In reply to the discussion: Trump hit with demand to pay $1,700 to every family in blue state after tariff loss [View all]SheltieLover
(79,014 posts)30. I lived near S Elgin
I lived in Chgo for 55 yrs. Never once did I ever see a grocery store out of anything.
We had 4" snow & a little ice glaze. No usps, garbage pick up, school for kids, or food in grocery stores for a full three weeks. People were literally stuck sitting in cars on I-55 & I-22 for 22 hours. All because the powers that shouldn't be are too damned cheap to invest in eqpt & supplies to deal with what happens here every winter!
Officials in MS were outraged when citizens suggested they do so.
Believe me, you cannot comprehend the stupidity here.
Nothing at all nice or pretty about this region. Nada. Zilch.
Holding my good memories close while I wait for the repuke plague to pass so I can gtf out of here.

Actually, it's close to an hour because there's no good way to get there.

The Fox Valley is beautiful, though it's getting to be more suburban and less country.

There is nothing illegal about Pritzker demanding Trump pay money to his constituents.
