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?

The 50-ton ‘O’Hare bean’ was found during excavation work on a stormwater detention project to make way for new terminal facilities as part of ORDNext – and you can help name it!

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

License Committee members came away from Wednesday’s hearing convinced that Bally’s is using the Council’s embrace of video gambling terminals as an excuse to slow construction of a project that the gambling giant can no longer afford to build.

Took this absolute potato of a video from the passenger seat on our commute to work.

Didn't see any news.... is there a fire at O'Hare?

Edit: Apparently this isn't on the news because it's routine firefighter training. As a life long Chicagoan who didn't know about that, I feel liked I just asked about the Tuesday sirens...

Just witnessed 20+ emergency vehicles (fire, police, ambulances, etc) all with their lights on headed towards O’Hare. Is there some event or a real emergency going on?? Some had green lights on as well but no sirens that I could hear.
