Chicago - A message from the station manager

The [Thursday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

Programming Note: Working on some Homan Square coverage and a few other things. Not sure when I’ll be done – this afternoon, tonight or tomorrow. A bunch of things happening at once.
But some really great stuff elsewhere on the site:


* I Might Be On TV Tonight!
If so, I’m sure my hair will be stoopid.
I was interviewed on-camera for this, though I don’t know if I made the final cut.
* Lil Herb On Chicago Violence.
Says access to guns is too easy.
–
Also, Talib Kweli says violence is the symptom, poverty is the cause.
–
Also:


–
* Junior Lake, We Miss You Already.
We here at the Beachwood loved Junior Lake; he provided multiple moments of happiness and made our lives better because of it. I take a look.
–
* ICMYI: The Beachwood Radio Hour #64.
I don’t wanna go to school; I just wanna break the rules.
Plus: A Subway Story; Are Those Articles In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?; Newspaper Stories: The Car Wash; Paid Influencer Opp!; Obama Caves On Human Trafficking; Pope Theo; Blackhawks Bullshit, and; Chicago’s Opening Ceremonies.
Tease:

* Think University Administrators’ Salaries Are High? Critics Say Their Benefits Are Lavish.
Related, from Tim Willette:
“Today I looked up the tuition at my alma mater. It’s up 400% from when I graduated 20 years ago. U.S. inflation rate over same time frame: 161%.”
* Why These Parents Chose A Neighborhood School Over A Charter.
Also: Neighborhood schools build community. They’re good for all of us.
* Booting Cars In Private Lots Now Legal In More Than Half Of Chicago.
“The owner of a parking management company took the unusual step of personally introducing the legislation to City Council.”
* Media Outlets Debate Whether Increased Access To Kochs Is Worth All The Strings Attached.
No strings, people. Or you cease to be a journalist.
* How The Media At Its Grandest Heights Thinks.
Is this really the best we can do?
