Should have hung out in Logan Square if you wanted diversity and normal prices. Or Ukrainian Village, Noble Square, Humboldt Park (in the day), Rosco Village (Boys Town). Hanging out downtown and bitching about traffic and prices is poo poo that even foreign tourists don't do. Glad you came to my city though! I could have recommended a ton of fun cheap things for you and your family had I known. edit

Some of the most viewed Worldstar McDs fights occurred in Chicago - OP was probably just looking to up his subscriber level. You need variety - hot sauce challenges and fat wife cleavage unboxing vids only draw so many views

Can you confirm that the "Chicago accent" is real and sounds like someone from the Northern Wisconsin backwoods that is talking while desperately trying to hold in an epic diarrhea power geyser?

If you're talking about the old "Superfans" accent it only exists on the far south side. And even then only on men over 50 years old.

We went to McDonalds because we missed breakfast at the hotel and every other place wanted at least $12 for ONE of us. gently caress that. If you can't reliably get a cheap breakfast at McDonalds in the 3rd largest city in the US, YOU LOSE POINTS. I came to try the "World Famous Chicago Dog". Unimpressive. I hate yankees posted:on a scale of 1 to Lena Dunham, how fat is your wife? I'm thinking sleep apnea obese because you dropped her off at McDonald's at 11 am My wife is a bit bigger but I don't think anyone would call her fat. She's pregnant though, so that MAY have something to do with it. ALso don't bring my second wife into this.

I will admit, that was a fair review of Chicago from an Iowa perspective. When I last visited Iowa (many parts, actually), I have a very brief review from a Chicago perspective: The country roads and people were very nice and open but the entire state reeked of pig poo poo.

I'm a little confused as to the complaint about our public transit. Its one of the best in the world. There's not too many places you can't get to by bus or train. I think you're just reviewing the city as if it was a tiny town and it doesn't work that way. That's like trying to review New York City by comparing it's traffic to Phoenix, Arizona.

I just got back from Montreal and it was a lot of fun. My girlfriend and I went for a walk through the Gay Village at 3 AM and went to McDonald's and got hamburgers then we went back to the hotel room and fried them in a pan and watched Natural Born Killers rather than sleeping.

Never been to Japan, but I'd say we're just as good as Germany, or at least Berlin, and I've been to Seattle tons of times and the bus system is OK, at best. We have buses on every major street in both directions, usually only a few minutes apart and the brown, red, blue, and orange line trains that will literally take you anywhere of note in the city. But it is what it is! Don't know why you didn't leave your car at the hotel the whole time and cab/bus around, but at least we're third behind Minneapolis.

We priced it a cab would have cost in the hundreds. The bus would have take us 3 hours just to get to the stuff we wanted. Was just inefficient for what we were looking for.

Also we bought bubble tea from Chinatown and shot the bubbles at people in tour buses, spied on a Cirque Du Soleil performer browsing porn in his trailer, and hung out with some people having a party on a very old wooden boat that they wandered onto. Most of the money I spent on the trip was for festival tickets that we ended up not going to anyway because we were having too much fun. Aside from that I spent less than $100 CAD and that's including the hotel and my one souvenir which was a tiny $7 skull filled with vodka that I bought in the duty-free shop at the border on the way back. A++ would visit again Vive Le Québec. Gamer With Dignity fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 24, 2016 |
