At least the prostitutes provided some service in exchange for the money. At Home Depot you can get screwed and ignored while spending hundred of dollars.

Hey, slick get over to Dick Blick, quick.

See, Americans have so much junk we have to have special stores to sell us more junk so that we can put our existing junk inside of the new junk

There is also a "factory store" where you can sometimes get pretty good deals. also a company cafeteria where you can get your hotdogs at the mother house.

McDonald's is the place to rock

I really don't see why they would be called the best dorms... not that they are bad, just that there is nothing remarkable about them in any way- they are standard U.S. college dorms. Perfectly adequate, but they are made out of florescent lights and cinder blocks- they feel cold and impersonal. The common spaces use much glass- which, to me, is also cold and impersonal.

People call the tube the butt. I don't know why.

These buildings look like toasters.

The Coop closed in January 2008. This is now a Treasure Island.

this is a good place to swim at night, since north of the pier police can't see you from the path when you are in the water

You know. I Love Chicago because It's big!

Known to the east coast establishment as the best school west of the Appalachian mountains -- Chicago's oldest and most prestigious non-denominational JK-12 school.

John Peter Altgeld (December 30, 1847 - March 12, 1902) was the governor of the U.S. state of Illinois from 1893 until 1897. He was the first Democratic governor of that state since the 1850s. A leading figure of the Progressive Era movement, Altgeld improved workplace safety and child labor laws, pardoned three of the men convicted of the Haymarket Riot, and, for a time, resisted calls to break up the Pullman strike with force.

1920’s History – The Diversey Arms Hotel In 1925 jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke lived in this building known at the time as the Diversey Arms Hotel (historic name of the Lincoln Park Hotel, now Days Inn). He played with Charley Straight’s Orchestra at the Rendez-Vous Café located on the corner in the same building (at the time 622 Diversey -corner of Clark & Diversey). Another legend, Red Nichols, stayed with Bix for a while. During this time, Louis Armstrong recorded some of his early records in the back room that was lined with burlap bags - it was called the "Potato-sack studio." Mugsy Spainer got started here in the band that played after 2 a.m., and Glenn Miller played here with the Ben Pollack Orchestra in 1925. On January 28th 1927, comedian Joe E. Lewis opened at the Rendezvous Cafe here at 622 Diversey while bodyguards stood on the roof across the street to protect him. The place was sold out. Ted Healy, of "Three Stooges" fame and singer Sophie Tucker canceled other engagements to be in the show with him. Many people refer to the Lincoln Park hotel as the Rock & Roll Days Inn due to the many bands that have stayed here and subsequently become famous. Here are some of the performers who have stayed at the hotel in more recent times: Soul Asylum Scissor Sisters Brazilian Girls Siouxsie Sue John Lee Hooker Jr. Radiohead Alanis Morrissette Julian Lennon Sean Lennon Lowen & Navarro Twisted Sister Local H Aterciopelados Angie Stone Ruff Riders Dave Mathews Band Wilco Chris Whitley Raheem DaVaughn Mindy Smith Digital Underground Alejandro Escovedo HIM Poi Dog Pondering Ides of March Penny Royals Boredoms KMFDM Jimmy Dale Gilmore Ziggy Marley Paula Cole Sponge Richard Thompson Lance Miller Nelly Furtado Greg Allman Blue October Josh Ritter Band Sounds of Blackness Foo Fighters Goo Goo Dolls Cardigans Smashing Pumpkins Red Hot Chili Peppers Nirvana Sheryl Crow Clarence Gatemouth Brown 10,000 Maniacs Lemonheads Wolf Parade Dough Boys Spin Doctors Chris Barron Pete Yorn Robyn Hitchcock Led Zeppelin Females Octalux Amos Lee Black Keys Rachel Yamagata Anthony Gomes Bob Schneider Henry Rollins Gogol Bordello Band Dave Mason Band Trent Sumner & The New Row Mob Rise Against 50 - Kaitenz Larry McCray Band The Years Plaid The Decemberists Matt Mays Dragon Force Rooney KRS One BRMC Robert Randolph Band Ben Harper Luscious Jackson Yeah Yeah Yeahs Beck
