Chicago Bears Fantasy Defense

Bears Sign Tommie Harris This was a good move, but at the same time a no brainer. While they gave him a ton (40m over four years with 18 guaranteed), Harris has proven himself as a guy that can cause havoc and may actually be more important than Brian Urlacher is now. Next up for the Bears is…

Should I Own a Car in Chicago?

No one in the arts drives to work everyday in Chicago.  Chicago has some of the worst traffic in the United States.  Finding free parking can be a nightmare, and commercial lots are expensive.  Plenty of people make bank, yet take a train or bus (Metra or Chicago Transit) to avoid the hassle…
