It’s getting you a lot more than the houses in that neighborhood, though, believe me.

It’s a $500k home in Jefferson Park

And those houses, while nice, are hardly mansions, or even that large in many, many cases.

I probably know Chicago better than most on here, being a lifelong Midwesterner, having spent a great deal of time there over my entire life, and who now lives in a small Indiana city connected to it by commuter train.

Some of the neighborhoods are really excellent (you mentioned Jefferson Park, I know it and it’s very nice). Some (black neighborhoods on the South Side, in particular, though even then there are good black neighborhoods and very good neighborhoods in that part of the city) are burnt out ghettos that are terrifying to even be near. Unfortunately, of course, the fine citizens who have made those neighborhoods like that are free to roam anywhere they please. If one doesn’t care to run that risk (something with which I sympathize), it’s best to steer clear completely.

You have to be careful no matter where in the city you are, but it can be a great urban scene.

Fox has at some point, but now it’s buried somewhere on the site.

If any word can lead to what happened to Henry, it needs to be banished from public discourse. It’s nothing but a weapon now, a weapon of shadow.

Apparently Sikh men are required(?) to carry such. From what I’ve read on X, some do so only in a very symbolic way, a very small blade kept in a container that can’t be opened. But others carry actual knives. And His Majesty’s government has decided that all (native) Britons (only, and of course — there are no exceptions made for Englishmen and Welshmen and Scots) are to be completely defenseless. They’ve even debated cracking down on kitchen knives (or maybe they’ve already done so, I’m not sure … but, you know, “knife violence” :rolleyes: is their equivalent to our “gun violence”).

I thought I was the only one who felt this way, though in my case it was the First Order in The Last Jedi.

For perspective, I saw “Episode IV” as a 4 1/2 year old. I don’t remember watching the movie, only walking from the parking lot to the theater. ETA: What I do remember, clearly, is the amount of space Star Wars occupied in my imagination as a boy.

I hate Star Wars now.
