I worked in prisons for 10yrs all over Indiana and I can tell you they have a more respectful entrance experience.

I ordered my impossible burger at Sox park from the Fyre Fest menu. From the urbanism, bike valet, entrance experience, and concessions, the Cubs really are better in every way. Except tix prices. Shoutout to the best part of the Sox: @chicagobikesox.com
The saddest impossible burger, one sad tomato slice, no other toppings

Breaking generational curses but it’s just me not leaving events early to beat traffic to drive back to the suburbs bc we park our bike out front and ride home peacefully.

My 1yr work anniversary is at the end of this month and I’ve been in the PTO negative most of that time. Currently at -8hrs. My high (low) was -26hrs.

What’s your favorite part of Cubs games? Baseball. Definitely the baseball that’s happening on the field.

When I’m elected mayor, all buses will be treated as emergency vehicles where cars will be forced by law to heed the right of way. Buses will also be equipped with snow plow scoops to assist with car removal.

Not me trying desperately to create core memories by handing stickers to kids on the back of cargo bikes at BTD. Several successful distributions.

They’ve been trying to go out of business for a few years now so this makes sense.

Every. Day. Whether it’s a lost taxi, drunk driver, or yes, even a driver with a permit from the Parks, our “car free” lakefront trail is anything but. But go off about fast e-bikes and scooters while these 2 tons living rooms roam our trails unimpeded.

Believe me when I tell you, if the people in power gave a shit about our safety, we’d be talking about the cars I see on the lakefront trail every day and every night. Follow the money.

Are cars allowed on trails and bike paths? Exactly. 🙄

I applied for the “bike director” position and didn’t even get a call back. The city is so unserious about hiring people actively in the community doing the work. They could never handle the honesty and courage it would take to make meaningful change.

Omg first Sky game and it was top 5 Chicago sporting events. Game winning 3 with .6 seconds left holy cow. My fav part had to be the Metra race! 2nd fav part was the 3 block walk to the arena.

Parks can’t keep cars off the lakefront trail but they have surveillance money for people who need housing. Cool cool cool

Was it my most difficult haul? Not even close. Was it my heaviest? By far. 1 case of water, 2 cases of soda, 1 case of energy drinks plus more. The lower center of gravity and geometry of the bike made riding a breeze. 🦾 #OneLessCar #BikeIsBest

And the fact that means people can’t hang out in the seating areas outside is ridiculous

That’s what people were saying. He didn’t wanna hear any of that and kept saying this is private property, yall need to leave.

Capt. Jack Sharrow @sharrows.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
It was at 10:13p. His message wasn’t this space was “closed,” it was that it was private property and we could go across the street if we wanted to hang out.

We tried to hang out in the grassy area of the Obama Center and this nice cop said this is private property and we had to leave. At least they didn’t drone strike us??? 🫠
