Well, sometimes.

I live about 5 blocks away from us cellular stadium. Home of the white sox. The girl I’ve been seeing enjoys coming over, however there’s a problem. All of the street parking in my area is reserved for people who have a sticker which declares them a resident of the area. She doesn’t have one, nor does she have a chicago-resident sticker, because she registered her vehicle in the suburbs where it isn’t fucking expensive as shit to register your vehicle.

This presents a problem when she wants to sleep over at my place during the afternoon. If the game starts at 6, her car has to be out of the area before 2PM or else she’ll be towed. Game-Side parking? $22 god damn dollars.

I’m starting to dislike living in bridgeport. It’s far away from her, getting to work from here during the winter will be a bitch. Though, I am getting used to taking the bus. Previously, I stuck specifically to the redline train, but the cta will take me closer to work in only 2 stops. The previous route involved 1 fifteen minute walk, 1 five minute train ride, and 1 more fifteen minute walk. Now, it’s just a 6 minute walk, a 5 - 10 minute wait, and two bus transfers, from halsted street to cermak.
