Well at least we have the Bears! 8-2 not to bad.

[SomeHairyOldGuy]

Yes indeed! RWD are you a Sooner fan?

[RWD]

No I don't watch much college ball mostly because I work a lot of Saturdays I'm a big Bears fan though.

[SomeHairyOldGuy]

Thats kewl. I really wish tickets weren't so hard to get now. Since I just moved here about 2 months ago and have never been to a NFL game.

Bears games are a blast. If you have a chance, go to a central div. game like the Lions or Packers. I used to go all the time. Father-in law had tickets on the 30 yard line. Notice i said had. He retired and can't get them through work anymore
I'll bet Chicago is a bit of a change compared to Tulsa. In about 2 months it will be -30 and you will wonder what you got yourself into What part of the city did you move to? I'm actually in the south suburbs. I did live on the south side for 25 years though.

we are out west of o haire. i think i will be right at home this winter. not worried about it a bit. only the walk from the train to work is gonna suck. there is a nice LFS close by to our place called beyond the reef. ever been there? a friend of mine said there is a place called old town aquarium shop or something. have you been there? is it anygood, ,my friend said it is.

I think I went to Beyond the Reef about 7-8 years ago, around Golf road if I remember correctly. I have been to Old Town Aquarium on Wells street before. Top end shop with the prices to match. I remember a black tang for sale there for $450 Excellent stuff but you pay for it. A newer place that everyone is raving about is Reef Dweller I haven't had a chance to check it out but a few friends have and said it's great. Lot's of home grown sps's. Living Sea on Devon in Norridge is right by O'hare. Good selection of fish and they keep expanding the reef section. Prices moderate to high.

Reef Dweller I will be there this weekend! Thanks for the showing me that place. I am in dire need of some VHO lamps,clean up crew, and some fish(since I lost 2 when I moved the tank a 3 weeks ago...RIP Flame Angel and Scooter Blenny). They have excellent prices. I was very impressed.
Yup Beyond the Reef is off Golf. It to is a nice store. Their prices arent as good though. My friend that said Old Town Aquarium was a nice place is not an aquarist so she didnt mention anything about steep prices. Still would like to check it out sometime though.
