It seems just unnecessarily aggressive and it always happens over Ohio Street Beach.

What an awesome day today. Had the windows open all day, and the the 10 day forecast to the end of July looks incredible. The summer haters and weather doomers are nowhere to be found. This is so much better than 4pm sunset and polar vortex season!

Article Rescued belugas have arrived in Chicago. The move is unprecedented — and controversial -- Four belugas arrived here in the wee hours of Tuesday from a closed facility in Canada. Some animal advocates question whether the transfer violates Canadian law.

LSD IS A HIGHWAY. STOP PARKING THERE.
I’m waiting for the day we see someone get seriously hurt or worse because apparently parking on LSD is now a thing. Not only does it cause insane amount of traffic, there’s people walking around getting out of cars in the dark!!!

Boy howdy these are not thinking big and pretty underwhelming, imo. Capping the highways feels the closest to large ambition that would stand out to the world.

Ask CHI Backpack culture

0 Upvotes

I was downtown yesterday and saw a lot of people wearing backpacks, sometimes with an umbrella and a bottle of water. It seems like a good way to be a pedestrian explorer in the city. I am wondering what else people carry in their backpacks? Laptop, lunch, raincoat, sweater, ??? Obviously this is a personal decision and every persons choices will be different.

For pedestrian/transit travel through the city, what are good things to bring along in a backpack?

This is from my roof. Was taking a photo and I noticed it. Either that or it’s some vivid reflection. It looks like Dora the explorer from afar lol.
