Lessons in Cultural Competency: Silence is Golden: Part Deux

I learned this weekend is that a hotel room in an office park 30 minutes outside downtown Chicago is eight million times quieter than an apartment in the East Village.

Of course, no one wants to live in Oak Brook, Illinois.* Not even the people eating dinner at Maggiano's like it was Nobu.

*(Not to be confused with Office Park, Illinois. Which would be extraordinarily easy to do. Trust me.)
