Two Diamonds, Three Stars
“Sinead O’Connor has been found by police after being reported as missing on Sunday,” the Daily Mail notes.
“Authorities had said they believed O’Connor could be suicidal after it was reported she had not been seen since 6 a.m. on Sunday, when she decided to go for a bike ride in Wilmette, Illinois wearing leather pants, a sweatshirt and a black parka.
“The singer was found six miles from Wilmette in a run-down $84-a-night Best Western Hotel in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove on Monday morning.”
A run-down Best Western in Morton Grove?

“Guests in town for an event at Northwestern University or to visit the campus can get there easily from our comfortable Morton Grove hotel,” Best Western says.
“We’re located close to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and a short distance from the biggest area companies like Kraft Foods/Mondelez International. Public transportation including the Metra Rail or CTA ‘El’ Train-Yellow Line is also close by. Our great location with close proximity to Chicago and suburbs like Glenview, Niles, and Skokie, IL makes us a favorite for travelers.
“Guests enjoy the value at our hotel like free parking. Everything is all-inclusive, and our Morton Grove hotel is much more affordable than the city. We’re located in between two major expressways, I-94 and I-294, and are close to the Metra Rail Golf Stop. Just seven miles from O’Hare Airport, we offer the convenience of an airport hotel while still being just minutes from top attractions.
“Many guests choose our Morton Grove hotel when they’re in town for Lollapalooza, marathons, or the Taste of Chicago. Wrigley Field is a short drive away, where the Cubs games are held. The university often has special events and sporting tournaments happening. There are several other nearby colleges, universities, high schools and businesses as well, with easy public transportation to downtown Chicago and major attractions.”
