Well, true enough, Paul, but we were omitting facts to play the East Side
joke. I understand the State street thing clear enough, but in my "big
limited view" :-) the East side is the Lake Michigan Water Park :-).
Cheers, Christine

When I lived in Chicago, I, like most Southsiders, was always annoyed by
the fact the Northsiders think Chicago doesn't has an East Side:-).
Seriously, the neighborhood bordering Commercial Avenue is known as the
East Side. And it's a good five or six miles east of State Street, the
dividing line between east and west. Did you know that the streets in the
East Side have letters instead of names? Avenue A through L, I believe,
all right up snug against the Lake and the Indiana border.

It's currently 7F in Chicago right now, but as they say, it's cooler by
the lake; I'm about 15-20 minutes west of Lake Michigan (West of Foster
Beach; course everything is west of Lake Michigan :-)) If you want to
play a joke on someone new to Chicago, just tell them you live on the
East Side, Ha! I also used to tend bar in a neighborhood place that
didn't have a juke box & we used to send 1st timers to the back room
with a quarter to play music. Ha! The good ole'days! Ha! Miss them!
Anyway, down to -3F tonight they say, but it's supposed to start warming
up over the weekend & in the 30s next week--yes, easy weather here in
Chicago. I work with a colleague who spent a lot of time in Minnesota &
she thinks winters up there were easier--less people, easier to drive
around & find parking etc etc. Someday I'll tell all you guys about
parking in the snow in Chicago. Cheers, Christine

Out local media is reminding me of Dave's recent post about the
Toronto "blizzard". We're expecting lows in the upper teens and highs
in the mid to upper 30's and they call this an Arctic invasion. I
remember living in the Chicago and Indiana area when this would be
considered a heat wave.
