Welcome to the Windy City.

This is the off-topic discussion area of the Upper Midwest.

The overall site post guidelines still apply to the threads here (no For Sale threads, no Nudity, no personal attacks, no political or religious discussion, etc.)

This forum is for all UMW regulars and participation is encouraged from all. That said, let me put forth a few guidelines for posting here.

Taking threads off-topic is not acceptable. If you wish to have a conversation on a different topic, start a new thread.

Posting nothing but smileys for pages on end to boost your PPD is not acceptable.

Posting a post in every thread so you can have the last post in every thread is not acceptable.

Please keep to the spirit of these guidelines to help make Windy City more accessible for everyone in the community. If people do not follow the guidelines then the following actions will be taken:
