    Hi! It's great to have you here! This is my *new* generic welcome message that, fortunately, is required due to the enormous growth. We're growing by 100 new members a day, and I just couldn't keep up. But that's a good thing. ;-)

    Invite your friends too. We’re trying to reach 20,000 members by Wimbledon. :-)
    If you need any help, let me know.

    Hi Raj,

    I work till 5:00 pm every weekday in burbs, it is about 30 minutes from Downtown. So I can play every weekday at around 6:00 pm except Tuesdays and on Saturdays. The question is where do we play? there is a court near my place (I live in bridgeport) that usually has free courts, the address is: (it is called Dunbar Park)
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=dunbar+park&sll=41.838554,-87.619143&sspn=0.012757,0.026436&ie=UTF8&ll=41.843862,-87.619143&spn=0.012756,0.026436&z=15

    Any other court is OK with me, I try to keep my tennis stuff in my car,

    by the way my number is (312) 927-5966 , feel free to call me,

    Hi Raj,

    here the link for Chicago Tennis Courts:
    http://www.chitowntennis.com/ChicagoTennisCourts.htm

    look for ones under "Chicago Mid",

    Are you free this Sunday Morning?

    If we decide to play at Dunbar Park, you can take the red line and get off at Sox-35th , it is 15 minutes walking distance from the court or I can pick you up at the train station,

    let me know,

    -Amir

    Hey,
    I am pretty much free tomorrow after 3pm. Where do you usually play tennis? I usually go to OZ park in Lincoln Park and Recreation Driver by Irvin Park and Lake Shore Drive. I think the closest tennis court by you is the one by UIC. Grant park tennis courts sucked by the way.
