It's time to say goodbye to Chicagoland.

I wish I had left Illinois sooner.

that's nice.

that's priced right imo, shouldn't last.

Try to find one with a higher pitched roof, so you’ll have some useful attic space.

And by all means avoid the “Florida flat tops” !

Talk about bad timing Olds! They are just about to relocate the Vatican to Chicargo.

US19 in Pinellas County. Prayers sent.

Ironically I am in the process of moving back to the Chicagoland. The winters kill off bugs before they can get freakishly large.

Also miss the great food options (and family). The best pizza where I am at now is basically the worst pizza in Chicago.

Mom and Dad lived in Palm Harbor.... fucking US19... miles & miles & miles & miles of strip malls, muffler shops, and hooker motels.

Kentucky. We do have great BBQ though!

Also nobody can drive here, it's actually infuriating on a daily basis for me. Whenever we visit family back in IL driving is so peaceful by comparison lol.

so i had my brother's best friend's daughter, aka my real estate agent, pull the comps as best she could find. hafta add the heated kitchen floor and home battery as none of them have that, and see the condition of the windows and siding but.... i gotta figure out an asking price soon.

i did some math on how much i really have in this place, it's not as bad as i had imagined. thank goodness.

bro, i'm sizing down, i just emptied my crawl and garage attic.

i do not want or need attic space, that's the goal here 100%.

and i would never buy a flat top, ever.

Winters are not what they used to be in northern Illinois, thanks to climate change. Florida in August doesn't sound like paradise to me.

Yeah August in Florida. How many months of bad weather in Chicago? It was 95 yesterday and stormy, 85 today and then....

yeah, it's gonna suck. but hopefully it sucks less than feb in chicago.


good luck selling this place.

met with estate sale sherri today, went over everything. life is going to suck for a week or so, plus i have PRE ass cancer pollups surgery the 22nd so i told her no working may 22-24. the sale is may 30 - june 1.

i have started loading ubox #1. i hope to just use one but we'll see.

Whoa! Sorry to hear that. Hope the surgery goes well and everything after. I wish you the best on the sale and move, but definitely moreso on the surgery etc. Wow, that's a lot to handle all at once there.

dad got split open a few times for the crab, mom too, i know my future.

not this time, but some time, it will be that time.

this move is part of enjoying what time we get. i see how short life is, even in the best cases.

OK, glad to hear it's not more serious. Not that it's fun, but sounded like it could've been worse.
Just make sure to post some rants and raves in the days following. 'Roid rage.
