Anyway, this is the frontrunner:
3.4 miles from Chicago Comics, and 1.1 miles from Quimbys. You can do better than that.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!
Also, since it just hit me today that I'm kind of almost on vacation, I have no motivation to do any work.

Because books.
Ooh, brenda! Bamboo hardwood is nice. And it's such a pretty building. Fingers crossed.
And yay for Robin and her DH! And Vortex! It's a home-owning boom here in Buffistaville.

YAY for potential houses.
I'm super jealous of the house-iness.

But my office is only three blocks from Graham Crackers Comics downtown, Tom. And that's closer to Quimby's than I am right now - it'll be walking distance.
And the frontrunner has a room that's pretty much designed for a nerd hole, plus a big deck. I just have to talk them down a little bit if I can.

If you're that close to a comic book store at work, I suppose that's OK then.
But really, they don't even mention in the listings how close they are to a comic book store. Don't they care about what's important?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But really, they don't even mention in the listings how close they are to a comic book store. Don't they care about what's important?
Heh.
When I lived in Wicker Park I was about three or four blocks from Quimbys... but not right away. They actually moved closer to me. (They used to be on Damen, closer to Division.)
btw, do people know the independent film "Go Fish" (about Chicago/Wicker Park lesbians) has a scene shot in Quimbys (at their Damen location)?

Tom, you've missed your true calling -- you could be a Niche Market Real Estate Agent.

Love them both, brenda! Word of warning on the first one, though--the description says that the apartment is on the north side, which is fine for lowering the temperature in the summer, but (speaking from experience), you do miss the sun coming in the windows. It's not so bad for me, but my cat always loved basking in the sunbeams, and she doesn't get any of that anymore.
