Parking at Willis tower

New to driving. Fine with driving, not that big of a deal. I suck at parking though, is there like extra room? I know it’s probably a solid no but areas next to there I can park easier? Also for cheaper 50 dollars to work every day? Tf?

CTA L Driver pulled up, didn't open the doors, laughed, and peeled out.

We were standing there on the platform like "wtf dude?"

Anyone know what happened on Stetson near the Aon Center? Looks like a road explosion, or filming a movie.

This is the most Chicago gasoline discount I’ve ever seen. (Fullerton and Western)

Same day chocolate delivery

Well I was signed up for an office secret Santa (I’m in three somehow) and totally spaced that the gift was due tomorrow. Is there anywhere that can deliver chocolate or some unique type of treat today/tomorrow morning? It’s a 25 dollar limit for the gift…but I’ll pay whatever for the delivery.

A Tip for Getting a Walnut Room Reservation

The Walnut Room is a family tradition for us. It was especially important to us this year as we have extended family visiting this week who really want to go. I've been trying to get a reservation since they opened up in September. Nothing has worked, even walking up and asking for tips from their staff.

Finally I just got a table for Thursday. The key is to create notifications via the Open Table app and wait. I did this months ago and got no response. However, this week notifications started to appear for this week's alerts. But they were always taken almost as soon as I clicked them - once within 3 minutes.

However, today the notifications were coming in rapidly. Each time I missed it so I decided to keep my phone unlocked and next to my keyboard, allowing me to monitor it while working and click as soon as one appeared. Sure enough, I received a notification, clicked it immediately, and secured the table.

So I think the secret is to set an Open Table alert and then be ready about 48 hours before your alert window opens and drop everything if the alert does come.

Interesting that Chicago proper is considered MCOL relative to the rest of the U.S.

Bagster

Does anyone have any experience with Bagster in lieu of a dumpster? I have a basement full of junk to remove. I know I can’t put it in the garage or alley, but what about the front yard?

Am I able to contest this late city sticker ticket?

I moved from out of state this fall and got the car gifted to me on October 28 so I can register it in Chicago, which I did in the last two weeks. To get a city sticker online it says you need the bill of sale. When I registered my car, the Secretary of State took my gift of affidavit and old title so I don’t have anything that falls within the bill of sale category. So I was waiting to receive my title so I can go get the city sticker. But that is not the case since I received a $200 late city sticker ticket yesterday. I know the 30 day grace period rule is 30 days which would fall on Thanksgiving but I thought I had more time as I just got my registration. I’m going to get a city sticker today so hopefully I can resolve this.

Is there anything special for Christmas at Navy Pier?

Is it worth going out there along with the other city sights?

Just want to rant about the rats

I’m getting so sick of having face offs with rats every time I go in my garage. Granted the concrete flooring has shifted over the last few decades so there are a couple openings in the front for them to enter and we do have many bins in the garage for storage which also doesn’t help but my god it’s never been this bad. Literally every time I walk inside my garage I either hear or see a rat moving around. I just filed a complaint with the city so they can bait the alley, anyone have any other tips? And is anyone else seeing an increase of rats and if so, which area? We’re in clearing.
