When I lived in Chicago, I, like most Southsiders, was always annoyed
by the fact the Northsiders think Chicago doesn't has an East
Side:-). Seriously, the neighborhood bordering Commercial Avenue is
known as the East Side. And it's a good five or six miles east of
State Street, the dividing line between east and west. Did you know
that the streets in the East Side have letters instead of names?
Avenue A through L, I believe, all right up snug against the Lake and
the Indiana border.

It's currently 7F in Chicago right now, but as they say, it's cooler

Foster Beach; course everything is west of Lake Michigan :-)) If
you want to play a joke on someone new to Chicago, just tell them
you live on the East Side, Ha! I also used to tend bar in a
neighborhood place that didn't have a juke box & we used to send 1st
timers to the back room with a quarter to play music. Ha! The good
ole'days! Ha! Miss them! Anyway, down to -3F tonight they say, but
it's supposed to start warming up over the weekend & in the 30s next
week--yes, easy weather here in Chicago. I work with a colleague
who spent a lot of time in Minnesota & she thinks winters up there
were easier--less people, easier to drive around & find parking etc
etc. Someday I'll tell all you guys about parking in the snow in
Chicago. Cheers, Christine

Subject: Atctic invasion
Out local media is reminding me of Dave's recent post about the
Toronto "blizzard". We're expecting lows in the upper teens and
highs
in the mid to upper 30's and they call this an Arctic invasion. I
remember living in the Chicago and Indiana area when this would be
considered a heat wave.
