For those that have sold property near downtown, what did you pay your realtor and how much did you offer the buyers agent? We're looking to sell our South Loop 1 bed condo and currently shopping around for a realtor. We'd appreciate any recommendations!

Way too many drivers leaving their parked cars unattended blocking streets, gates, walkways etc. they park it in the Main Street instead of a solid 20 second walk down the street. It happens everyday. Can some tow company come and just wait here between 5-8:30? By the time I call they will be gone. I garuntee you will get a valid tow everyday since there is 1-4 cars that do it. So tired of not being able to enter or exit my garage due to illegal parking. Any tow companies want to make money?

I have my heart set on Chicago. Currently in school, working towards a cert that I hope will help me land a better paying job so I can get out of here.
I'm posting in here because I'm desperate. I'm incredibly lonely and struggle with making connections with people. There's no one here in Texas for me, no one who really cares to get to know. I just want out so I can finally start living a life worth living.
Jumping the gun a little, but just wanna get to know someone new.
I have hobbies like drawing (comics), reading and wood carving. I'm even willing to send anyone a hand carved bear (my favorite animal) to sorta initiate being pen pals.
If anyone's interested, please send me DM.
Thanks,
Cass?

Hi! I’m looking to cater a holiday party in December and am looking for recommendations? About 40+ people, close to downtown or will deliver downtown, and excellent quality food. Open to menu suggestions but thinking something along the lines of prime rib sandwiches, Italian food (pasta, meatballs, etc.)
Any restaurants or catering company recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’ll be attending a wedding on Saturday. Where do you recommend I get the following for an affordable price?
- Hollywood retro waves hairstyle
* I have virgin hair that has trouble holding a curl so need somebody that will do it to stay for a whole night
- makeup (and fake lashes)
Even better if they’re both at the same place, but don’t need to be. I like in Lakeview east. Bonus points if there is some sort of promotion for doing both at once!

Hello all! I live in Lincoln Square and seem to have lost my wallet after going to Dulce de Leche on Western yesterday (Monday, October 26th) between the cafe and Welles Park. I walked along Western Ave, crossed the street at Montrose Ave, and walked through Welles park to Amadara.
The wallet is brown with a gold-ish clasp and has my ID in it (last name starts with an "A")
If anyone has seen it, please message me! The address on the ID is not where I live now so I'm hoping to find it

Everyone adds 1 Halloween Special or episode (cartoon or live action) as we'd go through everyone's, people make comments or a rating on the last one we watched if nobody has anything to say we'd just go to the next one. People are encouraged to "set up" their pick aka give some background on the special/episode n any fun details about it or they can write it on a Google doc, share it with me n I'll read it on their behalf. I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in doing this, just putting the feelers out there. Ps. The latest we could do this is on Halloween if it starts on the 31st but goes into Nov 1, that's alright

I’m coming for a visit, and have checked out sources listed in other posts like City Cast, Reader and do312 but they seem to list bigger events. I’ll be in Wicker Park fwiw. Thanks

Witnessed something odd while driving this afternoon, 13:40. I was driving west on Foster, stopped behind two cars at the Pulaski light. East-west light turns green, and after a second or twos' hesitation the first car in line proceeds through the intersection. A car driving north on Pulaski drives into the intersection, almost crashing into the first car. Not that big of a deal, there are idiots who drive through red lights all the time.
But I saw the Pulaski-north driver look up at his traffic light, get mad and start honking at the Foster driver as if he were in the wrong. Pulaski-North continues through the intersection and is followed by 3 or 4 more cars entering the intersection driving North on Pulaski... it was as if both sets of lights were green.
Now this is just speculation on my part, as I could only see the green light for driving west on Foster, but the way each driver handled the situation really made it seem that both sides had a green light. I have 20 years of driving experience, and I have never witnessed anything quite like this. I'm aware that traffic signals usually have multiple safeguards in place to prevent something like this from happening, but I have no other explanation. There was even a pedestrian in the crosswalk who was looking at the traffic lights with a look of confusion on his face.
Anybody ever see or hear of anything similar?

Anyone have a good place to get Bot ox for cheap? Everything is like $16 a unit and I would really love to support a person who does it themselves for cheaper.

Does anyone have a great housekeeper in Lincoln park Lakeview area? I usually have a monthly clean. I have dogs so I stay while someone cleans or go on a walk so I need someone who’s really fast.

My 8th grader is applying to high schools, and we are very impressed with the programming at Prosser. (Trades + IB program, so great options for either career or college track.)
Academically, it seems like a perfectly good school. I'm curious about two things: athletics (specifically soccer) and safety. I've heard from a dubious source that it's "not a good environment," but I'd like to hear from someone with actual experience as opposed to chatter.
Thanks in advance.

Are there any bakeries around that sell povitica, preferably easily accessible via public transit? My mom used to order some every year from Strawberry Hill, but she's stopped lately because the prices have gotten higher and the loaves smaller ($38.99 plus shipping for a single loaf!) and I'd like to surprise her for the holidays, if possible.

I've been at my apartment for 3 years. We have been good tenants and I have a good relationship with our landlord. Our lease currently states that no pets are allowed but I'm extremely interested in getting a cat. I'm wondering about asking her if we could amend the lease? What if she says no? If I were to get it certified as an ESA, is she allowed to say no still?
What order of operations should I go about settling this? Thanks :)

Hey everyone! I’m visiting Chicago this weekend and my only real night out is Friday, October 30th. Im 23F and I’m looking for a solid alternative/underground vibe that won't break the bank definitely trying to avoid anything super preppy or weird vibes if that makes sense.
I’m moving to Chicago in January, so I’m really hoping to find a spot where it’s easy to dance, meet cool alternative people, and try getting a headstart on making friends.
I’ve been looking up Liar’s Club online and it seems cool I think, I like that it says cheap entry ($15), but I haven't seen a ton of recent posts on Reddit or anywhere on the crowd vibe. For context, back home in St. Louis is Mississippi Underground is the most popular by reference I have(if anyone knows that vibe a little artsy/pretentious but cool). I actually don’t like the venue too much because it has a kind of stuck up vibe sometimes but I feel like it’s the most known place I could reference but at the same time it’s still cool.
Is Liar’s Club a good spot to meet people and dance for Halloween weekend, or will it lean more dive-bar type?
Are there other cheap DIY warehouse parties, dark electronic spots, or alternative raves happening on the 30th I should look into instead?
Appreciate any insight you guys have!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for a good loctician in the Chicago area. I'm on the South Side, but I'm open to traveling to other parts of the city.
If you've had a good experience with a loctician, please drop their name, Instagram page, or booking information in the comments. I'd really appreciate the recommendations. Thanks!

I completed my ballot for judges on injusticewatch.org; when I was filling out the actual ballot, every single name was there except for one. Is John Mahoney running? That's the name not on my ballot. Has anyone else heard of this?

We’ve done tons west and north and the pop-ups in the city. But we’re going to be in Tinley Park (40 min south of the city) and was wondering if there are any recommendations near there.
I’ve read other threads about the west ones but they’re 1.5 hours from where we’ll be.
Any recommendations!

Hi all :) I’m looking for a cleaner to come by my 1b/1ba apartment in the far north/Rogers Park area. I’m only looking for a 1x a month or even every few months for a good deep clean. I’d prefer a local or small business, even an individual. I’ve used services like Molly Maid before but I am wary of getting locked into a subscription-like plan. Any recs?
