I was at a picnic this afternoon and the enthusiasm for kei trucks and the new slate cars is making me hopeful that we may actually get some more reasonable sized cars on the highway again.

I'm going to be talking about the history of Jackson Park and what can still be seen from each phase. Geologic time, South Park Commission, 1893 World's Fair, the park's heyday, the WPA, the old man Daley era, the neighbors strike back. 8/25 7 pm at the Hyde Park Historical Society. 1/n

All this talk about the Bears moving to Hammond, it seems pertinent to report that the EZ Pass readers aren’t working on the Skyway right now. They might want to figure that out.

NEW — Teen trends are THEE topic of discussion right now. And convos about punishing teens and parents with jail keep cycling back around. Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill unpacks the risks of creating a youth incarceration machine and offers solutions. thetriibe.com/2026/06/opin...

OPINION: Y’all really want to create a youth incarceration machine over teen trends, huh? • The TRiiBE

We cannot have this conversation about “teen trends” in Chicago without addressing the racial component embedded within it.

Ditto, I went into last night with no illusion of winning. But I didn’t expect it to be this wide of a margin.

I'm extremely angry that, as part of the CDOT roadway changes for the Obama Center, they cut down this long strip of trees to make a parking lane. But it was technically parkway (strip of grass between sidewalk and road), not Park District, so it didn't count as removing park space.
