You mean the one day of summer there, July 4th? Ok that's a Buffalo joke but doesn't it work for Chicago as well?
F. Sam's? I'm positive you didn't. On the up side a French movie called The Hairdresser's Husband was awfully seductive/naughty. http://imdb.com/title/tt0100112/ Trish -snob.
Hi Guys, Long time lurker, first time poster. I just noticed some messages posted here about sharing office space. Well, I happen to have room in my office in Highland Park. I have had the space for a couple of years. We used to have quite a few more traders in the office. But slowly , over time, they have faded away. We are currently running SBC fiber optic line. bandwidth is no longer an issue. ;-) Myself and 2 other traders are in the space currently. We all trade different products. Mainly futures, but some stock trading. Treasuries, currencies, metals etc. Good guys, nice space. If anyone is interested, pm me. Happy to have you come up for a visit. TjZ
I live in Park Ridge now but born and raised in Chicago. Been all over the world, but I love it here! mjh
Trotters is overrated and overpriced. Friends took me there a few times (I prefer other restaurants if I had a choice), and I always come to the same conclusion. The food is good but you can get the same quality for a lot cheaper elsewhere.
