The Islamophobic attention heaped on Dearborn is really ugly and awful, magnetizing unhinged racists and far right influencers to visit and harass people. I worry about what happens if that same level of attention becomes directed at southwest suburbs of Chicago like Bridgeview or Orland Park.

If you haven't been to Two Mile recently, plan a new visit! They expanded into an adjacent storefront a year or two ago, and the larger space is very nice.

Extremely jealous of this lineup - and I say that as somebody who interacts with and deeply respects a lot of the tech-adjacent folks who've been on Chicago's mayoral transition teams before. This is a super solid group of people, really great choices all around.

Second worst thing about black metal (after the fascist infestation) is that many people in the scene are so hostile to genre fusion that we get 1,000 muddy albums from bands that sound exactly alike and then bands like Imperial Triumphant are frowned upon by TRVE KVLT types for doing cool new stuff

Looks like Dolton Bowl got shut down over the weekend for some sort of license issue :(
The place's current owner, Yianni Mavrakis, is a young social media-savvy guy who purchased the alley about a year ago and also owns Town Hall Bowl in Cicero, which he renovated and reopened in September.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.
They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.
More updates TK.

One nice thing about used records is that sometimes a wayward Smoking Popes CD shows up as a little bonus inside the elaborate packaging for a Constantines album
