Envelope with a hotline and resources printed on it with a whistle inside

Ok, so I have a mountain of these to give away. Double-sided printed envelope with a whistle inside (though may not be that exact whistle). Can be picked up in Logan Square or I can deliver if you need a large amount.

Saw that & Boxing Helena same day

A photo of a slim front door to an International style modernist house clad in various styles of wood, stone, and full height glass, with an arched metal walkway covering the path of approach. Small trimmed hedges line the door.

Inside the home, much of the floorspace is taken up by a huge central atrium with red-brown square tile floors, wood paneling, and several skylights arranged above and to the sides of a raised central roof section. The room is clearly Japanese-inspired, with a sunken lounge area on one side, some fabric screen walls, and several set-aside areas for sun-dappled indoor plants.

A carpeted sitting room at the rear of the house features one wall of full-height windows, with furnishings arranged looking out those windows towards a grassy backyard and Lake Michigan beyond it.

Also along the rear of the house with windows and a door leading to the backyard, there's an office that may have possibly once been a library or bedroom, with the red-brown tile floors from the atrium and an elaborate midcentury built-in system of open wooden bookshelves and drawers.

The Dr. Robert Hohf House, a particularly notable Keck & Keck commission on Lake Michigan that was Kenilworth's first modernist home upon completion in 1957, is for sale after nearly 70 years in the hands of the original family. www.redfin.com/IL/Kenilwort...

Your annual reminder that US streets and vehicles are generally not designed to keep pedestrians, especially small ones, safe.

So wonderful Halloween is the most likely day you’ll kill a child with your car, and someone will kill a child you care about with theirs.

A very evangelical shoe repair window with some cool neon and lots of Jesus-related signage

Tronto, apparently. The Canadian Miwaukee.

A line of four pumpkins sitting on the ledge of a porch, each carved with one six-pointed star like the ones on the Chicago city flag.

Sol: You are a bad-boy yardie, and bad-boy yardies are supposed to know how to get rid of bodies. Bad Boy Lincoln: I create the bodies. I don't erase the bodies.

Our little group of bar regulars and random guys will wind up supplying nearly 14,000 whistles to Chicago during the month of October.

Cider at least makes plausible sense. But pretzel chips being over there as well?

Photo of an ice cream bar wrapper from Pretty Cool ice cream in Logan Square. The bar flavor is Danish licorice ice cream in a salted chocolate shell.

Btw, if you haven't had this Pretty Cool Halloween flavor yet, you're missing out.

The building's original colors were intended to resemble those of the American flag,[62] with pale or pastel red, white and blue on finishes and exposed girders.

Pretty sure it was basically pastel red & blue, with white completing the trilogy. Not supposed to be orange or have anything to do with U of I.

I wish he had just worked on AI instead of letting Spielberg ruin it.

Almost like someone bet him he couldn't film a shot with a billion Christmas lights on a wall.

It was all about the lighting of the shots on the stairs at the holiday party. That + he wanted to film an orgy, I guess.

Also, NOTHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS in Eyes Wide Shut. Every event is kicked off by someone THINKING someone did something, and no one actually does anything other than walk around.
