Good Morning

The implication that Chicago isn’t in the heartland is bugging me

Andersonville is my biggest op

Father’s Day and all I got was sunburn and paternal life advice

I’m not usually a fan of the 3 button suit jacket that were popular in the 90’s/early 2000’s. But seeing them paired with a waistcoat in old catalogues from the 20’s they really work

Catalpas are in bloom. I wish they lasted just a bit longer

This building pisses me tf everytime I see it because it occupies the site of the now demolished Garrick Theatre

The former St. Stephen’s church (originally 10th Church of Christ, Scientist) at 57th and Blackstone, as seen by me in 2010.

1944, Trianon Ballroom, looking north on Cottage Grove. Harry James was at the peak of his popularity. Note the sailor on left; the clubs in Woodlawn around the ballroom were off-limits to servicemen. #woodlawn

That’s quite obviously not a pig

Contingent, but another wild south shore pre-war unit trades. 1.4K square feet 2 bed/2 bath for $135K. Overlooking Jackson park. Gotta chuckle at how much you can get for your money in this city sometimes. www.realtor.com/realestatean...

Excellent read. We really only have two options. Either consolidate some of these schools. Or the city gets serious about population growth at all costs. Go big on mixed use family oriented housing in these neighborhoods. www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025...

Is it over or is it so over?

I don't really get what's happening if I'm being honest

You know...

I might be dumb, I might simply be ignorant, but you know what I’m not? Stressed. Lesson there

I'm over summer fall wya

This is what it feels like having something mean to say but not being able to say it because people will get mad

Oh this will end well

I support the CHICAGO RED movement because they’re largely grifting money from right wing suburbanites

Would you tell the great great great X Grandchild of Catherine O’Leary they weren’t from Chicago if their parents moved from Back of the Yards to Burbank

The real reason I went on a bike ride tonight: this unassuming storefront at 1021 W Argyle, which briefly housed a bookstore owned by an escaped German POW trying to restart his life in America 🧵
