Chicago LFP Group

[diversey]

Hi, Michael and Nicky: You guys made good points. We probably will start a loose/informal LFP group within this forum and have a meet up once a month. Maybe it will be the first weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, each month. More suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

I saw that in your photos and didn't know it was in Chicago. Great photo!

Well, I am partial to Wicker Park as I have lived near here for 35 years.

But downtown is center city.

Al EL go to the Loop. And I have a free pass! Good anywhere in 6 counties, Metra, CTA Bus and EL

I don't own a cage (automobile). So I bike, bicycle or CTA everywhere.

My favorite is jumping on the Blue Line which is 2 blocks away and arriving inside O'Hare Airport. Not many cities have airports inside city limits, we have 2 in Chicago, and accessible by train from city center. We used to have 3 airports inside city limits, but that last one is better as a lakefront park.

I use ZipCar once a month for errands.

Just checking since all the Chicago people are in here.....

Anyone heading out to the Photorama camera show this Sunday?
I need a few things and have a few things to sell/possibly trade and thought I'd check it out before I hit eBay.

Could make for a nice impromptu meet.

I have nerve been there before and missed the opportunities. I plan to go there Sunday.
