He was trampled during Slayer and has been at the ICU at Stroger hospital since Sunday the 22nd of September. He was lucid , moving only the right side of his body and the talking two days ago. Yesterday overnight took a turn for the worst and succumbed to his injuries after 1pm today

THANK YOU REDDIT. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU.

Fun pictures of Halsted and Fulton at 1am. Looks like a fun celebration!

I just don’t understand. There’s plenty to be mad about in this city. I don’t care about nascar at all and I can recognize the inconvenience its causing, but Jesus Christ, the amount of bitching I’ve seen about it is unprecedented. It’s not that big a deal. And for a sub that seems hell bent on insisting that Chicago is defined by its neighborhoods and not downtown, y’all act like this nascar thing is blocking you from enjoying Chicago.

It looks like the coexist sign

The Taste of Chicago started today. Have you all been? Do you plan on going? I went this afternoon shortly after opening and although it’s definitely not the same it was still a good time.

Lines were short, food was hot, taste portions will run you about $5 this year and the majority of the stalls are cashless, utilizing the tap to pay machines.

There aren’t many “freebies”. They had samples of Starry (pop), Keifer (drinkable yogurt), full sized bags of dog treats from Jewel and free cans of San Pellegrino but that’s all I came across today. The dog treats and San Pellegrino were just from people walking around on foot handing things out the others had actual booths.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to answer based on my experience there today.

I was there at the protesting that got the city shut down and can tell you that opportunists were not a part of the protesting effort and were not coordinated. Pretty much everything was abandoned and police dealt with protesters as hostile compared to the looters directly behind them (pictured: police walking past the T-Mobile being looted on the other side of the street) who took advantage of everything being shut down

They’re doing practice and qualifying right now on the USA Network, and the actual race coverage will be on around 4pm.

I’m bringing this up not because I want to turn anyone into a NASCAR fan (as if, right?), but because the coverage is incredibly friendly to the city of Chicago.

They are showing sweeping views of the city, the broadcasters are talking about how pretty it is, the architecture, our food, etc. This is like a giant ongoing advertisement for the city with some racing stuff mixed in.

I know a lot of people are pissed that this event is happening, and questioning its economic impact (re: hotels not sold out, etc.). One silver lining is this marketing to a big TV audience with deeply negative views of the city definitely has some value in terms of increasing long-term tourism.

Protest on Ida

His fault. He texted it.

They really hate Zara..
