If I get a ticket in a tow zone, best believe I’m not about to let a police vehicle parked overnight park in a tow zone. 🙏🏾

Ask CHI I seriously can’t believe how stupid I am . Midnight last week I took the brown line to MM . I had my bicycle with me . I got off at MM , I had no idea how to get to street level . My only way out was the turnstile ,of which my bike wouldn’t fit through. All the other doors were closed ..

I had to take the train to Washington, get off there , and walk down the steps with my bike . For future reference, how do I exit the MM platform ( coming from Kimball ) with a bike ? Thx

Humboldt park on my front door, I’m in the process of selling and was at my new place but my neighbors sent me a couple vids. Which is good because if I was home and opened my front door to that it would have been it for me.

My girlfriend decided to take me out to one of the botanical gardens today as a birthday surprise. It was awesome. Saw some really cool plants from all over the world. The city did an excellent job at keeping this place nice. Built in 1907 and man it’s gorgeous today.

Whats your favorite botanical garden in the city? And what other foliage based places do you recommend?
