Made my first service visit to the Genesis-only dealership in Highland Park, IL today. Love the facility!
Great to see them establishing Genesis-specific facilities and making an effort to deliver a full luxury car experience.
Hi all! I’m new to the sub, my wife and i adopted our daughter in May 2026, she is 13 weeks old.
In the waning weeks of my parental leave from work, I’d like to create a children’s picture book about our family’s story, as one of the ways that we can talk to our daughter about adoption. I was envisioning something like Jamie Lee Curtis’ “The Night You Were Born”, but customized to our story and maybe bringing in some of our journey beforehand (eg fertility struggles).
Has anyone done anything like this? If so, any sites or templates that exist out there to help create a bespoke children’s book? I would also welcome genera tips and other related experiences. Thank you!
What’s up all. I’m a road biker living in Lakeview, and while I appreciate our nearby roadie options (LFT; Sheridan from Evanston to Great Lakes Naval Base), sometimes some variety would be nice.
Anybody have anything recs on any day-trip options for fun paved bike routes? Ideally would want less than 2.5 hour drive from Chicago, and routes that are >30 miles (fine if some of that is via an out-and-back). Thanks!
Hey all. A few friends and I were planning to do the Holland 100 century this Saturday, but air quality is looking really bad. Anybody else dealing with a similar situation?
I’m wondering if there are any other events that we might audible to in more AQI-friendly geographies (eg southern Illinois). If Michigan AQI is over 200, I just don’t see how we could ride it safely.
Based on Marc’s comments on yesterday’s pod, the Heroes are going to make this a more robust project and they’re going to limit to “this century.” In advance of those episodes, I thought it might fun to bat around our own lists on the sub.
For me, the “greatest” label means this is about caliber of NFL player, not “story of the NFL” stuff. So if I was doing a greatest all-time Jets selection, Darelle Revis (top ~5 at his position) would clearly beat out Joe Namath, even if Namath is probably the “face” of that franchise. Accolades like All-Pros, All Decade Teams, and MVPs are helpful here.
I thought about it in three general tiers, with a few team examples to start:
NO DISCUSSION NEEDED
PROBABLY A CLEAR #1 CHOICE, BUT SOME FUN DARK HORSES TO DISCUSS
WIDE OPEN
How do people feel about the answers for your own teams? Any quibbles with these initial examples?
Hi all. I have found a men's Oxford button-down shirt from a mass retailer that I really like-- the "slim" cut is aligned to my preferred fit, the texture and colors are good, etc. This would be a great source of go-to casual shirts, which for me is worth its weight in gold.
But there is one issue. The shirts are too long. I am looking for Oxfords that I can wear untucked in the evening or weekend, but that fit well enough that they don't look sloppy. The slim fit is a good start, but the length is clearly too much-- the front hem of the shirt is hitting at the bottom of my fly.
My question for the experts: Is it possible for a tailor to shorten the length of an untucked Oxford and still have it look good? E.g. keeping the right stitching and look on the bottom edge, preserving the right "scallop" shape of the hem on the sides, etc.
It's tough for me to find casual shirts that I love, which is why I'm willing to spend on tailoring if it gets to a good outcome. I'm just not sure if this type of tailoring is possible.
Apologies for my ignorance, and thank you for any guidance you can provide!
