Who knows Chicago best here on City-data? (Lake Forest, Lincoln: transplants, homes)

Czechs? Oh, Bohemians.

I've read the central European influence on Mexican music came about in Diaz's day when there were many engineers and managers from Germany and the Hapsburg lands in the Mexican mines.

Although I live in Cambridge ( yeah, THAT Cambridge, and about 7 blocks down Broadway from Prof. Crank), I'd like to nominate a few people:

Drover
Avengerfire
Lookout Kid
Irish Tom
Sukwoo
Stevo-O ( but no weather advice, please!)

All are knowledgable, and willing to help strangers as long as the question has not already been answered a million times

I'm willing to help, but I'm even more willing to mock (those who are mock-worthy! Which happens to be a lot of people these days it seems.)

Thanks Again!

Josh: CD doesn't need more Commissars. People who come here looking for information shouldn't be limited in the feedback they receive. The most important thing is that truth and facts are given to the OP -- which helps minimize prejudicial viewpoints and mindless groupthink.

Some people come here in order to make significant decisions in their lives. They should hear from a wide variety of viewpoints based on facts and credible sources and links.

I'd say hsw. No one else comes close.

LMAO!!! The only places "hsw" will set foot in are east Lake Forest, east Winnetka, the Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park for good "grub" at Alinea. According to "hsw", these are the only relevant portions of our metropolitan area. And you are only "relevant" to him if you drive a $90,000+ climate-controlled Mercedes Benz S-Class (or sports coupe variant) and park in "civilized" underground garages underneath hedge fund HQ's such as Citadel. Yup, he sure is the best tour guide! NOT!

You really need a more clever name if you are going to keep coming back after getting banned.

Half his schtik is "you can't make me go away so easily" and wanting people to know it.

I don't get it. His determination to post on a message board that doesn't want him is baffling. It's teenager behavior.

From what I've seen on the different forums, hsw does the best inter-city comparisons. No one else has the dataset.
