reg_dunlop: Thanks! Just bought 4!

tptacek: Not clear why this is hitting HN today, but these are popular enough in Chicago to be kind of a cliche. No matter how convincing the poster is, I think you'll be disappointed if you plan a trip to visit scenic Galewood.

tptacek: Which four?

prawn: This was bait enough that I jumped into Google Maps to look at a few random Galewood streets via street view. Obviously very suburban, but looks like it'd make for a nice stroll until you tired of the cookie-cutter layout. Hugh Hefner's childhood home as a bonus.

tptacek: I live across the street from it. It's fine! It's just one of the most boring neighborhoods in Chicago. Walking distance to Johnnie's Beef, though, which is the best beef spot in the city.

holtkam2: Moving from SF to Chicago this week. This made me feel a little more excited. TY for the share!

tptacek: Congratulations! I did Chicago (born and raised) -> SF -> Chicago -> SF -> Chicago (detouring through Ann Arbor).Where in Chicago are you moving? It's really an amazing city.

fnord77: [delayed]

stavros: > “I mean, it’s exciting any time anyone says they like my art. Obviously, people buy it, but it’s still astounding to me that people like the stuff I make.”I love this.

cozzyd: If only the Loop one were centered on Madison instead of Monroe so it would have my condo in it...

vogtb: This reminds me of another artist that did an isometric map of the city. I bought one and it hangs on my office wall. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1673296980/map-of-chicago-loop-...Always fun to have someone over who knows the city. We'll spend 20 minutes pointing to all the buildings we've worked in, places we've eaten, or where The Bear or The Fugitive were filmed.

reg_dunlop: Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square (called those 2 neighborhoods home) then Summer and Caldwell Lily Pond. I spent many a summer evening under the promenade in front of the Frank Gehry Bandshell; And the Lily Pond...those posters are stunning. Really evoked a sense of place and love for the city.
