Chicago is Awesome

Sometimes you have to walk around Hyde Park on a beautiful spring morning to feel good about life. While strolling, something occurred to me.

Eventually the south side/north side distinction will matter far less than the east side/west side split. As the south side improves, it will become more and more like the north side (except it will hopefully not turn into another Lincoln Park, and of course its baseball team will remain superior). The south loop is booming, and it's only a matter of time before the prosperity spreads down and meets Hyde Park. Meanwhile, the east side has the lakefront, along with Soldier Field, the Field Museum, the Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, the Art Institute, Grant and Millennium Park, downtown Chicago, the Magnificent Mile, and both top tier universities (Northwestern has several of its schools in Chicago). The affluent will live in the east side, and the poor will live on the west side or in the inner suburbs. Just a prediction!

Also, as a side note, Edwardo's delivered a stuffed spinach pizza to my apartment on Sunday, so they've been removed from my shit list.
