Chicago Location • Page 105

Sirens went off here in Lombard but the actual storm stayed north of us. Just a little thunder and rain.

 

seems like the worst of it is now on the south side

 

Reporting live from Hollywood Beach. Calm seas, rad clouds.

 

If anyone else had getting super stoned and seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey on 70mm at the Music Box on their Bucket List, now's your time! haha

You are being redirected...

 

Saw this at Music Box in 2017 or 2018 and it was awesome. I think they seek out different versions so it’s not them recycling the same 70mm version each time. At least that’s what I was told. Def worth it and they do an intermission for bathroom and drinks.

 

Will probably need an intermission just to bring myself down to earth, both from the space visuals and the amount of marijuana I am planning to consume.

 

No more Noon Whistle for me.

 

That sucks. Their Lombard place isn't far from my house and I wanted to try it.

 

Sooooo did everyone vote today?

I work for the Chicago Board of Elections and I’ve been working 18 hours straight and I’m still on the clock

 

Voted by mail for the first time. I love the ritual of going to the polling place but it was super convenient to get it out of the way a couple weeks ago at the same time as I did all my research.

 

Got my vote by mail ballot. Forgot to fill it out. Ended up filling it out and dropping off yesterday.

Did that the last few years, way prefer by mail then in person. Although usually my Ward doesn't have a long line, it's still nice to just drop it off.

 

What are the odds Bailey beats Pritzker? This year is going to a be a bloodbath for Dems

 

Not sure. I haven't been following the GOP primary closely and Bailey wasn't on my radar at all. I see tons of Rabine signs around here so I just assumed he was the frontrunner. Seems like Pritzker and the Dems think Bailey is the easiest candidate to beat. There hasn't been a serious downstate contender in the time I've been paying attention to IL politics, so that Chicago vs the rest of the state dynamic will be interesting. He at one point called for Chicago to be removed from Illinois and become its own state. I'm guessing it comes down to whether Bailey is too conservative for the suburbs, but who knows.

 

no way pritzker loses. he'll get chicago plus enough centrists and libs from the collar counties

 

Yeah, I think Pritzker is safe.

 

Not saying I think Pritzker loses, but it'd be very on brand for the Dems push for an opponent they think is "too conservative" only to shit all over themselves in the general election.

 

I imagine JB is safe but if gas is over $6 anything is possible

 

Glad to see a bunch of actual humans win primaries last night, too.

 

Yeena Yoo, who I met a few weeks ago and really, really liked, won her DuPage County Board primary, so I'm excited about that.

 

Re: Bailey

 

Shot in the dark but if anyone wants tickets to Halsey tomorrow I have two lawn seats that I’ll send over for free

 

shooting at the highland park parade

fuck

was walking around downtown highland park not even 48 hours ago

 

God dammit. Fuck this.

 

My uncles's family lived in Deerfield up until 2 years ago and we went with them to the parade in HP a few times and that is not an area I would expect mass shooting to happen in.
