#3Not clear why this is hitting HN today, but these are popular enough in Chicago to be kind of a cliche. No matter how convincing the poster is, I think you'll be disappointed if you plan a trip to visit scenic Galewood.

This was bait enough that I jumped into Google Maps to look at a few random Galewood streets via street view. Obviously very suburban, but looks like it'd make for a nice stroll until you tired of the cookie-cutter layout. Hugh Hefner's childhood home as a bonus.

I live across the street from it. It's fine! It's just one of the most boring neighborhoods in Chicago. Walking distance to Johnnie's Beef, though, which is the best beef spot in the city.

Which four? (We have Beverly, where I grew up, and Garfield Park, just because it's cool looking.)

#9For some less serious Chicago bulletins, there was SquirrelTruth[0]. A kickstarter was created to post signs in the CTA about the danger of squirrels. I am not sure how many variations there were, but the only one I ever saw was, "Statistically speaking, at least one 'person' on this train is actually 7 squirrels wearing a human suit. Don't be a victim."
