Loud car noises on Clyborn last night?

I live on clyborn/ wrightwood and woke up last night to music, revving of engines, and tires squealing. That was around 1:30am. Does anyone know what the heck was going on?

Laundry

Hey looking for recommendations for laundry services in the area. Ideally a drop and fold service, or even just a laundromat that I can safely leave my clothes and go for a walk. Thanks!

WHITE DODGE CHARGER

Edit: DODGE CHALLENGER not a charger. Does anyone else get woken up in the middle of the night by a white dodge challenger with a modded engine & tinted windows? This dude is driving me bonkers. They will rev the engine window-shakingly loud on the streets surrounding Johnny’s & Halligan’s at 2-3 am even on a dang Monday night. Just like, parked. Then zoom away and give me a heart attack. It seems like they may be rotating streets or something if people are calling the cops. This has been happening for months. Please tell me I’m not alone in my suffering!! Can we stop this guy somehow?

parking in Lincoln park

I’m considering moving to Lincoln park, but the building I’m looking at doesn’t have parking. The building is on W Wrightwood and Clark. I’m a teacher so I’ll be using my car everyday and just want an idea of how hard it is to get a good street spot there because it looks pretty congested and construction is going on. Thanks!

Looking for a reputable (licensed) electrician

As the title says - looking for a local sparky to do some work bringing 220v to my condo.

This is not "handyman" level work, so looking for someone licensed who goes beyond changing an outlet / installing light fixtures.

Any suggestions or good past experience? Thanks!

Streetwise guy on the corner of armitage and Sheffield

So there is a guy selling streetwise magazine on the corner of armitage and Sheffield. He’s there almost every evening.

Every time I pass him, I’ve been polite and said “no thank you, have a good day” and was even thinking about just buying one to help him out one day.

Well, lately he’s been pretty aggressive towards me and my wife. Getting up in our faces and insinuating we’re racist and even leaning down to our 10 month old baby and saying, “I hope you don’t grow up to be like them.”

It’s to the point where I loathe walking by that corner.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with him or is he targeting us because we see him so often?

Places to meet people

Just moved to Lincoln Park! For some reason this neighborhood feels a lot more insular to me and I’d like to make friends that live close by here. What are some activities/spots/or tips for meeting new people around here?

Best Spots for Darts

I’m new in town, and my boyfriend will be visiting soon. He’s recently become obsessed with darts. He bought a decent board, watches pros, and practices all the time. Any recommendations for a bar or otherwise in Lincoln Park, Old Town, Lake View, or Wrigleyville that I could take him to so I can ooh and ah over his skills?

Thinking of moving to LP (24M)

Moving to Chicago and have decided on a place in the Lincoln Park are. Deciding between two places, one closer to the south border of LP (near the Old Town/LP border) and one north near Fullerton. I'm 24 and liking for an area with a lot of other people my age. Walked around both and liked it. What are the pros and cons of living on the south part of LP vs the north?

Looking for friends

How to find house parties?

I just moved to the city and my social life has not improved and is basically non existent atm

I know no one and have no friends

I signed up for sports leagues which start next month

I want to do social stuff every day, I have meet up and eventbright apps

But most if not all I just forget to go to those

How do I find house parties to go to?

I can even host but don’t have ppl to invite over

What else can I do to make as many friends as possible

Or like social bars to go to every day

I want to have a good social group of friends that I can chill and hang with

Has anyone else experienced way more gnats/fruit flies in their apartment/homes?

There's been a recent boom of these gnats in my unit all by my window, and no matter how many I kill, there's always more. I've left out ACV traps, but they haven't really worked. I've sealed my windows (which are bad to begin with) with tape, but they still are getting in. I noticed in my stairwell that there are some on those windows on each floor too. Think I should reach out to the landlord about this?

Visit Second City without tickets?

Its been awhile since Ive been and dont remember how it works. I've got a family member in town for just a few daytime hours, no time for a show proper. I'd like to show her the inside of Second City. Is there a way to just walk around the inside/lobby? Like a little sneak peak?

Cool places to take photos (not north ave beach or the zoo 😂)

Up and coming photographer and I wanted to know any gorgeous spots you love in LP but it’s not what you think! I’m looking for a random street you love, wall, mural, etc. I know north Ave, the zoo, parks, etc. I’m looking for niche areas/walls/backdrops that you’ve seen out and about! Thanks in advance!

Has anyone seen the creepy note posted all up and down diversey and other streets?

I was walking near Diversey and Sheffield and noticed that on multiple light poles, electric boxes, mail boxes etc there is a piece of paper someone taped up. Some locations it looks like it was intentionally ripped down and off but you could tell it was the same message (only the middle was ripped).

The note reads: "Hello a white boy named (name) raped my 14 year old little girl when I had him babysit my daughter. He lives at (address) at a house. He's on the very top floor. Call the police I want him arrested."

Does anyone know any more on this story? I'm so curious. I redacted the name and address in case these are untrue accusations. But if you want them you can probably walk anywhere in that general area the note is posted all over.
