From Geohashing

Hey - nice Chicago hash, and in a rather interesting location! However, it's called the East Side... two words (unlike in the Seattle area), and always with the definite article. Most Chicagoans haven't even heard of the East Side... we normally just speak of the North, West, South, Northwest, and Southwest Sides. East is the lake. But that area is the exception.

Was this your first time in Chicago?

Not the first time, but the first time with a reasonable geohash. Last year Milwaukee was in the lake, the year before I was downtown (with Garrets right around the corner) and walked all over Millennium Park, and the geohash was way too far away. Had a car neither time.
Glad to have finally added half of greater Chicago - next time I have to geohash the other half. Oh, and a meetup would be nice too.  :) --Thomcat (talk) 22:58, 24 November 2014 (EST)
