Let me get this straight. You had to cancel the April 2018 dates that you have? Of course, if you are bent over and a door is open I can't promise anything.
I found out that the City added 2 East-West runways within the last 4 to 6 years and started using another that had been in existence but seldom used. At the same time 2 diagonal flow runways were closed. The diagonals went over non-residential areas and so neighborhoods were spared the noise.
Allegedly the diagonals were not safe even though they were used for many years without incident but probably it is because the additional runways allow more and larger planes to land. A "fly quiet" program which alternates plane flow over different areas and thereby distributes the noise (suffering) was developed but must still be approved by the FAA. The fly quiet plan is dependent on the use of the last diagonal runway. However that runway is slated to be closed in a few years so that even if the FAA OK's the program it will be closed down not long after.
No, if I recall correctly, a couple new runways were added within the last couple of years. They alternate takeoffs/landings and it may only be in the daytime but I may be wrong about that. I am going to email my sister who lives there and try to get the scoop. I am only going off my memory (which is not very good in general) of what the town was complaining about within the last decade.
I pretty much agree, except you never know what questions people may have. Just when you thought you have answered everything, POW, someone asks for information that has quite been given. As you say, have patience and think of the eggs.
The only bad thing about bucolic Park Ridge is that there are now landing patterns that bring a good portion of the airplanes that land at O'Hare over the suburb. It can get pretty loud. I do not live there so I do know if the patterns switch day-to-day or if it is every day. At any rate, it can get loud. I do not live there. I believe it is like the "L" near where I do live and after a while you just tune it out.
Well, one needn't go too far. I mentioned opera GLOVES. Though these sleeves also seem odd the other part of the shirt here is much, much more understandable.
Yes. But then again there is Edison Park which is in Chicago. In order to work in Chicago you have to reside within the city. So multiple numbers of cops and firefighters live in Edison Park. It is extremely right-leaning even though it is within the City. My sister lives in Park Ridge which is right across the street from Edison Park. Park Ridge is a separate city in the county. It used to have beautiful bungalow homes which are all being torn down and replaced by huge homes filled with wealthy young families.
What is "the other site?"
The one thing that I would recommend is that people not call people names because of their posts. "Stupid", "Idiot", "Fat" are not helpful. I think it is more than fair to criticize ideas in posts, in fact it often helps. It often helps me because I can see other points of view and perhaps I change my own because I see they make absolute sense. I am not saying I have not been guilty of doing this. Usually it is toward the same people who seem unable to accept the truth about things even when presented with evidence.
Sometimes however I will posts multiple posts if the other person continues to posts things that are simply not facts and can be easily disproven. If I produce the facts and they continue to state the same "non-facts" I may give up or I may try again. People who really take these posts seriously will conform their behavior. I have yet to use the "button" however believe you me my finger has been on that button occasionally.
I watched a few episodes but did not find it very funny. I could not get over their portrayals despite two of the most brilliant British actors (Ian McKellan, Derek Jacobi) being involved. Frances de La Tour, of course, was her brilliant comedic self. And Iwan Rheoh is very handsome. So I will probably give it another try because it did get such raves.
