I’m gathering string on the Dennis Hastert news, so no proper column today.
Also, this weekend’s Beachwood Radio Hour is already in post-production and it’s pretty great – our very own urban affairs expert Natasha Julius joined me to talk about the Riverwalk, the 606, the Lakefront Trail, the Lakeview Flyover, Riot Fest and Maggie Daley Park.
The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour is up – and it’s a doozy! Me and Jim “Coach” Coffman talk Tom Turkey and one of us actually defends Jerry Reinsdorf.
Plus: How The Pundits Get The Ray McDonald Story Wrong; The White Sox Are Boring And We’re Done With Them; The Cubs Are Still A Bit Clownish; and The Blackhawks Are Still Playing!
