It's telling that some of these goons are still masking even in their own photos. They know they're going to be held accountable eventually. They know what they're doing is abhorrent.

While we're talking about clearing the sidewalks, what's the landlord responsibility for clearing contained/private sidewalks in Chicago?

These democrats have bought their own line of "blue no matter who" and think their party will be protected from this betrayal because of what else is happening in the country. This is simultaneously a nightmare and the closest to a three party system I've ever felt.

The fencing around Millennium Park is un-Chicagoan and an eyesore and needs to come down. What are we doing here. The park belongs to the public.

As a pedestrian, I gotta say the amount of cars that drive at me while I'm in a crosswalk is a way bigger problem than a bike or scooter on the sidewalk. Way more frequent too. They don't stop or some will start accelerating right at you. Just stop for 10 more seconds.

Now's a good time for Illinois residents to take advantage of a unique right we have to be removed from Clearview's database. Scroll down to IL opt-out here:

Very tired of the bus saying it's going to come in 10 minutes and then it actually comes in 17 minutes. Especially on short trips, it kills my timeliness.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

This is my biggest issue with the transit app: it doesn't take into account ghost buses at all. It's still convinced I could leave in four minutes and make it to a restaurant for dinner by 6:30.

Helped with a trunk-or-treat last night that gave away 40 bikes to kids--they were assembled and donated as part of a company team building event which is absolutely the coolest use of corporate free will I've ever heard of. We also gave out helmets with every bike!

I met someone the other day who didn't know what ghost bikes were and had seen them around and thought it was just an art project. I cannot imagine being that unbothered. Why would they have names???

Can anyone explain to me why large swathes of the Divvy map show no parking zones here until I zoomed in and then it appears they don't? I always find the no parking zones finicky.

I donated to Nourishing Hope and the Irving Park Food Pantry this morning. If you intend to do the same, don't forget about your company match! I'm able to use our giving portal to donate to causes and the match is automatically applied; but you can typically send in your receipts for the match.

It's actually infuriating how much time and effort this took because of a tiny NIMBY minority. I'm so glad it finally passed, we desperately need more housing density in Chicago.

My friends and I thought it would be funny to draw straws for who has to run the marathon next year. I had a 1/8 chance but I just knew it would be me and sure enough, ya girl is running next year. Enjoy my periodic complaints about the Short Straw Club.
