Well, it would be easy to sublet from a college student if you're talking summer.  Jackson Park is right near the University of Chicago.

I was chatting with this friend tonight and she was telling me how I should move to Chicago, and I was like, "Well yeah, should I leave Omaha then Chicago is one of the top destinations." But man. Maybe I should just move to Chicago.

I know this thread is big but I have a small question. How scary is it to fly into Chicago from the east and I fly out of it towards the southeast? I have heard stories about the wind being so heinous that the plane has to circle? I am not wholly down with that. I will be at the airport there for only an hour as a layover but like, am I gonna die?

Man, y'all need to get some longer-ass layovers. I'd come meet either of you with glee!

It's true, the word glee is also the title of that program!

look, I have been at work since 6:45 this morning and it is funny to me because I had a brief mental image of Biggins doing some ridiculous choreography in an airport or something

and I am tired

Iggy you shoulda had Tortas Frontera instead of pizza dogg, it's supposed to be the best airport restaurant anywhere, not that the competition is likely all that stiff.

This is true. I also endorse Burrito Beach, though it's basically Chipotle.  Good breakfast potatoes, and they have a buffalo chicken burrito.

They have a selection of beers and their menu lists margaritas. I have to assume you can get them to pour you the booze at flammable strength also.

Growing Power, there are several farms in different locations in chicago. I don't know which one.

It would be for the summer. I have to apply first and also see if my boss would let me leave for three or four months and then come back. I think about this thing every year. Last year I didn't do it because of bullshit reasons and no money.

Hey peacocks, a woman who helped coach my debate and forensics team in high school, with whom I was close and who is super awesome, is the Education Coordinator at Growing Power in Chicago. From what I can tell of what she shares about it, it's really super great (but obviously you already know that since you're considering doing it). She's just so enthusiastic and dedicated to the kids and they seem dedicated right back. I think you should stop thinking about it and do it if you can swing it!
