Documenting Chicago’s official Christmas Tree arrival from 15 floors up at my dentist’s office with some additional closeup action from the street. 🦷 Chicago Style Smiles 🏗️ La Grange Crane Equipment. 🌲 Donated by the Clark family from Campton Hills, IL – at Chicago, IL
Anyone else remember this from the Sunday Tribune? It used to run every fall. I saved this copy in the ’90s, and I still bring it out every November. 🍂 #ChicagoTribune. Not sure if it’s pc but brings back amazing memories.

This home invader raped a woman at gunpoint around 10:30 Friday morning.
Then the victim waited hours for Chicago police to respond because there weren’t any cops to handle the assignment.
NINE 911 calls were made.

This is a formal request for Susie Wiles and James Blair to stop harassing me with texts and calls.
If there is a factual inaccuracy in what I said, send it to me in writing and I will vigorously correct and apologize for any misstatements. I will note that everything I said is substantiated by other senior officials.
If you want to file a lawsuit and get into discovery of whether it’s provably true that Ballard and Continental had an undue influence on the White House policy process, do it.
I believe we are in an existential moment for the country, and Americans were owed an honest accounting of the past two years so we identify the problems we need to move on from.

I’ve been checked out of politics because I remember what we all went through from the 2016-2024 to get the current admin to where they are today.
Average Americans were beaten in the streets, had their businesses targeted, were jailed, censored, fired and attacked all for wearing a MAGA hat and supporting America first policy.
People died to get Trump elected and every single weak-willed Republican took everything we did and spat it back in our faces.
Now the average young voter can’t afford a home and every time we hear a politician talking about the welfare system it’s young law-abiding Americans who are portrayed as the people mooching off the system.
It’s exhausting and it’s why so many young people have tuned out of politics. We showed up, we fought, and the Republicans in turn told us they couldn’t pass the SAVE Act and laughed at us when we said there was an affordability crisis.
After Texas and Michigan- Actually Illinois is looking almost normal with JB as governor. Lol😹😹😝

Molly’s Cupcakes in Lincoln Park, Chicago got hit for the fifth time in 20 years.
Last night a crew in a white vehicle smashed into at least 13 businesses along Clark Street around 4 a.m. They yanked cash registers and busted windows and doors with crowbars and sledgehammers before driving off.
No one is in custody.
Ald. Timmy Knudsen called it senseless and said CPD is running special attention and burglary missions. Same line he uses for car thefts and armed robberies.
At least Molly’s still has a sense of humor: “I guess they really wanted some cupcakes!!”
How are these small retailers supposed to survive?
