Best place to live between Lake Geneva, WI and Lincoln Square (Chicago)?

My partner and I work in opposite directions—one ~20 min north of Lake Geneva, WI, the other in Lincoln Square (Chicago).

We’re trying to find a place in Illinois that’s a reasonable middle ground.

Any recommendations on best towns to split the commute? Also, is it better to be near I-94 or rely on Hwy 20 for getting into Lincoln Square?

Friends in Mayfair?

Hey! Shot in the dark but my wife and I are new parents and also moved into North Mayfair last year. Any other new parents in the neighborhood want to meet at Gompers or otherwise hang? (Not sure where to post this!)

Does anyone experience issues with picking up channel 5 on their antennas?

I understand we are in a digital era, but OTR antennas is a practically free way to get local channels.

I have an outdoor antenna mounted on the side of my place. It’s mounted on the south end, and it’s pointed south east. I put it up a couple months ago and it’s worked well for the most part.

I can pickup all of the big local stations no problem besides 5. I had ABC-7 on during the crazy Monday downpour and it didn’t skip a beat.

I have multiple TV’s in my place. Channel 5 distorts at all of the TV’s, regardless of weather and cloud coverage.

🍌 Savannah Bananas Fans! ⚾️

Hi neighbors 👋

I’m unable to attend the Savannah Bananas vs. The FireFighters games at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL due to health reasons.

I have 5 tickets available for:
📅 Saturday, July 25
📅 Sunday, July 26

I’d love for these tickets to go to fans who can enjoy the games.

You can take 1, 2, 3, or all 5 tickets — I can transfer them separately if needed.

If you’re interested, please message me for details.

You like vodka mule
You like chewing gum
You joke “oh no Caleb you drove past your house”
You like to watch the bears

You like the love of my life

And he likes you because you’re nice to him and you take him to places he’s never been

He doesn’t think you’re hot
He needs viagra to get it hard for you
And he can’t cum not because he is too drunk
