Chicago sounds too expensive for me. Higher taxes, toll roads, and higher gas prices. Those Oasis are tits though.

Cook county tax is out of control.

They raised our areas tax rate to 9.75%. Downtown chicago is 11%. It's outrageous.

Gas prices are down though, luckily.

Jesus Christ. Sales tax in Michigan is 6%. Do you pay income tax?

How much does rent go for out there? here I can get a one bedroom apartment with gas and water included in a nice suburb for $505 a month. I only pay electricity.

Varies greatly on the area you are looking to be in.

Places around here go for $400-500, whereas if you go more north youre looking at a couple hundred more depending on the area.

I currently live in one of the better middle class areas. In the elite areas like Bloomfield, nobody rents anyways. I live only a couple miles from one of the largest malls in the metro area so that's convenient, however traffic is brutal. My apartment is a third floor apartment and it has cathedral ceilings and a doorwall/balcony over looking a pond. Pretty nice place.

Is it by Lansing Illinois? What about Michigan Ave or Lake Michigan?

its natural
i use mine in my bedroom. its a good size. why do you think its not worth it?

The size is fine, I just don't find 1080P to be worth any extra cost for a 37" TV in the bedroom. Its the 1080 that isn't worth it. The size is good.
Tommy, get a 37". The 32" is a bit small in my BR, but if you can save money getting a 720P, I'd do it. That is the part that isn't worth any extra dough.

So will I notice a difference if I run my PS3 on a 720p vs. a 1080p?

Well I did a quick search for apartments in hoffman estates and studios started off in the $700 range.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm getting money for xmas to put towards a tv, so I don't mind spending a little more and get the 1080p. When I was looking at tv's in best buy and whatnot, I could see a noticeable difference between the 720 and 1080.

Though I only have regular cable in my room and no bluray or whatnot, so I'm guessing it wouldn't make much of a difference in my case.

LOL I have to make almost double probably to maintain my same standard of living.

I may look for a 720p TV. I found a 50" Panasonic Plasma 720p for $800.

It will still upscale but, I don't see that much difference to worry about it for the bedroom, but then again this is probably your primary set not just a BR set. My main TV is a 1080P in the living room. Definitely go 37 if you can swing it though no matter what. The price difference is so minor and 32" is a wee bit small.
