2. That Air-Raid Siren At Soldier Field? It Will Be Back For Sunday’s Bears-Packers Game.
Can we also use it every time the feds visit Ed Burke’s office?
*
That would be the Best Air Raid Siren Ever.
Well, second best.
3. Tribune: 4 More Years To Finish The Jane Byrne? C’mon, IDOT.
That’s still fewer years than it’s taking for the Tribune to fix itself.
4. Buffalo Bill.
A parenthetical in this fine Curtis Black piece about the recent mayoral housing forum: “Bill Daley doesn’t seem to be attending any community forums.”
Well, not in Chicago.
5. Bruce Rauner Considered Not Running For Re-election, Tried To Recruit Other Candidates.
Gritty, Ditka, Corgan, Urlacher, Willie Wilson and John Kass all said no.
6. Was Gentrification Around The 606 Inevitable?
Inevitable? That was the whole point.
7. Victory Fund Endorses Only Openly Gay Candidate For Mayor Of Chicago.
Is the Sun-Times implying there are not-openly gay candidates for mayor?
8. Never Trust Someone Who Calls Themself A Doctor When They Don’t Have A Medical Degree.
