Parking downtown is not something I ever want to do, so unless you have to go out to the suburbs a lot, renting a car probably isn't necessary.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wholeheartedly second this.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yes, I did. I was lucky and it was Sunday! No free parking downtown M-Sat. Oh, I wonder if we could get Monopoly Free Parking. Free Parking + Free Money! That would be cool.

Definitely thirding the "you don't need a car if you're staying in the city". If you're driving to the 'burbs (other than flying out of O'Hare), that's a different question--taxis are available out here, but you have to call for them, and as for public transportation, it's a joke.

cool, thanks guys! I'm trying to get my boss to give me money to travel, so I want to have a budget for him. I don't want to overinflate it, but I don't want to have to come back for money.

If most of your appointments are downtown, I'd just budget cab fares. Cheaper and easier than a rental.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Even if you have appointments in the suburbs you might be better off taking a commuter train. It can be scary driving in Chicago if you're not familiar with traffic patterns.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
it would seem that AmyLiz and Cass are going to be in the Bay Area soon, on September 15-18th.
There shall be brunch, on the 16th, probably in SF, following a night of running amuk in Juliana's neighborhood, so Bay area people, please save the date if you can.
Please excuse me while I run around my apartment and squee for a while.

I'm getting the pig!
Jealous. Jealous. Jealous.
JEALOUS!
(Ok. I looked up the spelling of jealous TWICE because typed out four five six times, the word jealous just looks wrong.)
