Bridget and I (and Tommy) used to live on Chicago's Gold Coast. We had a condo in one of the high rises on Dearborn, not one of the mansions on State Parkway or Astor, but we were technically part of the community.
I still follow the neighborhood news for old times sake, and not just because I like seeing how insane the property values are getting. (If only we stuck it out for another year or two...sigh)
What I really love reading are the ridiculous laws the residents of that neighborhood ram through the Chicago City Council. There's nothing like rich people writing laws just for themselves. The latest example is this one: It's now illegal not to clean up after your horse when he pees.
Yup, we have a law on the books in Chicago because one rich guy on Chestnut and Dearborn complained.
