Actually Chicago does have a history of people living downtown. It was just in the 19th Century, so even I don’t remember it.

And I like boxed wine, only from Target, not Wal-Mart.

I’m reminded of when people ask me, “But you live in Chicago, how could you not like snow?” By the way, I love LOOKing at snow. I’m not so big on TRAVELing in snow. But the point is, just because I’m accustomed to an inconvenience doesn’t mean I like it.

Everyone in any city complains about traffic. Do they stop traveling then or using city streets? People complain about the weather. Should they find a perfect bio-dome?

Charles, those crowds should never extend across the West Tower entrance. House of Blues security staff are supposed ensure that the line breaks across the entrance so that residents don’t have to wade through the concert line to access their homes.

Every time you see this, you should contact HOB general manager Michael Lucero at 312-923-2005. Mind you, you’ll get the voicemail of his executive assistant who won’t even repeat his name in the voicemail greeting. Wonder what Lucero is hiding for?
