[UMW_drama]IKEA is so late '90's. We Chicagoans are so over the IKEA rage. I guess this is a good thing for us....no more Michiganders coming into our neck of the woods driving like old Floridians doing 30 mph in the left lane.
Good riddance!

IKEA was all the rage last year for us in Minnesota.
BTW, you Chicagoans are awsome, when I was visiting last time I was doing 90 mph on the highway and still getting passed by minivans and semi's!

That's awesome. Can't wait.
As for Chicago drivers, of course they need to drive fast on the highways, you can't actually get anywhere on the streets. You can't see the paint on the road, none of the street signs are illuminated and sometimes they're not even there. Oh, and they can't seem to make up their mind about whether to use a red light or a stop sign, so they just alternate at every intersection. Then there's how the forward line suddenly becomes a turn lane, or how lanes suddenly merge without any merge sign. It's a total disaster.
It's almost as bad as driving in.... Boston.
Well, okay, maybe not that bad. In fact I apologize - that was pretty low of me.
Still, it's rough, and us Detroit area folks can always get our speed fix on 696.

Not to mention its the only place where you pull up to the line at a light and have to look out your sunroof to see the light above you.
Chicago traffic licks balls, and even 90 is slow.
I am with Urmil, people from all over go to that fuc*ing store thank god they are building more elsewhere.
The only good thing about Ikea is there are a lot of hot chicks who shop there.
I was on a Milf hunt last time while my friend shopped for lamps.
Between the little kids shitting in the ball room, crying infants, I found at least 10 bitches I would have polled.

True! I used to live there.
The roads AND the highways are bad in Chicago. It's because of all the rigged bids and corrupt politicos -- taxpayers pay for good roads, but the contracts go to crooked contractors who do a crappy, half-a$$ job and pocket the money, and then the state charges you tolls (which they recently doubled, unless you buy their I-Pass) just for the pleasure of driving over the crappy pot-holed highways. I call Chicago the "Land of Lane Change." They drive 90, but its mostly going sideways.
