Wow - those look awesome!! Near us was just built what I can best describe as a 4-story yawn. I mean I love the additional housing in the area, but the architects/developers were just so damn lazy.

I didn’t know that either! And of course now I’m wondering where Ashland got its name. (First thought is something to do with the fire - but honestly I’d be surprised if Ashland didn’t predate the fire..)

What really gets me about this is that the fucking Bears just got an entirely new stadium only 20 years ago. (Sure it’s still Soldier Field, but it was completely rebuilt). Is it even paid off yet?? In 20 years will they JUST OMFG HAVE TO HAVE another stadium??

The character of Rudy in the 1990 Williams pinball machine Funhouse was voiced by Ed Boon, who would go on to create Mortal Kombat two years later.

No, I don’t work for them. But I’ve lived in Chicago 30 years and I’ve bought countless appliances from them. From window ac units, to washer/dryer combos, dishwashers, cooktops, etc. Their customer service is out of this world. They do ship nation-wide.

They didn’t “fail” .. they actively chose not to bother. They clearly want transit to tank.

Yeah - those seasons had a few glimpses of greatness, which has me encouraged for the future. Disney pulling out is, in my opinion, a good thing. Maybe this “soft reset” of sorts will invigorate the show. I’m going to miss Ncuti though, he was such a delight.

Yeah - I’m in a similar situation of taking buses more and more often lately, and for the most part there has been a great improvement. (Hopefully the pace of improvement continues for many more years!)

Oh, that’s the worst! A few years ago the City spent millions working on this intersection and … it’s exactly the same. Same deadly design for pedestrians, for cyclists, and terrible even for car since the new stop-lights that cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars, run the exact same cycle. 🤦♂️
