I think a lot of people in Oak Park would be happy if the Thrillist description of housing prices was anywhere close to being true.

The Alsip blurb made me laugh coffee out of my nose.

Not particularly accurate nor funny. Bizarre that the author claims it is some hotbed of Acura ownership, as a Acura driver myself I know all the dealerships and none are particularly close to the town. (And before the jerks pile on me for my choice in motor vehicle it is pretty well known that a Certified Pre-Owned Acura is a better value than the similarly equipped Honda, when said dealer for the for the former is walking distance from home while latter marque dealers are considerably further it becomes a no-brainer...).

Some clever quips, but author is clearly just trolling for page views. Desirable suburbs are well represented on the suck list.

Yeah, the point is everywhere sucks to a degree. I think it was funnier at the end.

Kennilworth was funny. And I actually do know someone who grew up there, and she is actually pretty normal.

Schaumburg... Have to agree with that one.

Mod cut.
