I know this is odd, but does anyone here know someone selling their house in Logan near Hopewell? Checking out the listing and I saw not only a rather extensive bourbon (mostly Willett) collection, but also a beer stash stored horizontally on wine racks. Just curious as this entire house buying adventure has been a nightmare of multiple, way over list offers and Trixies and Chads starting to dominate the west side...

You can see everything I described much better in the 3D tour, but here you go. This is one of three possible contenders for this week's game of "Let's Make An Offer", so more disappointment to come...

You know you could save a lot of money moving up here in Jeff Park/Old Irving/Portage. Come change the neighborhood with me! If you hate it you can sell in a year and make money on it

Funny enough, that's the first thing that stood out to me too. Looks like they have all manners of stupid hobbies.

Also, they have workout equipment so obviously no one here.

I guarantee you a substantial number of people here OWN workout equipment.

Portage won't work for the wife's commute, we are looking in Old Irving as well, mostly in the pocket near Disney II Magnet School (in between Irving/Pulaski/Milwaukee/Addison). Just such a shortage that something new hits the market the hordes come out in droves to hand over large sacks of money...

I go to the gym seven days a week religiously...

Funny, I go once or twice a year ... religiously*

*this attendance pattern fits my religious upbringing anyway

 

[Dunt1]

I go to the gym seven days a week religiously...

Why?

 

[Tooch4321]

Why?

Maybe a better question is why did I also quit drinking alcohol almost 3 months ago?

That very industrial sized xylophone in the room across from the very sterile nursery. There's going to be a lot of missed calls on moving day.

True. Where else are we going to hang those clothes that have been worn, but haven't quite been worn enough to require washing just yet?

Also, Jesus Christ, you can get a nice-ass SFH with yard and garage in Logan Square for less than the cost of a 2 bed/2 bath in my neighborhood (Lakeview East)? I done ****** up.

1 block to Crown Liquors, 2 blocks to Hopewell & blue line entrance, 4 blocks to Lula & Billy Sunday...sweet location.

Currently have a condo on Armitage directly across the street from Dante's Pizza, kiddy corner from Parson's and Scofflaw, Giant, Moonlighter and Best Intentions to the west of me. Also 2 indoor garage spaces, rooftop deck and all that jazz, we are just done with condo living...

You have the address, so there are pretty easy ways to find the owner based on the cook county tax and recorder portals. It's pretty creepy the amount of information you can get if you're looking in the right places. When I was fighting Cook County on my property valuations last year, I had to do a lot of research on the comparables I was using.

I'm on a bike for many miles 4-5 days a week. Century training plans always include rest days.

ETA: Also, easy access to good cycling roads is pretty much the only perk of living in the far NW burbs.

Hey there middlebrow

Any of this going to hit near the UK Village?

 

[middlebrow]

Hey there middlebrow

Sorta adorable how three ****s reviewed that label and no one noticed we didn’t call it a witbier on the front. O well. A mildly aged gin wit is the **** and we’re gonna do a ton of em.

TheJB - it’s at the normal haunts and foxtrot markets.

Interesting conversation about distribution and franchise laws on my FB page right now for anyone curious.

dvelcich does most of his posting in the Burg Thread, but I wanted to drop a reminder here to keep this day open.

I'll have to go check out the one spot I know for sure gets your deliveries this weekend, I am a sucker for gin BA beers.
