Oh cool. Here is was naively thinking my wedding on 7/7 wouldn’t be affected by this mess.

 

We lose access to Grant Park from basically the start of June through mid-August. By the time this wraps up, Lolla starts to move in.

This is Lori's parking meter deal, only bright side is that it's a short contract. I doubt it happens in 2024.

 

I already do because of the fireworks. My dog hates them so we head up into Wisconsin.

 

According to the official press release when the race was first announced the deal with nascar and the city was for 3 years. The race will take place over the same weekends in 2024 and 2025 with options to extend to 2026/27

Just the absolute worst. Glad she's gone soon.

Interesting

 

I'm gonna be a weirdo and ask if anyone knows of good toy/manga/comic shops to check out? I'm spending the whole day in the city and planned to hit up Graham Cracker first when I get in, but I'm down to travel wherever from there.

 

In the city for the day and going to the Cubs game, any recommendations for places to go for dinner near the stadium?

 

Luckys for sandwiches and happy camper for pizza are good options nearby

I’m at the indoor part of the Salt Shed for the first time tonight, and I have to say this place is freaking awesome. What the Empty Bottle/Thalia Hall team did to the space is very cool.
