    Raised in Downers Grove.

    Living in Bloomingdale now.

    Favorite Illinois boot is Soldier Field, no question.

    And I am certain I have seen Sawyer's jeep.

    No kidding. I'm actually shocked that there are two other TC'ers in LS. Such a small world.

    Yes, I have definitely avoided shopping at Woodfield this month. Unfortunately, I work right by Woodfield (Golf and 53) and live on the west side Schaumburg, so I have to drive through all the Christmas shopping traffic after work.

    Small world! I work at Algonquin and 53 and it's a hop, skip, and a jump to my house. The traffic is as crazy as ever this year. Are you as stoked as I am about the new Bdubs on Meacham?!

    Yes, definitely stoked about Bdubs. Do you find it a little funny that there is a need to have police direct traffic in and out of Portillo's (on Golf) at lunchtime?!?
    I lost a bet...

    Grew up in Edison Park, now in Schaumburg.

    Keep trying to get you RFs to come out for a PJ Bears game viewing, but the only one that shows up is the smoking baby....sheesh....!




    :wave: :lol:



    If you grew up in Edison Park (which is a great area by the way...lived there for a couple years after college and prob moving back soon), then how the hell are you a RF Packers fan?!?!?!?

    Someone asked a few pages back where I work in Springfield, it's a sweet government gig downtown.

    People keep talking about this Wrigley place. Is it a lot like what we call Busch but with less winning?

    raised in Wheeling, now living in Arlingon Heights (by way of Palatine, Mt. Prospect, Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines...). I've pretty much lived or worked everywhere in the northwest suburbs.

    Stevenson. I haven't lived in BG for over twelve years though, never went back after high school. When I finally drove through it again in 2009 I was pretty shocked at how much everything has changed.
