Mellowwwwwww

He's asking about Chicago, are Alaskans supposed to answer questions on this thread?

Well, so he screwed up a bit on the first post.
I could help him, got 3 decades of Chicagoland experience.
My son- living in the suburbs commuted by Metra to U of I downtown Chicago campus for 4 years and found it an excellent solution rather than revving up the 18wheeler sized turbo on his Mercur car daily...
Diverse neighborhoods along the blue line extend these days all the way up to Irving Park or even farther. Just depends on the rent you want to pay. Get a map of Chicago and hit Craigslist or some Chicago paper websites.

Yeah, but replays to a year or two old threads by people surfing the Alaska C-D are scolded just the same way. It's so old, why do you bother.
I betcha in a while those guys will be as proficient at this as most anyone. And its Christmas time!
Plus a friendly mod can transfer the topic...

My post was primarily directed at stiff, except for the phrase about a little joking around. Guess it's time to put him on another time out because mean spirited crap towards anyone new here is about all he ever posts anymore.

I'm sure it wasn't purposely posted in the wrong state forum. No big deal, nothing wrong with answering it and even making a joke or two about it but the crap is getting old.

Yeah, they can't win. If someone replies to an old thread they're jumped on for doing so but by the same token if they start a new thread asking a question that anyone else has asked in the past five years they're jumped on for not doing a "search".

I know that it seems silly to respond to old threads, to those of you who have been on this forum for a long time. Sometimes folks don't pay attention to thread dates when they're just surfing around the site quickly trying to get as much information as they can find on a particular topic.

Much of what you guys have written on here doesn't go out of date. If someone had a question two years ago, someone else surfing this site has the same questions. And as you all know, one question leads to another question and then another.

For the oldies on here, the newbies on here are trying to soak up everything they can find. And there's a lot of info to soak up. I agree to please cut them some slack.

Good luck to the Chicago kid BTW.

There is no reason for anyone to be as rude as they are a lot of times on this forum, I've experienced it and I totally agree with you Met. You tell it like it is and I like that, I think you and I would be great friends,we think alike!

I would have to say that we "all" have been rude at one time or another on this forum as they are on all forums. New Kid found his way to the Chicago forum so he'll get the info he needs.

I agree that I've been rude to one particular poster on here but his post aren't innocent mistakes, he likes to get everyone upset so he can get attention, it may be negative attention but it's still attention we give him. I am no longer going to respond to that particular persons post, if I have nothing nice to say I'll say nothing at all.
