The [Monday] PapersLet's begin the arduous task of once again trying to catch up on the news. 1. Vice Squad. "Hyde Park's second brewery may arrive before the end of the year. Vice District Brewing Company co-owners State Rep. Curtis Tarver II (D-25th) and Quintin Cole plan to open in the South Side neighborhood by 2020, the Chicago Tribune reported." - via Eater Chicago Vice Brewing actually only gets a mention in the (worthwhile) Trib story, which is a broader look at "the unbearable whiteness of brewing." But I'm glad Eater flagged Vice because of Tarver's involvement. His flip-flop on rent control - and subsequent lying about it - was almost comical. It turns out Vice District was evicted from its original South Loop location, among other recent problems plaguing the operation. Click through to Eater for the delicious deets. 2. Pun Parade Is Back. I admit, when I first heard about the Cows on Parade in 1999, I rolled my eyes as hard as they could roll. When I actually saw them close up, on Michigan Avenue, my eyes were charmed out of their sockets. Well, they're back, so here you go: But please, everyone, no more cow puns. The cows are not on the moove and they're not udderly interesting. 3. Ghosts On The Highway. "The Illinois Department of Transportation, State Police and law enforcement agencies are teaming up to prevent alcohol- and drug-related crashes and fatalities through a ramped-up enforcement period that runs through July 8," AP reports. I'm not saying this isn't really happening, but every holiday weekend when I see these stories my mind flashes back to the state patrolman in another state who once told me they often make these announcements without adding extra patrol just to make motorists think there is extra patrol out there. Assignment Desk: Check it out! 4. Dare Force. "How dare this nation easily, quickly and totally dismiss the allegation of a respected media professional that she was raped by the man who sits in the Oval Office when far less substantiated accusations have been given limitless exposure on the center stage of American media," Vernon A. Williams writes for the Chicago Crusader. Go read it. I'll wait. 5. Chicago Just Discovered She's 'The Other Woman.' - New on the Beachwood . . .
