Quiet suburb this weekend? Some have fireworks all night some are quiet by 11 pm. Which burb is quiet after 11 pm on the 4th of July?

I live in an area that has loud booms until 2 or 3 am on the 4th. Looking for an escape for a couple days to a quieter burb. Have a recommendation? Thank you. 🇺🇸

Is Craigslist a good spot to get a job in Chicago? Any other good Chicago things to use it for?

Is Craigslist still a good way to get a job or other things in Chicago? Is something else better?
About 10 years ago I used Craigslist to sell an ac, buy Cubs tickets, and rent a place. Is it still a good place to go? Did you get a job from here? What else in Chicago is good to use this resource for.

It’s not just the temp it’s the humidity. Water & healthy electrolytes are you friends.

Lots of cool stuff in Chicago. Pride & more. It’s a combo of staying hydrated and having healthy electrolytes. Not the processed chemical bs stuff. Take shade breaks. Be the cool one. Have fun.

Question: Itasca fireworks > best places to watch 1 to 2 miles away?

The Itasca fireworks have been on my list for awhile. However I’m best not in a lot of traffic or squished in crowds. What’s a good viewing spot that is 1 to 2 miles away? I’m used to these and father away distances for watching fireworks so understand that it’s not the same and being close. Thank you for recommending a few ideas. Happy 4th. 🇺🇸

Jim’s Original changed their fries

I go to Jim’s Original 1 or 2x a year. Love the current nostalgic set up on Union. When did they change their fries? Went yesterday and for sure not the same. Yes, some people love them yet for me they taste less traditional and not my vibe. I think the fries remind me of McCain’s. I know they are moving to Pilsen so wanted to enjoy the current set up one more time before they go.

Community acupuncture…have a favorite place?

Love community acupuncture. Where is a good place to go that is also peaceful? I’ve been going to a good spot yet the road noise is a bit too loud so looking for excellent care in a more serene atmosphere. Big thanks.
