Today must be the "Day of the Mazdas." I must have seen at least fifty on the road if not more. It was almost like a marathon of sorts - one following the other. I lost track of those, but around noon today, I was driving north on Lake Shore Drive and saw two RX-8s (both red) and one Mazda3...

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll definitely keep them handy for when Eleni and I go out on the weekends. We ended up settling for Greektown, as her parents have never been there. It was great - the food, ambiance, etc. We spent the day giving them a tour of the city (not that we're...

Yeah, just a bit crazy (j/k) :D. But as with all Japanese cars, you can't go wrong. The quality is a given, so what it really comes down to is what options you want. Enjoy!

Hey guys- I have the tendency to wait until the last minute for everything, but Eleni's folks are flying in from NY and will be staying with us for the weekend. I'm in need of some recommendations for a good restaurant in the city. I've been to several which I like, but I figure there could...

Hey all- Just thought I'd say hi. It's been busy for me - I'm working on this big-ass case which is eating up all my time. Sometimes I miss being an engineer as the day would end when I went home. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool in this hot Chicago weather. BTW, I...

Awww...she's adorable! Congratulations and best wishes! Michael

:wtf:

Ahhh...but we've got Chicago - the greatest city man. As for the Chicagoans, they are a million times better than the New Yorkers. Those folks (NY'ers) are a bunch of asses. That place will make you hard. I feel fortunate to be here and I'm so glad I decided to relocate.

Thanks to you too, man. It's true what you said, that sometimes we simply don't have the time [or even make the time] to chat about personal stuff. I'm a private guy (believe it or not), but I work with a bunch of gray-haired morons who don't know what they're talking about half the time...

Thanks, man. And likewise, if you guys ever need advice I'd be here to give it.

Dimitrios! Man, we went last night and couldn't believe how many people there were. I would've called you, but I left your number in the car and it would've been too much of a hassle to go back and get it (we parked far as there was no parking available nearby). There was SO much food, drink...

We're going tonight for sure. It'd be great to meet you. Sunday is difficult due to the early work day Monday (need to be in the office at 5 A.M. to work on a case). And besides, Eleni mentioned there is going to be a dance troupe performing at around 7'ish this evening. I've got to learn...

Actually, Trees, the advice on this forum HAS been helpful. Perhaps you should consider seeking out some for yourself. I offered an apology, and you responded with a tone of sarcasm. If you have a problem with what I write, then simply don't read it - no one held a gun to your head. No...

Thanks, man. Will you have Mindy with? I'd like to check her out. And likewise, you can check out Marley. :D Maybe we can hook up? What time do you plan on going? It's funny, but I ALWAYS run late; Eleni is on time, often early in most cases. She makes fun of me and says that I'm on "Greek...

Hey folks- Perhaps I owe all of you an apology. Though I was a bit offended by JBreed's reaction/comments, he had some valid points. Here I am a newcomer to this forum and immediately asking for advice, sharing personal stories, et al. I apologize in advance if I bored any of you (as this...

Thanks for the info, D. I think we'll be going Saturday as well. Eleni is not into large crowds, so is there a time you recommend that will not be as nuts? I know, I know - how can you be expected to predict this? (uhm) We haven't been to Greektown yet, so it's something to look forward to...

You're right - what was I thinking? (silly) BTW, do you know anything about the fest in Greektown this weekend? Someone who works with Eleni was telling her about it today. Is it worth checking out?

Thanks, Dimitrios. As for the invites - Eleni has a REALLY big family so I think it'll turn out to be a "big fat Greek wedding." Half of Greece will be flying in. But you're welcome to come - that is, if you're willing to travel to NY (family and friends are there, not here). Perhaps you...

Quick update (good news) Hey guys- Hope the meet went well Saturday - sounds like good times per the posts. Eleni and I arrived in Chicago earlier than expected, but all is well. Without going into too much detail, her folks did a complete turnaround. Just last month they were threatening...

You're a teacher? In my opinion, it's the toughest job in the world. People who've never done it have no idea about all the time, dedication, and commitment that's involved in teaching. My mom has been teaching for umpteen years and loves it, but she's given up A LOT in order to do what she...
