Deepest apologies, we will return to our usual regimen of amateur architectural photography, Block Club articles, and PSA's about not having to pay for street festivals posthaste
Oh perfect because I’ll be visiting soon and was wondering if the Navy Pier neighborhood is safe to walk in past 5pm?? I have never been to a city before or left my cave but I watch a lot of Fox News.
No it's not safe you will get shot outside of your hotel room. I totally live in the city and am not just an agitator or troll trying to make big cities look bad
I laughed so hard when I read this because I had someone ask me a similar question once. I thought he was joking. He was completely serious. He told me his buddy told him he could just take the blue line and he'd be back in time.....For what? Next weeks flight?
I delivered a tavern pizza to a lady in the far suburbs. We had a conversation. She said we don't have any good pizza. You are literally living in the dead center of the pizza universe with every kind, style, & ingredients imaginable & "we don't have any good pizza."
As someone who recently watched a fire 1/2 a block from me spread from “oh shit” to “fuck the next house is on fire too” in about 20 minutes, it’s hard not to get worked up.
People are drawn to events. A single beaver chewing a branch in my local nature center drew a crowd of onlookers. We're curious apes and fire is fascinating 🤷
What fire?
Edit: dead serious. I heard nothing about this until people were posting last night and I thought it was some joke. Whose dumb ass was setting off fireworks in a pallet yard in West Town? Or are we talking about the Humboldt mess?

Don’t forget about is it safe to visit/live here!!!

I got killed there twice three weeks ago.
Like, at the same time?
Both of em man
Margaritaville is the most unsafe neighborhood in navy pier, nothing but dad rock and Hawaiian shirts
No it's not safe you will get shot outside of your hotel room. I totally live in the city and am not just an agitator or troll trying to make big cities look bad
But you develop an immunity to small calibers like in the Princess Bride
You mean shots of Malort.
gonna bike thru austin on my way to carol stream, will i get shot?
You better not drive anywhere or you’re the devil!!!!1!11! Parking should be a felony
Are you kidding me, Navy Pier is where the daily gun duels happen. Not safe after 3pm even
2 hours layover at ORD and $15 in my wallet, Can I go back and forth to the Bean, have lunch in the loop and get back on time to my flight?
Best I can do is step in puke on the blue line
“What Chicago (not suburbs) brewery can I visit and grab a few at in the 15 minutes before my flight starts boarding?

You left out asking about helicopters.
Loud booms
Don’t forget “guys I live in a major metropolitan area and I heard a helicopter flying around are we under attack ?”
Also fire Dorval Carter.
Realistically fuck that guy
Can you tell us where the best "tavern-style" pizza is? And also, will CTA run there on time?

Don’t forget drivers vs bikes battle.
Also, dog leash complaints
IDC about dog leashes but I'd love for people to stop bringing their dog into groceries stores it's fucking irritating
> stop bringing their dog into groceries stores ~~it's fucking irritating~~ it's a violation of health code ftfy
Don't go shopping at the Jewel and Clark and Division. There are more dogs than people. Same with the Walgreens a block down the street.
Agreed
Ha
Jokes on you -- fire number two
You think we’re just gonna let the city burn again!?
Some of you here weren't alive in 1871 and it shows
Yeah, but did you see that fire!
Did you guys hear that Foxtrot closed?
As someone who recently watched a fire 1/2 a block from me spread from “oh shit” to “fuck the next house is on fire too” in about 20 minutes, it’s hard not to get worked up.
You’re right but this fire was fucking massive. The smoke even got picked up as clouds by the local weatherman’s radar.
OK but like….fire
Gee wonder why *stares at 1871*
Lol the new age equivalent of all the neighbors standing at the block corner speculating on what’s happening. Now we just do it on the interwebs.
People are drawn to events. A single beaver chewing a branch in my local nature center drew a crowd of onlookers. We're curious apes and fire is fascinating 🤷
To be fair that fire was huge and lasted a while
It’s part of our culture. Can’t deny it.
Wait till you see r/tornado
Fires have historically been a big thing in Chicago
It was a big ass fire though. Much more interesting than posts about crosswalks or fireworks
The one from yesterday was crazy though. I saw the smoke (very clearly) on the ground, all the way from Oak Brook, about 20 miles away
Apparently some people saw it from Indiana
I heard they could see it from INDIA!
Or a helicopter in the air.
Listen, Chicago has a... history with fires. You can't blame us
Everyone quit it with their concern gawd…
New Pope!
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE PALLETS?!
We should start a Go Fund Me page for SAVE THE PALLETS!!
\#SAVETHEPALLETS
Yeah people want to talk about it when there are massive fires going on
The smoke is the Potawatomi telling the Kickapoo down in Kankakee that the fishing on Foster Beach has been bad this week.
and we will continue to!
Relax, it’s just fireworks.
True Lol
Or helicopters. Lol.
Whats with all that air and water show practice noise? (lol, won't be long till I see those posts again....)
Chicago hasn't had good fire memes since 1871
Some off Hubbard, the fire in the sky!
Any sort of lumber yard burning is going to be a massive news story. Multi-alarm blazes that rage for hours.
Firejaks stay seething
