I think a Jabba the Hut costume would’ve been more appropriate
When your city can no longer host a parade. Your leadership has failed. If the mayor's administration and aldermen had any sense of shame they would all step down tomorrow.
Or your zoo closes on a Sunday bc of gangs
Honey I thought you were just grabbing little caesars
I am. Traffic is awful.
From the video above, it looks like all the animals in our zoo have been released.
Which makes the non stop use of the N word in the video a bit of a head scratcher.
I will continue to call the violent assholes who are ruining the city animals. They don't want to act like humans with a frontal lobe, so I won't refer to them as such.
This goes on so often. Don’t you wish you could get the backstory. Who holds beef. What the beef is over. Who won the skirmish. Stats etc
In Chicago, we bike to work. (Please ignore my Mayor’s detail SUV’s in the background)
Shootout in Winnetka. Those were my stomping grounds growing up.

Car thieves at 5 AM try to steal a Ferrari from a house on Sheridan road.
Bitch this is Winnetka. Sheridan road where you can’t find a house for less than 3 million. You think the guys that can afford to live there are sleeping past 5 AM? Of course not. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to afford to live there. Look at the yard in that doorbell cam, does that look like a get up at 6 AM neighborhood?
Once more, you don’t think all of those North Shore dads pushing paper and making millions aren’t getting FOIC cards to retain some sense of their masculinity?
These vermin start coming for the North Shore and they’ll be stacking “gangsta” bodies faster than you can count. This isn’t some defenseless Wicker Park hipster you’re knocking over here. Wealthy suburban dads don’t play that shit.
Winnetka Homeowner Exchanges Gunfire During Car Theft Attempt
Despite a shootout that shut down Sheridan Road, officials said the village's Memorial Day parade is set to continue as planned.

Retraction. Not a Ferrari. A Range Rover and a Maserati. Guy must have been down on his luck, relatively speaking at least. Probably the poor one in the neighborhood. They passed around a collection basket for him at church and what not.Shootout in Winnetka. Those were my stomping grounds growing up.

Five daughters asleep inside. What a stud
Dad gets into shootout with group trying to steal cars while 5 daughters sleep inside Winnetka home
The homeowner who fired his gun said he did what had to be done after suspects broke into his home to steal his car keys.
This is a statewide issue, but this article really shows how broken the Illinois pension and educational system is, w/r/t cost controls:

Keep in mind, Illinois has the most or close to the most school districts (and so more district superintendents) per capita than any other state in the U.S.

Illinois school district consolidation provides path to efficiency, lower tax burdens
Nearly 25 percent of Illinois school districts serve just one school, and over one-third of all school districts have fewer than 600 students.

New Trier is a different level though, so I'm not surprised.
BTW, just was downtown (River North) and I'll make a couple of comments:
- Tons of homeless people around, laying on sidewalks, digging through trash cans, begging for money (more than I remember previously)
- Construction is out of control - everywhere was a mess
- Traffic worse than ever going both to/from ORD and MDW (Kennedy, LSD, Stevenson, everything)
- City felt more normal during the day and night, although I was only walking around at ~10:30pm or so
- Restaurants are still great (new 101 Club was pretty good, Adalina was great, Gibsons Italia...)
I’m a New Trier alum. Yes the administrator salaries and pensions in that district are unconscionable. But it’s also one of the wealthiest school districts in the country, not just the state.This is a statewide issue, but this article really shows how broken the Illinois pension and educational system is, w/r/t cost controls:

Before you start in on the silver spoon accusations. Recognize that I grew up in Glenview. In North Shore terms that’s the ghetto.
Chicago woman suffers miscarriage after she and husband attacked by teens in Streeterville
A husband and wife were attacked after going on a date in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood on Friday.
Take a wild guess as to who lives a couple blocks from here! And this isn't a one off incident. Weather gets warm and teens congregate at various spots in the city generally doing things like this when they outnumber someone. Just last week walking along the lake front a group was ahead of me and one of them cockked their arm back like they were gonna blindside punch someone walking by. Then they start laughing.
Disgusting. Find the parents and start charging them. And don’t vote for progressivesChicago woman suffers miscarriage after she and husband attacked by teens in Streeterville
