Chicago - A message from the station manager

The Weekend Desk Report

By Natasha Julius

Travel League
Do you suppose the parade route for these incredibly high-achieving kids will pass a single Level 1 public school? Or will Rahm just force them to travel north like usual?
Kid Tease
Or maybe the city will announce a parade and then cancel it when it’s too late to make other plans?
Vitale Signs
Of course, it’s pretty easy to avoid this kind of embarrassment. Just don’t let David Vitale plan the route.
Here’s Mud In The Eye Of The Beholder
Finally this week, eight liters a year? That’s what most White Sox fans drink just to get through a game.
