    Fortunately, the IL Supreme Court just ended the prohibition against photographing cops. (The police sure didnt want that to happen.) The army of public camera phones should discourage some of the bad behavior, and will also help document those who cant help themselves.

    I've only been there a couple times, and yeah, it's not going to compare to any type of higher end burger, but man if you want a double or triple patty w steak fries, for a good price, look no further.

    Rich G is totally on w the Mpls/Chicago Jucy comparison. I will say though, the real Jucy Lucy is something I a LOT about my home, and Anthem does a better rendition than anywhere else I've been to in Chicago (Small Bar, blech).

    Hi Amanda,
    My roommates and I just moved to Chicago a couple of months ago and now live in the heart of Bucktown (right at 6 corners). One of my roommates has been a nanny for the good part of the last 6+ years and is sorely missing her beloved role! She is searching for a family to settle down with, so this post was such a blessing to show up in my email this morning! She is not a member of EveryBlock but I am going to forward this link to her. Please give her a call/email; she is so amazing. The families she's worked with ALL agree that they've never seen anyone as good with their children as Ashlee. Her email is ashleemarie206@hotmail.com and her number is 773-412-7250.
    Best of luck!
