Highs could get up to mid-80 especially early in the month. Overnight lows in the low 50s. Or anything in between. Pack layers.
If it's truly 36x60 (3'x5'), you'll likely have to round up to a 40x60 frame if you buy it on Amazon.
If you are looking for professional framing, I'd recommend Flax Art & Frame. They are downtown on Wabash, near the Art Institute, and they do a good job and yet (IMO, at least) are not excessively costly.
I do multiple trips. Once in a while I use the grocery cart and really stock up. If I go to the store a few blocks away, I walk, but if I go to the one 1.5 miles away (it's bigger and nicer) then I take the bus there and walk home. Maybe some people can take that up the bus stairs but I can't. It's also useful for laundry.
An example:
I have a security bar for my front door and an extra lock for my back door but no extra security system. I do, however, have two large dogs.
They're really not marginal differences. There was recently some coverage about a position at a north side school that was entirely covered by parental donations to the tune of $80k/year. If schools are able to fund entire positions with parent donations and fundraising there is no way that doesn't make a difference.
There's an entire book about how some rich parents made Nettelhorst a top school by investing a ton of money so other wealthy parents would send their kids there as well.
This is not your average PTA bake sale to pay for a field trip.
It's just another consequence of Chicago's extreme segregation.
Well an electrician can do it for you or you can do it yourself.
Electricians are kinda expensive.
Kinda depends on how comfortable you are and handy you are with stuff. But all you gotta do is take off the cover panel of the breakper and expose the wires behind. Then get a clamp meter like this one.
And clamp around each wire to measure current. Energy use is 120* the measured current per wire.
To get 1600 kWh a money you’re using on average 53kwh a day or 2.2 kWh / hour which translates to a draw of 18amps
Go through each wire and find the wires that’s heavy and figure out which circuit and you’ll find your offender. Turn those circuits off and see what happens is what I say. Either something isn’t going to work in your unit. Which means you found the problem. Or someone else’s unit stops working in which case you found the problem.
Having had to take care of it myself, in two different apartments, I highly recommend this insecticide dust. Being a dust, she will also need one of the applicators that is advertised on that same page.

For some restaurant ideas that are a short Uber ride from where you're staying, try Topolobampo/Frontera Grill, Monteverde, Girl and the Goat, The Gage/Acanto, Bavette's, Omakase Yume, or Momotaro.
Thanks for the tips! This is the coat I ordered since I don’t have one thick enough (I’m definitely open to other suggestions): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097RMF2T5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_JP3RBNQX8PRXY35BYDB5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I’ll check out some synthetic and Merino options. I have a few other trips this year to cooler climates and I don’t mind investing a bit
Electric spaceheater! I grew up in a house built in 1760, so obviously no central heat, bad radiators, and thin walls/windows that let all the heat out. My parents put electric spaceheaters in every room and it was toasty af. I’ve been using them in my own places ever since.
There’s all kinds of ones on Amazon, but personally I think the ugly metal radiator-looking ones work the best and get the hottest. This is a good example.
You will want a polyester base layer for the coldest days of Jan/Feb. It keeps you warm, and more importantly, it keeps your sweat at bay. I like Climate Smart. You can also look into flannel or sherpa lined jeans.
And I always recomend the Carhartt 2-in-1 hat. Lived here 40 years, its the best general use winter hat I've encountered.
How much money are willing to spent to recover this data?
Order one of these: Unitek USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA Converter External Hard Drive Adapter Kit for Universal 2.5/3.5 HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, One Touch Backup Function and Restore Software, Included 12V/2A Power Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EHDTRJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_C-9QFbKRN0DN9
Or if that is too much work I would start with geek squad, they can pull the hard drive out of the my book enclosure and get the data easily, assuming the hard drive works and it was some component of the enclosure that failed. If that doesn’t work get ready to contact the company below and spend big bucks.
