I got in a well-needed run after mid-night in the Downtown Skokie area. Took a few pictures on route because rarely do I ever run in this area, let alone tour it on foot. Despite it being after mid-night, I had no worries of encountering anything catastrophic being that Skokie is one of the more peaceful Chicagoland cities.
I was surprised that Skokie did not have a lit up Christmas tree downtown, but this set-up is still intriguing for me into this run.
Happy Chanukah!
Just short of 2 miles

Alex,
What is wrong with Jerusalem. It is a very very beautiful city and so much to see. For Hannuka we say Happy Hannuka.
Alex,

Thank you so much for the Happy Hannuka wish. I am sad to say goodbye to Hannuka. I grew up in Minneapolis and so that meant we are neighbors. I have been to Chicago to visit once and to the airport once. I loved flying out of Chicago when I either came to live in Israel. Chabad also puts up Hannukiot all over Jerusalem.
next year, in Jerusalem!
Are you going to Jerusalem?
isn’t that what people say at Chanukah? hell no, I am not going to Jerusalem
I have no clue. I work in a Jewish friendly city and seen this during my run.
I have no problems with the Jewish, I’m just not visiting a war zone, that’s asking for trouble
I actually work with a Jewish family. Always curious to hear what they have to say about Jerusalem
Alex, actually the saying Next Year in Jerusalem is for our holiday of Passover and is said at our Seder.
you’re right. I got it mixed up… so what do you say for Hannuka?
Alex,

there is nothing wrong with Jerusalem per se, my problem is with the fact that it is in a war zone…
So Thomas I take it you are not Jewish or are you? I got the feeling that you are around a lot of Jewish People. Is that right? Well, that was nice of you to wish us a Happy Hannuka. The only way Hannuka is spelled correctly is in Hebrew. It is spelled if can write in Hebrew here: חנוכה
Everything is spelled correctly in Hebrew. There are some that spell Hannuka in English with a C and some with an H that is why I said that only in Hebrew is it spelled one way and that is the correct way.
