Thank you, Andrew G!!!  I’ve been biting my tongue during this entire thread, thinking the exact same thing.  If you don’t know the difference in your and you’re, their and there, or principle and principal, any of your superior font decisions will likely go unnoticed by those trying to read your words.

navy pier is a waste of time.

make sure you find the guys who stand on the corner of the street try to sell “Street Wise Magazine” they are a gas!

Huh? Who said the economy has turned around?  I was just trying to answer your question…

You can’t walk around Chicago on an empty stomach.

Wow, I  had not noticed the economy has turned around…Happy times are here again…but not in Nashville. Oh well, at least we have Jack White here to boost the local economy….

Most new “green” jobs I see are not readily identifiable as distinct new trades/professions.  They are expanding markets for existing ones.
