At least hoarding/prepping cured all those people of gluten intolerance.

I hate quinoa. It’s over rated at a minimum. That is all

Drug and gun filled party at a AirBnB house party? In Lakeview? Again? Shocking.

Pickled ramp bulbs and ramp leaf pesto with pecans, parmesan and beef garum. It’s still spring. Enjoy the little things.

On the list of things that I can now bear witness to but never expected to see: A sous chef on the corner of Calhoun and King whose sign reads “I’m a sous chef and need your help.” 1/2

Q. Landlord, Are rents set to cover expenses or do you ask for the area's market rate regardless of expenses? A. Rents are close to what the market allows because I am in this business for the profit. I’d never invest money only to have expenses covered. Support Rent Control!

JUST IN: 93-year-old Olive Veronesi of Seminole, PA, who held up a sign at her window asking for more beer, has received a delivery from @CoorsLight. The brand tells me 150 cans arrived at her house today.

A landlord in Evanston called a tenants parole officer because he didn't pay full rent. That's right. A landlord tried to get her tenant LOCKED UP for not paying the full rent (even though she knows it's because their hours were reduced due to Covid-19). Just pure vile.

Replying to @mayorlightfoot @chicagosmayor
Should I my my tent now, or will the city provide me one when I'm homeless? And when will restaurant dumpsters be full again, so the new 1000000 homeless in Chicago can eat? Also, will you open up the lakefront so we can get some water?

Why is it that landlords think that they can shut down amenities, quit providing security and not have any manager on site due to Covid and not have to reduce the rent?

.@chicagosmayor is on TV right now once again telling landlords to “show grace” and work with tenants on rent issues. You wouldn’t need anyone’s grace if you freeze rents or create a rental assistance program that actually has the resources Chicago needs. (1/2)

I'd like "influencers", "foodies" and "bloggers" to really carefully consider your " helpful" marketing suggestions and requests from restaurants right now. Like for real.
