Dude this is great. Really beautiful stuff. Also, I can't tell you how many times I've drunkenly stumbled around Prost & Fullerton, so seeing Lincoln Park & Chicago painted so vividly in your piece is honestly so special. you're making me miss the city even more lol

such a small world!! i really appreciate that, and itтАЩs still a solid place to drunkenly stumble around even if the nightlife in lincoln park is nothing compared to logan squareтАЩs,тАФwhereтАЩd you move out to if you donтАЩt mind me asking?
Yeah the drinking is definitely better once you get to the north & west sides. my drinking life in LP was exclusively at disgusting college apartments where the hardwood floors were sticky and smelled like dried PBR (I went to DePaul), but then i lived & bounced all around Lakeview/Wicker/Humboldt/Andersonville. I live in NYC right now and let me tell you, it doesn't compare to Chi (in my humble opinion). I miss my Malort and Chicago handshakes :////
that definitely all checks out, i have a couple good freinds at depaul and the apartments reallt are uniformly sticky lol
the chicago handshake is so incredible, itтАЩs cheap and two months after moving here in october i went from being totally grossed out by malort to absolutely loving it
and new yorkтАЩs biggest problem from what i can tell is itтАЩs just too expensive in general
yeah it took me a while as well, the first time i genuinely *enjoyed* malort it felt like i was graduating into a secret club lol. also it's so fun to go to bars around the country & ask if they have malort -- if they do their eyes always light up. I've gotten so many free shots that way lol.
yeah new york is too damn expensive, it's hard to be a working person here. also the pace of living is so fast & manic, what I love about CHI is that it's a good balance of city-energy and laid-back living. Like in CHI it's so common to just drink & hang or pregame at a friend's apartment, but in NYC that's a lot rarer (I think because the apartments are smaller here, & it's also not the vibe for a lot of people).
