Excited to share photos of our concession stand adaptive re-use in Hickory Hills! By formalizing the ad-hoc use of the garage with a new service window, metal panels, and a supergraphic, we add to the placemaking efforts of The Lakota Group’s Veterans Park refresh.

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

The cancelled Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

This is why it is called the GREAT lakes

Dudes rock
There’s a wild story playing out on Great Lakes ship watching and coastal Facebook groups right now.

There’s a guy with a homemade house boat who’s attempting to traverse the lakes.

For MAS Context, I investigated what happened to Gerri's Palm Tavern, a legendary Bronzeville venue established in 1933 that survived World Wars, urban renewal, disinvestment, and urban attrition, but ended up a victim of aldermanic prerogative, and an ill conceived development plan.

My ranking:
1. The Last Jedi
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. A New Hope
5. Rogue One
6. Return of the Jedi
7. The Force Awakens
8. The Phantom Menace
9. Solo
10. Attack of the Clones
11. Rise of Skywalker (JJ Abrams should go to hell for this movie)
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

That’s my gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

Solid ranking - I have some minor qualms as TLJ and ROTS are too low but overall solid.
