Okay, I have a few friends who think it's humorous to keep asking me how "suburban life" is treating me just because I moved out of Wicker Park. Now I'm the first to admit that, had I my druthers, I'd rather be living in the 'hood I've grown to love over the past decade. Right now, however, Photogal owns a nice house with a big yard and all kinds of cool amenities so I gues I'll just suffer and live in luxury for a while. Is that a crime?
However, even though I do live closer to Oak Park than Wicker Park, my new neighborhood is by no means "suburban." It actually reminds me of when I moved into Humboldt park about ten years ago. Rough, a little dangerous but definitely turning around.
Contrast this with Wicker Park, land of the H2 and the Jetta and legions of peroxide blondes shoe-shopping every weekend, and then tell me which tastes more like the suburbs.
Anyway, to the few of you who keep asking me how "suburban life" is I would like to make clear that while the question was funny and cutting the first dozen times you asked I have now just grown weary of it so cut it out, okay?
Hmmm…I just re-read that and it comes off a lot grumpier than I meant it to so keep that in mind, m'kay?
