I would've rather gotten jury duty downtown, since it's basically the same commute for me. And there are places to eat! At the criminal court, there's basically a Popeyes and a dive bar that serves limp Wonder Bread sandwiches and Ore-Ida French fries.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Any Chicagoistas have recommendations for moving companies? The last time I moved was eight years ago....

Tom, I'm trying to remember who I used three years ago. I know that they were located in Oak Park and were priced right. They even showed up early for the move, and were quite fast in getting everything packed up (they wrapped plastic around lots of stuff, and packed up everything I hadn't gotten to in my final all-night packing binge).
I wish I could remember their name!

The place I used in '01 arrived about five hours late.
I'm mostly just moving boxes, so I might just call whoever from craigslist....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The one time I did have jury duty at the Daley Center
I'm not the only one who read this as Dalek Center, right?
Concerning the Daleks, IIRC they also levitated (offscreen) in the 1st Doctor adventure, The Chase. So it's been canon for a long time.

Wasn't there an early episode where the Dr. escapes from Daleks by taking the stairs?

Yayyy! They only wanted I to S for the Daley Center, so I don't have to go downtown!! That's a big relief, because the $30 for parking was going to be a bit tight, considering payday is Friday.

In their first adventure, they couldn't even leave their city. They needed to stay in contact with metal floors.
