been in chicago the past few days, enjoying it a lot. had a day with amazing weather. met up with lucy and her friends to celebrate her “unemployment” day. they were fun to chat with throughout the night. wicker park was pretty dope, although I do see a lot of locals complaining about its gentrification and sterile-ness at times. thinking of where i should live in chicago… though, the city itself has taken me again. it’s cleaner & more affordable than NYC. it’s cleaner & more affordable & livelier than SF. those are just my two cents and my own lived experiences and opinions. biking by the lakefront, though, just up gold coast, was just wonderful.
