The [Monday] Papers"Chicago blues will soon have a downtown museum dedicated to telling its story. The Chicago Blues Experience, a privately run, 50,000-square-foot facility, is slated to open in spring 2019 near Millennium Park," Crain's reports. Not to be too obvious, but shouldn't the museum be in, oh, say, Bronzeville, where it might spur some economic development in a neighborhood that needs it, not to mention closer to its roots - perhaps a walking tour could be included. Nobody ever learns, the city suffers, and people scratch their heads at the seemingly unsolvable problems we have that are eminently solvable. Or am I missing something? Don't Need A Weatherman "It just keeps getting better and better!" exclaimed Steve Baskerville of CBS Chicago. So WBEZ asked six local meteorologists if they were talking about climate change on the air, and if not, why not. What an excellent idea! Sadly, only one meteorologist - Skilling - cooperated. Of the other five, "Two of them declined to talk about the politically-charged issue on-the-record, and three more ignored our calls and e-mails." My only complaint is that WBEZ didn't name those five. I can't for the life of me understand why you wouldn't hold them to account the way we do other, non-media public figures. But click through and read what Skilling said - I'm certain you'll find it instructive in several ways. - Call Out For The Cub Factor - Call Out For LTR - From the Beachwood Sports Desk . . .
