Chicago Produce

This was supposed to be posted a wee bit earlier, but unforunately, we must have been having some network problems.  These seemed to have cleared themselves up no though.

Anyways, last night I finally stopped in to Stanley’s Fruits and Vegetables (location).  After driving by the place weekly and seeing all the great prices, I decided to stop in last night after a photography lab to get some goodies.

All told, I spent $3.33.  It should’ve been less, but some lady ran off with all of the romain lettuce that was $0.49.  Instead, I picked up, (1) head of green leaf lettuce, (3) bartlett pairs, (3) plums, (1) vadalia onion, and (2) limes.

The produce there is incredibly cheap, and all of it looks exceptional.  I’ll definitely just go there instead of trying to deal with the not-so-great produce that Dominick’s and Jewel has (at crazy high prices).

City Life

Everybody always says how living in the city is so bad, and crime is so high, etc.  Well, for the past year or so that I’ve been living here, I guess I hadn’t really noticed that much.  That is to say that nothing had happened to me.  Heck, I even left my garage door open accidentally once, for almost the whole day. 

Well, that all changed today.  When Jen came over to see Aaron, she noticed that Erin’s car window was broken.  Erin and I were going to go for a bike ride yesterday, so she had brought her bike.  Needless to say it was gone.  Actually, it was the only thing gone.  Her camera, which was also in the trunk, remained.  Obviously it was someone that was walking by, since there would’ve been no other way to see it, which means it is someone from around the area.

She has filed a police report, and will talk to her insurance agency later today or tomorrow.  I highly doubt anything will come of the police report, unfortunately.  However, there is a camera at the end of the block, so tomorrow, I’m going to find out if it actually works, and if they may have footage of something.  I figure it can’t hurt.

Congrats to Mr. Fraser on his new job.  I guess it’s good that you’ll finally be moving in with the wife, eh?
