Way back in the Spring of 2007, my wife, baby daughter and I bumped into Ms. Obama at the Target on Roosevelt Rd in Chicago. This was before the tons of national attention they were about to receive. They did get some local Chicago spotlight due to his Senate position. I saw her in the toy aisle with two shopping…

This right here! I made a calculated risk from a worldwide established $8 billion/year company to a $11 million start-up, thinking I would have even more directional input to the overall strategy. Well, I didn’t take into account the “old guard” who were the first employees (with little to no real experience) being…

You’re from Dolton?

THIS! As a lifelong Whitesox fan, it’s this fan persona that is most irritating! I am happy for the great grandma who has gone to hundreds of games in her lifetime to get to witness her team win the big one.

This sounds like something from Missing411:

I worked at Grupo Bimbo in Denver, the bakery company that furnished those free loaves of bread outside of the concert that day. Best free P.R. we ever had...the next week we sat and watched that youtube video a half -dozen times and laughed our asses off...

The scariest part of that story?

I moved into a brand new rehabbed Condo in Logan Square (Shakespeare Ave) that was haunted A/F. We bolted that one to a loft in Bucktown that was also haunted, but in a different way. Moving to Colorado seemed to do the trick.

As a Southside Sox fan, this is the best rebuttal to the cross town venom, I’ve read in quite some time. I’m actually not cheering against this team at all this year...+1908

Could be East Chicago, maybe Lake Station or even Merriville/Hobart. They all look, act, talk the same...

I work in the CPG industry and Marketing knows how much the value chain HATES price increases, so the work-around is to shrink your products in all sorts of imaginative ways. There is the new packaging where, for example, a almont nut butter puts a dimple in the bottom of the jar, taking 0.5 ounces out of the package…

Oh look, tall buildings, Indy is GIT! I was born a Hoosier (region rat) and got the fuck out the day I graduated from Ball U.

God damn it. I liked Stink. He lives in my neighborhood in a Denver burb and we see him everywhere, gym, Sweet Tomato’s, Home Depot. I mean the guy stops mid workout to talk to overeager jock sniffers and is always a courteous, low profile, kind-of-guy. Now this just puts all that goodwill into the crapper, as willful…

I came home for Spring Break from Freshman year at college, because no money and parents didn’t believe in fun. About two days into a nine day stay at home, I couldn’t handle being stuck in the ‘burbs without being able to go to bars, or other people’s house to get my drink on. Well, my parents decided to go downtown…

I have to imagine after you/her finished that wasn't the end of the activity, you sly fox...

LSD=Lake Shore Drive. But yeah, I like the dosing take better.

That was my mental spank bank material as a fourth grader back in 1984...she set the standard for my mental picture of what all my future girlfriends should look like.
