Chicago pool happenings

Cabrini is behind the big white apartment building (and all the other buildings in between) - I hope you didn't burn any holes in them with your magnifying x-ray vision.

Now show me moving views from a mile before in each direction. Your little handycam photo isn't a very good representation. I have to say, judging from your other posts I expected a little more from you. Why are you so triggered over this in the first place, did you call Cabrini Green home??

Here, this is just for you, since Cabrini Green no longer exists this is what AI says, do try to get over it now please. I guess my Xray goggles worked pretty good. Are you trying to make a fool of yourself? You are doing a pretty good job of it.

"Yes, the tall Cabrini-Green apartments were visible from I-94, as they were located on the Near North Side of Chicago and were among the prominent high-rise buildings in the area."

A mile farther away with even more buildings between... sure, that makes as much sense as anything you've said.

Cabrini subsidized housing still exists there - the highrises were removed 15-30 years ago. Even then I doubt you could make out the detail you describe from the expressway - the pic I posted shows that.

I'm not trying to do that to anybody - but I can't help what you do to yourself.

So you’ve never been to Chicago…

I am an Illinois native. Worked for the IL Dept. of Insurance for 13+ years, spent half that time in the greater Chicago area. But I left for good in 1988 with no regrets. I live in and love Georgia.

Oops - I just noticed that you said you were talking about seeing Cabrini "back in the 90s" - yes, you could see the highrises then. Apologies for missing that.

I still wonder if you could really see the detail you describe or if you're just projecting from the historical myths (like everybody else). One detail I question is your description of "missing windows" - I doubt there would be any in Chicago Housing Authority highrises.

So I just read all 5 pages of the thread

Looks like I should check out Chris's if I get a chance! For the locals, what nights do they have leagues/tournament's at Chris's? I probably won't hit a ball (not packing my cue) but wouldn't mind watching something.

i am curious to this answer
when i was at chris's (many years ago)
the front room seemed more for serious players
they had a second room behind clear partitions with alot of tables
which i guess could be used for leagues
but was closed off/dark when i was there

Thinking of Cabrini, or the old Robert Taylor homes? Now they were an epic slum along the Ryan.

I should loan you my 3-piece carbon fiber cue I've brought it as a carry on many times. One day I'll have to see if it goes thru the newest TSA machines.
