And what is even worse is that I am quite sure that this was not the most appalling thing in the Trib today. It is a truly repulsive paper, although there are four or five writers who are actually capable of rational thought.
You know, thereâs this amazing thing called the Internet where you can get information about places that you donât actually live in. I know. Itâs amazing!

So, ever been to Chicago, even once?
Well, I am a Chicagoan and I know all of those places. That gives me A valid point of view - not the only one, but a valid one. Quit denigrating the opinions of those who donât agree with you by insulting them or their current location (It ends up reflecting poorly on you.)

Do planes fly there? Can cars even drive there? I mean that five hour drive up 65 has got to be a killer! I donât know, though, since no one can possibly get there.

Thanks for your concern. You have no idea what you are talking about. Chicagoâs economy is booming. Just because our current teabagging oligarch governor is trying to use the long standing pension crisis to further his anti-union agenda does not indicate it is otherwise. He is using the Republican playbook of creating crisis to further their agenda, much like national Repubs have done with the debt ceiling, etc.
We are doing just fine here in the most beautiful big city in the world, Governor a-hole notwithstanding.

How were they able to âSlash the City Budgetâ and âRebuild the school districtâ and (crush) Unions?
Because tens of THOUSANDS of poor people had their homes and businesses and LIVES destroyed and the City, State, and Federal Government did NOTHING to help them rebuild so they were FORCED to leave the City forever.
VAST areas of New Orleans are now empty, rotting, completely destroyed ghost-towns reminiscent of the bombed out cities of Europe after WW2. The people who USED to live there are gone, driven out by the Rent-Seekers and the Carpet-Baggers who descended upon New Orleans in the aftermath of the storm and preyed upon them.
To celebrate this is the HEIGHT of HUBRIS and White Privilege: âWhy, my taxes are lower and there are no more POOR PEOPLE to bother me in the Entertainment District any more!â âHow Wonderful!!!â
sick.
Just. Plain. Sick.

And all the NYers can back on up, Chicago has the best damn pizza in the country. I know there are some better, Lou Malnatiâs, Burtâs, Pequodâs, etc., but Giordanoâs is still my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. All that melty, cheesy goodness with the Italian sausage, mushrooms, and sauce. Itâs heaven. I gain weight just thinking about it.

Damn straight. I still miss having some good Bacinoâs (used to like Girodanoâs too) stuffed pizza from my years in Chicago back in the day. No real good pizza places west of the Mississippi (and I say that as a proud foodie in Portland which kicks ass on the food front).
