Love-Hate makes its home on Trib Nation each Monday. Here are the submissions from our readers…
I love …
…the many speakers hosted by the Harold Washington Library. Often top-tier authors appear to discuss their work. And it is free.
— Tom Conforti, Western Springs
…having a job again after 4 1/2 months of unemployment. And the fact that it’s with a great bunch of people makes it even better!
— Paul Lockwood, Woodstock
… when car drivers use their blinkers consistently. Ah, how nice to be able to anticipate what you’re going to do!
— Cheryl Bane, Chicago
[Trib Nation extra credit: Can you guess Cheryl Bane’s companion “hate” to the directional blinker submission? Editorially, I totally agree with you on both counts, Cheryl. — Jas.]
…riding the 5:40 a.m. Metra train in the summer as you can see the sun coming up over the city skyline.
— Doug Hartman, Kenilworth
I Hate …
… when you call 311 and they make you feel like you owe them something.
— George Senke, Chicago
… seeing items that other shoppers decided they didn’t want being placed anywhere in the supermarket besides where they belong. (This is especially bad when the item is a package of meat.)
— Violet Jurich, Chicago
… when “Love-Hate” in the paper says to go online at Trib Nation to see “more online” of Love Hate and there is no more than what we saw in the paper.
— Andy Weiss, Naperville
Us, too! I had to double-check after receiving Andy’s email becuase I couldn’t believe I’d shortchanged everyone like that.
And I did. I hate that.
There IS more online this week.
Anything you either love or hate? Tell us about it in an email to TribNation@tribune.com
