I guess, but I cant control the weather and the last couple fridays I could have gone it was raining and or had a good chance of rain. Hard to load up and drive 240 miles one way with a 60% chance of rain

Yes, that was right off 47th st and 1st ave. I miss Chicago in some ways but its really nice down here - two different worlds really. The elevation and lack of quality dragstrips here kinda sucks but thats why I keep the car streetable. I can take the car out and drive through some really nice scenery and not see another car for an hour.

Depending on the neighborhood of course, like everywhere else things have got expensive here too. But this house would easily cost double in any decent Chicago suburb plus the property tax is probably 5X higher there..

Haider, I live in Lincoln Square now, over by Montrose/ Lincoln/ Western. I like having a 20-30 minute commute.
