In Chicago and want a no line Garret’s Popcorn or Auntie Anne’s stop: Water Tower Place on 6. Very sparse mall but has a few hits. Tea Amo, Lego, AG and an older style BBW candle. Big cotton candy was fun.

Even plowed streets are still slick in the corners. Every open lot has less parking spaces now. Fill your feeders, walk, bike and drive carefully.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
