I can't imagine how bizarre it must be to have two Chicagos going on: one in which jackbooted thugs are oppressing ordinary people as part of a ruse, and the other one, with baseball, and brunch, and ordinary lives, unruffled.

Writing this brought me great pleasure. I grew up reading Mary Mitchell’s columns.

Legendary Sun-Times Columnist Mary Mitchell Is First Black Woman Honored On Billy Goat Wall The veteran journalist has joined the ranks of Mike Royko, Richard Roper and Roger Ebert by having her byline added to the wall of the famed Downtown tavern.

"In a two-paper town, Mitchell was the only Black woman with a daily column, reaching thousands of readers across the city. For decades, she used her platform to hold power to account while imploring all to be better neighbors."

Any of you have a mentor-mentee relationship go left?

If so, how did you handle it?

Back in 2020, I added my submissions to the Sun-Times' Chicago-pedia booklet.

I added the term "Get Little," meaning to leave somewhere suddenly.

Here's getting little in action:

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on β€˜how they look’ Immigration agents wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns made arrests in downtown Chicago and the River North neighborhood Sunday. β€œThis is not making anybody safer β€” it’s a show of intimidatio...

This reminds me of the film "The Siege," when a soldier told Denzel Washington's character he could have mistaken him for an Ethiopian.

Beloved former Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell joins the greats on the wall of the Billy Goat Tavern Her former news colleagues honored Mitchell at the installation of her portrait at Chicago journalists' unofficial hall of fame on Friday.

When I first started at the Sun-Times, Mary Mitchell told me, β€œit’s good that you’re here.”

Mary was always available to talk about things, and encourage staffers β€” especially Black reporters.

Congrats Mary!

Remember, some folks looking for decorum/respect regarding recent events are the rhetorical cousins with those who celebrated Harold Washington’s death.

Gang, folks treat history like a supermarket hot bar taking what you want, and leaving behind what you don’t like.

A few weeks ago, me and my kid were in the dry cleaners when she saw one of the employees working the sowing machine.

My kid mentions to them how my mom taught her how to sow by hand.

The worker asks my kid if she’d like her own sowing machine.

The federal government has made it a more difficult climate for orgs like ours to fundraise, so I really can’t express enough how grateful I am for your contributions.

Dolton, the Suburb Where Pope Leo XIV Grew Up, Celebrates His 70th Birthday A small crowd attended the festivities outside the modest brick house in the village of Dolton, where the former Robert Prevost grew up after he was born in 1955 in Chicago.

Dolton, the Chicago suburb where Pope Leo XIV grew up, marked his 70th birthday Sunday with gospel music and a balloon release outside his boyhood home.

β€œIt’s a good time for the community to come together,” said Village President Jason House.
