I like the part where Jagister fell for the prank of people telling him Chicago was a good Midwestern city.


P.S. It's still better than Des Moines.

I will give you credit, Chicago probably is #3 behind Minneapolis and Madison.

Besides Detroit and Minneapolis, I can't think of any other "cities" in the Midwest besides Chicago. Then again Chicago is my standard so even cities like New Orleans just seem like suburbs with a couple buildings to me.

Edit:

Detroit is about as much a city as post-war Hiroshima was a city.

I'd rate it 2nd. I love Maidson, but Minneapolis really is the crown jewel of the upper midwest.

Madison is a great town. I spent two months there for training back in the early 2000s and had a fantastic time.

Yeah, I can't defend Chicago drivers at all. But I will say this, one time I got into a cab and told the cab driver I had to be at the train station in 15 minutes and we were about a 25 minute drive away at the start of rush hour. Dude got me there in 10. If you've never had a cab driver fly through a red light going 40mph or going the wrong way down a one way street because it is clear and you're only gonna be on it for one block then you've never lived. I just handed two $20s to the man and told him to keep it. It was fantastic. My only regret is that I didn't think to tell a cab driver to "step on it."

I had a similar situation getting to DCA last week from downtown DC. He drove aggressive but still not insane. I m an what's in it for the driver other than a (hopefully) good tip? Lose his license, fir d from the cab company, etc. in short, I question your version of events.

The faster they get you where you're going and get their money the faster they get another fare. Though I've basically been using only Uber for the last few years. Just way easier and I'm never worried about sitting in piss.

I remember my parents driving on Dan Ryan back in late 80's and early 90's and seeing crap like this all along the highway. Good riddance, but it's too bad the city's urban renewal plans didn't solve the outrageous crime/murder problem.

Best things about Chicago:

Gyro restaurants

Enjoy your ban idiot.

We DID have a really good gyro there down on the pier. All these idiots were lined up like 15 deep at the McDonalds as we walked in and we were like heh OK then, walked over to the Gyro place, spent a lot less than McD's and got boss level amounts of lamb and sauce. Owned hard. Went down well before the boat tour.

No, I think Jastiger is for real. Most of his story focuses on how expensive everything is, which is classic Midwest. There's a reason most chain restaurants serve buckets of toxic garbage for the absolute lowest possible price. Because Midwestern wide loads care only about getting a good deal. (Well, that and the waitress refilling their soda seven times.) They're the reason Applebee's is still in business.

Its more saying anything is good is grounds for immediate attack in GBS. Its normal tho, I"m used to it. Some of us gotta fight the good Des Moines fight.
