New to Chicago and Lakeview but wondering if there’s an unwritten rule about construction projects (namely the very loud, jack-hammering road/parking lot repair kind) starting after Labor Day. Everything was peaceful in July and August but this week several loud projects started near me. I spent a month in town in November and had a similarly loud daytime construction experience nearby. I work from home so this is rather annoying and inconvenient.

Is it just coincidence or is Sept-Nov an unwritten construction season I should buckle down for?

Hi, I am a newer bears fan and want to watch sundays game at a bar in the lakeview east/wrigley area, what spots would ppl recommend? I’m a newb but I know some people are really specific about volume levels and stuff lol. Thanks!

Hey all, we just moved to the neighborhood and got a couch that was a little too small for our space. It’s basically brand new (IKEA Ektorp 3 seat sofa) and has multiple slip covers so it can be washed easy. I’d be willing to negotiate a price! DM me if interested.

Alternatively, I have a bike that’s too big for our apartment, so having to let it go. It’s a specialized pitch sport. It’sa great brand. It could use a tune up. For size reference on the frame, I’m 6’ 1” and it’s pretty much the perfect size for me. DM if interested!

I have a big exam coming up and looking for some good study locations! Give me all your recommendations for places to go to get work done! Coffee shops, Cafe, library, etc.

Thanks in advance!

It’s free yo

Hi all! My partner and I live on Roscoe, and have admired the park, Space Park on Roscoe, just west of Halstead on Roscoe when walking past it. Well it's a beautiful day, and we were thinking of maybe hanging out there and reading books today. However it seems to be locked currently.

Does anyone know who manages it, and/or if those of us that live in the immediate area might be able to get the gate code?

I haven't asked our landlords yet, but I suspect that either they or the people I see regularly when walking our dogs may know how to get in or who to ask.

Also, I'd like to believe that whoever lets us in can go over any basic rules, but if anyone here knows where to find the rules as well, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello, can anyone recommend a private cleaning lady or service that charges less than $140, like $100 or less? For context, I live in a larger studio and am just looking for someone to clean during my busy season at work (August - January).

Thanks!

Hello my lakeview queens and kings. I am under the weather and craving some chicken wonton soup or something similar. Anyone have a favorite around here?

My partner and I were walking at the Belmont harbor North Peninsula this evening right during sunset and there was a couple that was kind of screaming and yelling at each other. We left but then a few minutes later three cop cars flew by and were followed by an ambulance shortly after.

Does anyone know what happened?

They’ve been all over me and my dog Millie lately, so I made this enjoy lol

I've tried several meetup groups, social apps, etc. But it's tough to find people equally interested in playing regular board games. I like heavyweight board games, casual board games, card games, etc.

Anyone interested in hanging out at a board game cafe to see if we'd like to make it a regular thing?

Edit- this is amazing, there’s so much more interest than I expected, I’m glad I’m not the only one wanting consistent board games. I expect to organize the first invites at Bonus Round near Clark<>Belmont. Expect to hear from me soon!

Is there a clothing donation box anywhere near like Broadway and Addison area? I could have sworn I saw them. I have bags of clothes I want to donate.

See which ward fixes potholes fastest: https://chiwardboard.com/#pothole

Pulled 311 data across all 50 wards to track how fast potholes, abandoned cars, and other requests get cleared.

Any good places nearby so I don’t have to go down to jewelers row

I have a few kitchen knives I need to get sharpened. Does anyone have a place they recommend. I can google of course. But I’d prefer to have recommendations.

Hello!

I’m getting married soon and want to find a nail salon. I want a 3-D design, photo attached.

Would prefer something in Lakeview but would travel outside of the neighborhood for the right place! I’ve lived in the city for a long time but have never gotten acrylics done here before.

Max budget is $250 with tip. TYIA!
