Doofus thinks you need to have a voter ID to pick up a 6 pack of beer...
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
Birders report seeing huge flocks of blackbirds flying up the Chicago lakefront today — 5,000 or more.
Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.
Your second question was the one I was about to ask.
Seems less than ideal.
When the commander in chief decrees that the Dow is 50,000, then it will be 50,000.
Oh, right.
Photos of 12 ghost signs painted on brick buildings in Chicago. From top left, l to r: Wizard Oil, Kroll Krib, Val Blatz, Gold Medal Flour, Climax Plug Tobacco, Grocery and Market, Fox Deluxe Beer, Furniture, Gossard Corsets, King Beer, Debbie's School of Beauty Culture, Stern Clothing
A ghost sign collage from a while ago. Not sure how many of these still exist. All in Chicago (I think).
This is an actual Pentagon press release. “An Army believed to be casualty…the believed to be death”
Three attached 1.5-story brick cottages with gable roofs. The one at right has light brown brick, a dilapidated front porch, and boarded up windows and door. The center house is yellow brick with a small front porch. Both of these have a diamond pattern of lighter brick on each side of the second floor window. The one at left has been "fixed up," i.e, ruined, by covering it with large black squares of unknown material separated by thin white lines. The original double window in the gable has been replaced by a smaller one with no interesting features. To the right of the entrance is a closed-in section fitted with dark windows with black trim. It looks like crap.
The same three cottages a few years ago. The two at center and right are the same as in the previous photo. The one at left is pinkish brick with the entrance on the left and the closed-in section fitted nice multi-paned white-trimmed windows with transoms. On the second floor is the same diamond pattern that is on its two neighbors.
It doesn't take much to set me off these days so this has me fuming. Look at what they did to this c. 1890 cottage at 5168 S. Wabash! 🤬😱🤯
I want Sanborn map X-ray spex.
Screengrab of a Sanborn fire map from 1950 showing 238-36 as they ever were, then 234, which now sports an addition in front, and 232-30, which is now two storefronts in front of a space that used to house two three story buildings.
And here we are in 1950, with a revision of the 1917 fire map to cover the now missing buildings in back. Literally. If you look closely, you can still see them underneath the new sheet carefully pasted on top.
If you zoom out a bit, you can see that our little store is growing out of the front of another building. The ladies in back, built in 1892, have Seen Some Things. They originally had a permit sister & a friend sitting at 232 & 230 (originally 211 & 209), but these were knocked down in the late '30s
Breaking news: The Army abruptly canceled a major training exercise, officials said, fueling speculation within the Defense Department that soldiers specializing in ground combat and a range of other missions may be sent to the Middle East.
The band is donating its share of the proceeds to Letters Charity a nonprofit organization using Art "as a conduit to transform passive compassion into immediate assistance through the distribution of money given, without expectation or judgment, directly to families experiencing poverty."

Lovely rainy day in Bughouse Square, Chicago.
The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.
Yeah, that's a survivor! There are some very early records of a saloon near the Rosehill entrance, but they're vague about the precise location.
Wanna bet?
woah
That will explain it.
Ellison style.
Bring these back now
A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.
Wider shot outside the L station. A few men are standing there, but another man is on the side, wearing a "Kiss me I'm Polish" apron (he does not look Polish), a chef's hat with both a Cubs bumper sticker and a Mondale/Ferraro bumper sticker on it. A sandwich board against a support beam is labeled "Operation Don Quixote" saying below it "I will feed the world now." At the bottom is a board with a bunch of newspaper cutouts, one clearly labeled "Mondale/Ferraro"
I wanna know more about the sandwich board guy with the Mondale/Ferraro hat. He's all over that sequence.
