That's a bummer, but not super surprising since it was sold. I was just reading about the former owner opening a new venue in Forest Park.

 

Do you know where in Forest Park. There was a cool venue on Berwyn that closed during COVID, that's the only thing I know about in that area.

 

I believe it’s this one: https://robertswestside.com/

Wire was the one in Berwyn that closed. Cool room. Looks like it’s open again as Distro Music Hall: https://distromusichall.com/

 

Yeah, Wire is the one I was referencing. Last timeI spoke to Chris from When We Was Kids he told me the place closed down. That was like 3-4 months ago. He used to work there.

That Forest Park venue is in a pretty good location, I hope they bring in some good bands. It's always great when I don't have to go to the city for shows. I went to Spitalfield on Friday in Naperville, took me a bit over 30 minutes but it was much better than driving to the city, even when it takes 20-25 minutes.

That's also why I love the WC Social Club so much. Such a quiet area.

 

Went to Second City last night with my wife and in-laws. Slash sat behind us!

 

Take me down to the Second City where’s there’s comedy and the drinks are pricey.

Anyone who’s working or has to drive anywhere today stay safe. Snow is already really bad across the entire area. I already have 3 inches where I live. Just north of sugar grove already has 6 inches

 

I was supposed to fly from O'Hare in an hour... Flight got cancelled last night and I managed to get another one leaving around 7PM. Woke up to see it was delayed to 9PM. We'll see how long that sticks.

 

I was supposed to go to Dallas yesterday and back today. Moved that shit so fast when I saw the forecast, was not getting stuck down there all weekend.

Well we've ruined the Rat Hole

 

This rat hole thing stopped being funny/cool after like 3 days. People need to move on.

 

Real 2011 internet imo.

Anyone know good mental health resources around the city? The Local i work for is trying to put together a push on mental health issues for our members, and I’d like to see if there’s something around here before jumping to national groups

 

Aside from this very website, no.

I know of them because they typically have a presence at events like Riot Fest and Lolla.

 

Are you looking for a list of organizations to reach out to or materials to push out? If it's the former, NAMI Chicago has a good list of local oriented contacts on their website:

Resources — NAMI Chicago

Each website likely has some specific resources for their individual topic areas. I don't know how it works on the union side of things (assuming that's what you mean by local) and it's different if you're in a small business, but every HR department I've ever worked for has a list of resources available through our website. If your org also has an Employee Assistance Program, I'd also emphasize that since they usually have the ability to connect with specific needs ranging from legal assistance to finding a therapist.

 

Yep, i work for a union! And thanks, I’m going to send this link out. We have an EAP and some of our members use it but a survey we did awhile back showed people were more likely to use services not connected to the Union or their Employer, over perceived privacy concerns. So wanted to father a
