Favorite Pre-Corona Vacation Destination?
ExiledInIllinois replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
But you gotta get them early. The ran out at Cedar Point one year we were there. They have to limit the #s, can't accommodate all the elites. Everyone should attempt to buy them. It would be the same line. -

I don't think it would be as bad as a visit to Gary... LoL... What if everyone bought a FastPass. Oh wait, they can't do that. -
This isn't 2000 years ago.

You PETA freaks are funny. Gee... Get stomped in battle by a horse or use a caltrop that was invented over 2,000 years ago? A no brainer. The horse is going down before I do. Only the strong survive. Sorry, feelings don't cut it.

For @BringBackFergy from my Wiki Sources about area denial weapons: Go Illinois! HLM! Even before it was cool and hip! "Labour activistsEdit Caltrops have been used at times during labour strikes and other disputes. Such devices were used by some to destroy the tyres of management and replacement workers. Caltrops, referred to as "jack rocks" in news articles, were used during the Caterpillar strike of the mid-1990s, puncturing tyres on vehicles crossing the picket line in Peoria. Because of their small size and the difficulty proving their source, both the company and the United Auto Workers blamed each other. Collateral damage included a school bus and a walking mail carrier.[19] In Illinois, the state legislature passed a law making the possession of such devices a misdemeanor.[20][21] " @Howard ain't gonna like that! PCLM! Postal Carriers Lives Matter.

Can masks protect against these? I think not! I think it was the Barbarians that learned to use caltrops and stop Roman chariots in their tracks. Throw these all around town ain't no horse gonna wanna step on these. They always land pointing up when tossed. Just don't tell horse welfare advocate @Gugny! It is rather cruel, but effective in an arms race.

Gary, Indiana. Check out that view of The Lake! You've not been living if you've never visited! Sure, there's some bad parts... But like any place else, you learn to avoid them! The picturesque lighthouse makes up for it: Same with the Jackson 5 museum, don't miss that: And you can't beat $27 flights into Greater Gary Airport! I got the Shadester beat, I am a homey too! Gateway to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore: Where else can you visit Michael Jackson's childhood home AND go beachcombing all in the same day! And visit Buffalo born Homey, SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts childhood stomping grounds in Long Beach: But be prepared to drop some coins... That's a $1.7 million dollar home! -
Thanks!

No silly, where your residence was when you were the "minority." Jefferson and Best? Bailey and Genesee? ? -
COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic
ExiledInIllinois replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in Off the Wall
Thanks. I wonder what Juneau is doing. No roads go in and out of the Capital. So, the Capital city has to be out of the equation. ?? Unless it's coming in by plane or boat/ferry. It's gotta be Anchorage and Fairbanks. FWIW, I find it fascinating because it's so big and isolated up there. Tourists? -
https://thetylt.com/culture/chicken-wings-drumsticks-flats#:~:text=Flats are far superior when,it's not even a contest.&text=Drumsticks tend to have more,ranch or extra buffalo sauce. “The flat is by far the more enjoyable wing for a few reasons. One, the meat in the middle tends to be more tender. Two, it’s actually easier for some to eat in one bite. Three, it can be deceiving but the flat has more meat on it.” --

Thats what I am hoping. Raising house prices beyond what people can afford. Then the hunt for cheaper digs. But there will be transfer of wealth. All the old ones dieing in this will transfer $$$ and property to their children, etc... That transfer will affect the economy. 150,000 already dead. This will play out in many forms. The education bubble is also coming... -

ExiledInIllinois replied to Bill from NYC's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That's exactly like where I live here. Just more diverse. I can find a house for cheaper than my vehicle. Decent too! -

I get paid by the hour, blue collar. Even with my "management" wife who makes more, we still qualify for stimulus, but we take a small reduction. There really is an "escape velocity" here for especially the working class. Who the heck has a $3,000 mortgage? We have 5 more years left on house and we are out. Yup. Ain't rosy for the working stiff. -

Yup. Things aren't that expensive for people coming in from The City. Actually downright cheap even in the posh areas like Williamsville, Amherst, E.Aurora... -

Thank You! Money talks, BS walks. I grew up in S.Cheektowaga, W.Seneca schools. Things are changing and the money is fleeing. -

Sorry. I don't think it's funny. Money discriminates. The system is complicit. I live 20 miles from downtown Chicago. BS on location. Move to the North, its different. It's socioeconomic. -

No. But let's expel the elephant ? in the room. I am in a very diverse part of the South Suburbs here. In Will County, on the edge of the country. Explain how I built my house brand new in 1996 and in 2020, my value is less. I lost money on a new house in a collar county suburb. If I move my house via helicopter to the North Suburbs, homogeneous, less diverse area, I would get +2x what I paid for it. Same if I moved it to WNY. We live in a very racist country. It is what it is. I guess people will want nice, cheap housing some day. That's a plus. I live in a very nice rural area. It's just very diverse.
