  1. I think you are being a bit unrealistic in terms of what type of people can make a good amount of money. There are a lot of 26 year old single people willing to throw in a lot of money on rent to be right in the middle of where they like to drink the most. I wasn't talking about renters; I was talking about people buying to live there. Of course they'd find a herd of choades willing to rent in pack-squalor.
  2. That sounds nightmarish. I can't imagine that too many people who can actually afford to live in a building like that in that location would be down with the frat party atmosphere and the skyrocketing crime rate. Really? People loved living there in the late 90's early 00's before it went full on corporate bar atmosphere. The fact that the people who make the "frat party atmosphere" out there in the first place even exist should disprove any notion that that type of person does not exist. There are plenty of people who don't mind the hubbub outside their house, and can afford to live there. The area is infinitely worse even than it was just a decade ago. Both Wrigleyville and Boystown are imploding under this active "come here and party and who gives a [expletive] what happens, it's not your neighborhood" attitude the city and local business/government have been fostering and are desperate to maintain. Couple that with the crime spiraling out of control and the slashes police presence/spending in the area. I'll put it this way: if someone could afford to live in one of those buildings and DIDN'T inexplicably adore the almost 24/7 mess the place is now then they're an idiot and I am stunned they ever made that much money to begin with.
  3. I noticed it happening to the Blackhawks and I laughed and laaaaaughed and laaaaaaaaughed.

  5. Fortunately because Darwin is so tiny there's room to launch both out of the cannon at the same time, so Ricketts can keep his cannon costs down.
  6. I made some sick guac today, but now I'm sick and it feels like maybe I have MERS so kind of a wash.
  7. It's the Blackhawks' fault. As soon as they are eliminated they'll stop Dorian Gray-ing his power.
  8. BATHE HIM AND BRING HIM TO ME.

  10. What the [expletive] was that horrible music going into the break.
  11. There is just no way this happens with Jeter if he played for any other team in his career. Well, yeah, that's just a given.
  12. It's all an elaborate plan to get Jeter up there one more time.
  13. This is problematic. Jeff might murder someone today if this implodes.
  14. And yes, I know Chipper has some incredible comps and numbers; he's still doofy Chipper Jones.
  15. Castro, I love you. These farewell tours are just weird, mainly because so far they've happened for varying degrees of really, really good players when it seems like the kind of thing you'd pull out for some kind of legendary, amazing, "holy [expletive], I can't believe I got to see HIM play"-type of player, which is to say it's the kind of thing that should happen for like 1 guy every 20-30 years.
