...along with the absence of a Portuguese presence (no, Brasileiros don't count), absence of Wells Fargo, absence of 18-21 friendly nightclubs just SPEAK to its vaunted genericity.

I eagerly await the jeers of the Olympic troupes in seven years' time. XD

So I assume you're an 18-21 year-old Portuguese guy who likes clubbing and street food? Get a fake ID, meet people outside your culture, and learn to find the good late night taquerias. And quit yer bitchin'. This is Chicago.

huh?? There are underage nightclubs around the city, and I really don't understand the no Portuguese or Wells Fargo comments......don't most cities in the entire world fit that statement?



Although I do somewhat see what you're saying. I was highly offended when I was in Lisbon last year and noticed an almost complete lack of Swedish presence, as well as not having Washington Mutual banks or Potbellys.

I live in Pilsen, there's god knows how much freaking snow on the ground, it's cold as hell outside, and yet, I STILL see street vendors selling goodies outside! and during the summer when I moved here, I couldn't walk 2 blocks w/o a street vendor offering me something!

no, there aren't many Portuguese immigrants here, yet how is that the fault of the city? there aren't many Haitians here either, but I'm not pissed of at Chicago b/c of it!

as for under 21 clubs, well, they exist, you just have to look for them.

don't know why I'm wasting my time responding to a troll, but I'm rather bored

You mean Portugese like 1492 downtown? That place is pretty good, one of many portugese places here. You probably didn't know that though...
