bouncyboy Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Don't get me wrong birdj, living in the city did have its perks, but I found more negative then positive. I mean everything is way more expensive, the main thing I did like though was the public transportation, there isn't much of that in the burbs. I didn't even live all the way downtown and it was just too congested for my likings. I missed not having a yard, and I missed blairing my music at 4am without a single complaint, or hearing people walking around above me... ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmitch1114 Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 No doubt a house setup is nice. I had that when I lived in the Boston area and it was great. Maybe I'll just by my own high rise in the city and that will solve everything. ------------------"What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning.

back2basics- Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Yeh i have got used to the noise, at first it was bad and beleive it or not 26 floors up the noise is louder than my old 4th floor apartment, for some bizare reason!The main thing for me is i don't have a car and i don't want one. Being able to stagger home or not pay a $25 taxi fare is great for me.And the there is the Ladies, sitting out down Rush street on a nice day.. my god! Not that Rush street is my thing, TOO pretentious, too many mafia types in Armani suits, too much silicon (or whatever they put in now). But it is expensive to drink, but if you know the right places you get loads of comps. Should get a comp every 4 drinks.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These bars are both, no scene, no attitude.

Back in the burbs it wolud take 2 months to see as many hotties as you see in 1 nice day in Chicago. They're all over the place.Bouncy..I hear ya. At least you gave it a shot. I would go for a garden, but a whole yard?? I grew up on 2 acres and had to mow it 2 many times. I am so glad I don't have to do that anymore. Then again my mom has a pool, so after getting all hot n sweaty mowing the damn lawn, I could just dive in the pool. As far as the expences go, The only time I realize how damn expensive it is, is when I go out to the burbs. Thats when I stock the car full and fill it up.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that $5 pitchers of Stella Atrois (or whatever it is called, great beer though)------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncyboy Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 B2B my favorite bar to sit and drink at was pretty close to where you live, but they had a fire about a year and a half ago. It was the GA Bar, (German American Bar) I miss that place...------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
