The [Friday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

Boy, this thing really knocked me on my butt this week. I was so excited to get back from holiday-mode too and start kicking ass again. I can at least say I'm on the recovery curve but the Papers won't return until Monday. The Beachwood podcast studio is revving up, though; we won't miss a beat in that department over the weekend.

Meanwhile:

* Beachwood Photo Booth: Svengoolie.

* Winter Won't Stop The Dane County Farmers' Market.

* ProPublica 'Temp Land' Investigation Nails Little Village Currency Exchange.

* The Week In Chicago Rock will not appear this week. I only found one decent show so I'll just fold that into The Weekend In Chicago Rock on Monday.

* @BeachwoodReport. A lot of folks seemed to appreciate my series of tweets reacting to Rahm's education speech yesterday, so give the ol' feed a look-see. You can see my strength returning!

BeachBook
* Police: Men Filled Box Truck With Subsidized Light Bulbs From Maine To Sell In Chicago At A Profit.

Here's a photo of the suspects.

* U.S. Drone War: 2014 In Numbers.

The Beachwood Tip Line: Now with safety lock.
