Well, true enough, Paul, but we were omitting facts to play the East

my "big limited view" :-) the East side is the Lake Michigan Water
Park :-). Cheers, Christine
And it always was for me -- Although we used to travel down 41 to get to
Phil Schmidts for fried Perch .
There is a film mystery , or maybe a TV film, where the suspect's guilt
is pretty much confirmed because he
claims to have been from Chicago and replied that he lived "on the East
Side" when asked by the cop sor whoever
the private eye was.

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

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.
