That's persuasive.

[....,,.,]

That's persuasive.

Haha, I sense sarcasm.

Hyde Park doesn't frighten me at all. I feel perfectly safe here. And its quaintness has grown on me quickly. I'm already considering staying put for 2L. Then again, I live on the northern-most part of Hyde Park.

[Bathing Jesus]

Personally, I don't think "quaint" really cuts it for me when you're in one of the most metropolitan cities in the US, man.  There's so much to do and see in Chicago and 99.9% of it is NOT in Hyde Park.  I mean, next weekend I'm going to 3 concerts (one a two-day free festival) in 4 days from great bands, and I'm not even going to have to walk more than 15 minutes from my apartment for any of it.  That type of thing just doesn't happen in HP.

[JusAbstinendi]

Different strokes for different folks, no doubt.

What was up with that weird e-mail combo from Chicago yesterday? What did the "recalled" e-mail mean? I assume it meant she wanted the redundant second copy of her original e-mail withdrawn, but it was pretty confusing...

[seatochitown]

Yeah, she meant to recall the duplicate copy only. I hate it when people use that function as though it actually swooped into your email and deleted the email it was intended for.

Is Garfield the sole CTA stop in Hyde Park?     Aw, man. 

[buffettologie]

Is Garfield the sole CTA stop in Hyde Park?     Aw, man. 

I wouldn't really call that "in HP"

There's also a green line stop on 63rd I think, but again I wouldn't recommend it. Most people either take the 6 or the 2 bus downtown or alternatively, take the Metra downtown and then transfer to CTA.

[JusAbstinendi]

Yeah, I take the Metra and transfer to the CTA. It's not bad.
