Chicago

This sounds like a good idea after the high profile whole foods Englewood closure. There have been other abrupt closures in recent years as well like food 4 less in back of the yards.

I checked some of the schedules and they seem much worse than they used to be. Every 12 minutes is fine for maybe the Yellow Line or another suburban route, but it seems that most lines are operating far less frequently, especially important lines like the Brown Line. The Green Line is down to a pitiful 24 minutes on its branches in South Chicago. What happened to make the frequencies so bad?

About Us:

Founded in 2011, The Urban Canopy is pioneering the local food cycle to create a more sustainable and equitable food system in Chicago. We are growers, distributors, composters and community members who seek to positively impact our city’s environment, people’s health, and local economy. We strive to make healthy produce accessible to all, reduce the miles fresh food travels, keep food waste out of landfills, and create and maintain local jobs.

To achieve this, we structure our business into seven Branches: Compost Club, Indoor Farm, Outdoor Farm, Local Unified CSA (LUCSA), Farmers Markets, non-local Distribution and Processing. These branches each work in their own way to change the way our food is grown, distributed, and wasted.

CTAction noted that the agency boasted of improvements to the the percentage of scheduled rail and bus run delivered, but failed to mention this was due to scheduled service being cut by 21 and 13 percent, respectively. "The total number of trains dispatched per day has not increased at all since August of 2022. The CTA continues to call this "schedule optimization," insulting the intelligence of riders who know that service has been cut."

Maybe a difference of five or even 10 miles per hour might not sound like a lot to someone, but when you look at the data, it makes a significant difference in the likelihood of injuries and fatalities...

MBJ, we're being killed. Lower the speed limit in Chicago.

I recently went to the Bird's Nest on Altgeld on a rec that they had the best wings in Chicago. Now, I'm no wings connoisseur, but they were pretty great. However, wings are not something I usually order. Anyone else been there for wings, and can you confirm or deny if these are in fact the shit?

The last FIVE times I've ordered a tuna salad sandwich at a diner, it's been just tuna, not tuna salad. This is very upsetting, and for the sake of preveserving my marriage I'm not able to just make tuna salad at home. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Places I know I can't get one:

• Margie's Candies

• Bridgeport Coffeehouse

• Moon's Sandwich Shop (Western & Madison)

Please. It's been so long.

Libraries in Morton Grove, Park Ridge, Gurnee and Wilmette have reported receiving threats with the Glencoe Public Library closing its doors citing a building emergency.

In 2008, queer anarchists gathered in Chicago to plot a disruption of the electoral spectacle and cohere a network out of emergent youth crews in multiple cities. Fifteen years later, the proposals put forward then — criminality, autonomous self-defense, riots, and orgies — are needed more than ever. The intervening years have been marked by intensification — of crisis, alienation, loss, and struggle. The right wing no longer hides behind euphemisms: they want to exterminate trans and queer people. The left offers only false solutions: vote, donate, assimilate. A decade of representation, symbolic legal victories, social media activism, and mass-market saturation has left us worse off by all metrics. Our fairweather friends won’t save us from the consequences of their strategy of empty visibility. The inescapable conclusion is that we must come together to protect ourselves.

History confirms the queer legacy of building connection in a world that hates us, the legacy of riotous joy—the legacy of bashing back. The attacks will continue on our nightclubs, forests, story hours, and siblings. To hold on, we need spaces—underground if necessary—to re-encounter each other, spaces to remember, build, share, and conspire.

In this spirit, we are ecstatic to announce the return of the Bash Back convergence! Fifteen years from the original gathering, Chicago will host the 2023 convergence September 8–11. Comrades, old and new, are invited to discuss what’s still vital in the past and what’s needed in the present. In keeping with tradition, the convergence will include presentations, workshops, distros, parties, and other opportunities to make trouble.

It bothers me as I feel she was fired do to her doing her job and sticking to her guns on what the correct thing to do given the data. FYI im on kbin and my notifications page is not working so I may not respond so well.

Oklahoma native, our cold weather pales in comparison to Chicago - there's a concert in early February right outside of O'Hare that I am headed towards. Most Chicago tourist guides I've encountered online simply don't advise to visit but my hands are tied.

What local things would you recommend to an outsider braving the outside? Any tips on staying warm?
