The character of Rudy in the 1990 Williams pinball machine Funhouse was voiced by Ed Boon, who would go on to create Mortal Kombat two years later.

No, I don’t work for them. But I’ve lived in Chicago 30 years and I’ve bought countless appliances from them. From window ac units, to washer/dryer combos, dishwashers, cooktops, etc. Their customer service is out of this world. They do ship nation-wide.

I haven’t .. but the few L platforms I’ve been on have been salted.

Years ago construction on Lincoln Ave in west Lakeview uncovered rails too. It was awesome!

How I’m spending my extra hour..

They didn’t “fail” .. they actively chose not to bother. They clearly want transit to tank.

Are there any people less useful than politicians?? 🤦‍♂️

It’s almost like these neighborhood groups are utter garbage. No, it’s EXACTLY like that! 🤣

(The South Lakeview Neighbors group is repugnant).

Yeah - those seasons had a few glimpses of greatness, which has me encouraged for the future. Disney pulling out is, in my opinion, a good thing. Maybe this “soft reset” of sorts will invigorate the show. I’m going to miss Ncuti though, he was such a delight.

Quintessential #fall #morning here in the beautiful #midwest.

A tree on a city street in chicago, as the leaves are changing for autumn - it’s aglow with yellows and reds.

#fall has well and truly sprung in the #midwest 😍

Yeah - I’m in a similar situation of taking buses more and more often lately, and for the most part there has been a great improvement. (Hopefully the pace of improvement continues for many more years!)

Three back-to-back Purpleline express trains (and nothing else in between) on the inner loop, and 15 minute gaps between Brownline trains. The #chicago #CTA is not having a great afternoon.

A quintessential #midwest #fall morning to #walk to #downtown #chicago.

I just saved 100% on my car insurance by selling my car!

Just a few hours remaining for the beautiful 2004 #Volkswagen #vw #r32 .. clean, mostly stock, low miles, and the current owner has owned it for almost 20 years! Check it out!

Oh, that’s the worst! A few years ago the City spent millions working on this intersection and … it’s exactly the same. Same deadly design for pedestrians, for cyclists, and terrible even for car since the new stop-lights that cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars, run the exact same cycle. 🤦‍♂️

Memory IS RAM!!

How can you POSSIBLY expect them to do without their yearly trip to St. Moritz?! They’re not savages!

I should follow up - Chicago absolutely needs better leadership, and I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing quality campaigning.

That’s a whole lot of “what” without a single “how”. It’s like all those “amazing” and “futuristic” concept cars you always see, where they don’t have to worry about any realities like where to put the engine, or seat-belts, or can the wheels even turn. 🤦‍♂️

Unless of course the Bears get bored and want a new stadium in just 22 years … like is happening now with Soldier Field, after the renovation they just HAD to have in 2003.

Yellow graffiti spray-painted on the Lakefront Trail in Chicago which says “tear down lake shore drive”.

Yes please!!

Seen on the Lakefront Trail (pedestrian side) just north of Belmont.

Another reason to take transit rather than sit alone in your cars on the Kennedy … you’ll get to avoid AI Slop!

Ugh .. I’m too old to be 52.

This is a symptom … the problem is the utter lack of usable transit in the area you highlighted. (Usable for anything other than to<->from the loop .. which is a minority use-case for most people).

I could see a use for a single lane of traffic in one direction .. for deliveries, ADA, the bus and other local traffic. Force a right turn (off Western) at major intersections.

Mechanical poetry! #vw #r32 #vwr32 #mk4 #mkiv #vr6
