Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

The sculpture Agora — a striking work composed of 106 9-foot tall iron human figures — has been a fixture on the southern edge of Grant Park for nearly 20 years. But the artwork might have to take a hike next August.

Will Agora take a walk? Grant Park's iron sculptures might have to relocate in 2026
The new Grant Park Framework Plan includes refashioning Hutchinson Field into a "neighborhood-oriented amenity" — but doesn't mention Agora sticking around for it.

Post fata resurgo is a Latin phrase, which literally translated means "after death I rise"; it is used to express confidence in one's ability to recover from misadventures and to overcome the adversities of fate.
It is the motto of the Phoenix, a mythical bird sacred to the ancient Egyptians.

A friend of mine did the cover illustration of Demond Wilson's autobiography "Second Banana." The story as I recall it is that my friend drew the picture because Sanford And Son is his favorite sitcom. He posted it online, Demond saw it and asked if it be used as the book's cover.
