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?

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.

House number 2 would probably be a lot cheaper to heat and cool.

Both buildings have several units available (both just got gut rehabbed), so I'll keep that in mind. Actually, in both of them I'm strongly inclined towards the rear (southern) units because they have decks.

Yeah, I'm very intrigued by all the enviro stuff at #2.

Whoo, Robin! Go, Brenda!

How cool is number 2? I love seeing stuff like that happening.

It is a mitzvah for Jewish people to recite blessings before and after eating or drinking. These unique and age-old blessings help one connect with God to express thankfulness and gratitude.

Poking around Amazon can be dangerous--they have the I, Claudius DVD set for half-off right now. Hmmmm, can I afford the $46?

That's so weird. It's got to be for newly-observant folks, right? I'm guessing someone who grew up in an Orthodox househould wouldn't have to fumble around for the prayer before each meal.
