Braves hive: now that we’re here, I have a judgment Q. Where applicable, in our house, we try to choose an athlete to set the tone for a birthday. The Mr. is turning 46 and “Kimbrel Year” feels like a game of roulette, like either lights out year or catastrophic year. I can’t do this right?

I'm going to The Chicks "Taking the Long Way" 20th Anniversary show this weekend in Chicago and my question is should I wear a 22-year-old Kerry-Edwards campaign button because honestly that feels on-theme

These seven young men are so brave and this institution that is supposed to serve them but doesn’t is so deeply deranged and corrupted. We should commend them for their bravery while also condemning the conditions that necessitate it.

"Choosin' Texas" made its way into our home over the summer when a cohort of Atlanta Braves starting calling themselves "Ella Fellas" so this take checks out to me.

hello I would like a word with the @chicagotribune.com headline editors, huge missed opportunity for "Where there's smoke, there's [Chicago] Fire."

Smoke near Obama Center and UChicago on Monday and Tuesday is for an episode of ‘Chicago Fire’

Smoke special effects near the Obama Center, the University of Chicago and the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry on Monday and Tuesday are part of an episode of NBC’s “Chicago Fire.”
