When I bought a new washer-dryer a year ago (for the first time ever) I opted out of their “connected”features. If that isn’t an option with every such appliance, it ought to be.

Bovino is wholly unwelcome in Chicago

Rahm Emanuel should reconsider.

And nothing says "Welcome Holiday Shoppers" like armed troops patrolling Michigan Avenue.
