    Joseph haha why do you hate Chicago?

    I know don’t worry its a suburb of Chicago and only temporary. We’ll be renting…..I still recommend to everyone to live in a small town if possible.

    DaasYochid, now you tell me, I will actually be working part time at the zoo to pay for dental school there

    Don’t worry, im not moving to Chicago to start a revolution for all orthodox Jews to become brain washed by secular feminist tv shows.

    I have to move there anyway for my interview.

    Why aren’t you starting a revolution for orthodox Jews to become brain washed by secular feminist tv shows? I don’t want to have to do it myself, but I will if I must.

    Mod, I specifically asked for the hunter to precede troll and be hunter of trolls for this very reason, when I saw you change it to troll hunter, I knew thats where you were going.

    Anyway, how about a compromise, I will stop coming to the coffee room and wont post anymore…. and you delete my subtitle?

    I think thats a fair deal for everyone.

    “Spend half your free time at roumanian”

    Is that “Romanian” on Clark?

    Hey, I was going to say that you must go to Romanian. They have the best pastrami, hot dogs and chopped liver. We have it brought to us overseas whenever possible.

    I hope the interview you are going to in Chicago is for The William Wrigley Jr. Company, then if you get the job Skittles will finally become kosher 🙂

    I on the other hand, agree to continue coming to the coffee room, even though some posters are deliberately mean and insulting to me.

    I’m sorry. I’ll try to stop. It’s just that sometimes you make it so easy…

    My experience with Chicago — since arriving here as a single “Bochur” 39 years ago — has been:

    * The Orthodox Jewish community of Chicago is among the best for Hachnossas Orchim (i.e., welcoming strangers).

    * This is true of all segments: Chassidic, Lithuanian, Modern Orthodox, etc.

    * Just walk into any Shul, Bais Medrash, Kollel… and see for yourself.

    * If your experience parallels mine, you will get multiple greetings, multiple invitations for Shabbos…

    Try Tein-Li-Chow’s Spicy Chicken Peanut Salad 🙂 As a guy who likes peanuts, it’s not expensive and really good.

    Second all those who mentioned Romanian.

    If you are moving from a swing state, wait until after November 8th to move, as Illinois is always democrat.
