pretty pompous, well the whole north shore is pretty full of itself. But they do have the original Sarkis cafe up there and I’m quite smitten with bacon lorettas.

But even without Sarkis and how boujie Evanston is, I’d still take Evanston over Oak Park.

funny

Evanston for me. Closer to the water!

They're both so similar to be honest. I live just south of Evanston in Rogers Park but I cover Oak Park for work. Id prefer Evanston due to its proximity to the lakefront but i hear the taxes are outrageous

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.
