I found it ludicrous when fields where my kids played ball had no restroom nearby sometimes. Games in spring didn’t even have porta-potties sometimes. Just bizarre.

Short version: a woman just filed suit because at least 7 former Cornell students (allegedly) SAed her in 2024 and the university did basically nothing to ensure justice for this woman. The details are horrendous; Google “Cornell seven” if you want more info.

You do know the story of the DMB tour bus emptying the contents of its bathroom into the Chicago River, right? They will never live that down in this town, although they have somehow managed to get gigs here in spite of it.

I seem to recall that Daley really played up the possible danger of an attack to justify his actions. It was (I think) kind of a political hot potato because nobody else wanted to look like they were against protecting Chicagoans in that post-9/11 time.

The lack of public restrooms available during the pandemic is a major challenge for families with young kids, pregnant people, delivery workers, and others. How can we address that?

And “school choice” (which often involves kids going to schools too far away to walk to) is a factor in the U.S. as well.
