Roommates you’ll have when you live in Chicago

Between finding a place that isn’t a complete dump and making sure you’re in the the right neighborhood for you, moving to Chicago is probably one of the more stressful things you’ll do in your lifetime. And because Chicago is one of the most expensive rental markets in the country, chances are you’ll need a roommate to turn your dream of moving out of your parents’ basement into a reality. That dream can quickly turn into a nightmare if the person you choose turns out to be a slob or one of those people who needs to blast Bassnectar during their morning routine. So if you’re feeling a little funky about your next bunky, check out this list of roommates you’ll have in Chicago.
1. The one who commandeers the living room every Monday night for The Bachelor or The Bachelorette watch parties
2. The one who leaves dried-up, uncovered leftovers in the fridge for weeks on end
3. The one who has a friend with a boat in Belmont Harbor
4. The one whose boyfriend or girlfriend moves in without ever actually talking it over or paying any rent
5. The one who sets the thermostat to “arctic” regardless of the weather
6. The one who sells drugs out of the living room
Wanna Buy The First Base From The Cubs’ Game 7 Win? It’ll Cost Ya
(from chicagoist.com AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
The Cubs’ heart-clenching, anxiety-ratcheting rollercoaster Game 7 win of the World Series last year probably cost us a few years of life. If you’re looking for the perfect relic from that ultra-historic Cubbie-blue victory, it’ll cost you quite a bit of green. The first base used in the later innings of the decisive final game—the one Anthony Rizzo stomped to end 108 years of misery—is currently up for sale at MLB Auctions. (MORE HERE)
This app wants you to buy tickets last minute
(from mashable.com)
When you’re friend from out of town asks if you have a connection to get tickets where would you go? SeatGeek is pretty great for last minute ticket obtaining. Another great option is GameTime. In a matter of minutes, you’ll have your tickets and all of them on your phone. This is the use case that Gametime is trying to serve — social, last minute, and seamless.
SEE ALSO: StubHub finally gets social
“We’re the best last-minute tool for sports and shows and theater,” said Brad Griffith, Gametime founder and CEO. “Compared to the competition, we appeal mostly to a younger demographic who does more in life and wants to do more with friends. We really own this last-minute category in the ticketing industry.”
Surely, they aren’t the biggest ticket reseller and perhaps they never will be. But Colin Evans, Gametime’s chief revenue officer, who was also one of the founding members of StubHub, doesn’t see that ranking as an issue. Griffith, Evans, and their team based in San Francisco (with about 80 employees) are determined to own a new market. (MORE HERE)

This Is The Biggest Chicago Hot Dog We’ve Ever Seen
We love our Chicago-style hot dogs, but some people really, really love them. Like this guy, who is pretending to down the largest Chicago-style dog we’ve ever seen. This thing is so huge, it must have depleted the local sport pepper supply!
This originally showed up on Reddit, and some internet digging suggested that the man who is about to be in hotdog bliss land is likely Chef Michael Simmons of Cafe Marie-Jeanne. Also, his tattoo matches his photo on the restaurant’s webpage. READ MORE
