Oh, right. Well lessee, Giordanos Pizza, a Greek place I can't remember the name of, my friends live on the edge of GreekTown. Butterfly Thai (Crazy Spicy Noodles), Heaven on Seven (had the "Hot as a Mutha") and finally ended up at the Twisted Spoke.

Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup
Started looking at apartments today, its not horrible but its certainly possible to spend a huge amount. We'll plan on renting at least through the first year. Hard to tell if I'll be able to have a Benz there, probably won't have space to work on it myself and ideally my commute will cut down to walking. Also we have a note on the Ranger so I'm not sure we can sell it. -Curt Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:01:01 -0500 From: Peter Hertzing To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Chi-town followup Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Best of luck to you.

[MBZ] Chi-town followup
So last Thursday I went to Chi-Town. My friend there really played it up for me so it was difficult to force myself to remember to think about the place as if I'd be living there. Its a very clean city, or at least it was where we were in the west loop and down to Navy Pier. In Boston even a tourist area like Navy Pier would never been cleaned and I don't think there are any urban areas as clean as the west loop. I also made my friend go on the subway which she doesn't normally do but again I wanted to know what it'd be like. Much cleaner than the T in Boston. I'm pretty well sold, theres a ton at the place I work now that pisses me off. I'm sure thats true everywhere but I'd love to tell this place to screw itself. The big question will be if they come through with enough money to allow me to keep my un-sellable house and afford a decent apartment in Chicago. For the Chi-Town resident listers I didn't get to meet I'll catch you next time, this was a super quick trip. I didn't even take time off from work, rolled into Chicago, worked from my friend's apartment all day, interviewed Friday, did a little sight-seeing Saturday and home Saturday afternoon... -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
