the thing about chgo- it isnt rly a big city, it’s a bunch of small towns, stitched together. even tho it’s been over 100 yrs, they still r what they r.
my hood is a college town, but also a hippie haven. just seedy enough to b cheap,
bars and cheap restaurants, and great public trans. evanston, next door, was dry for ages, and we were the 1st train stop for the sailors at great lakes, and kids from the posh burbs.
30% of the ppl here make their living as a creative of some kind.
it’s a truly weird and wonderful place.

btw, that state rep i mentioned was point on both marriage equality and legal weed. she’s a great friend.
