This is one of the most painful Videos I have viewed. My wish for every ICE and CPD agent is for them to call their own mother and for them to tell her everything they did today. Then for the agent to follow her advice.

How does federal ownership overrule local zoning. I do not think that is how it works. Just defies common sense. Also local building codes would apply. Also defies decency.

OW not too shabby a follow either. Illinois residents need to know what Indiana is going to tax their residents to "get the Bears" Trumps' Foxconn deal left local Wisconsin residents on the hook for that so called deal. 35 years of impoverishing schools of tax revenues will doom NW Indiana.

I read this piece this morning before breakfast. Moving and clear. As we eventually learn our parents made us who we are and yet we never feel whole without them. It is really ok to grieve ones parents for a lifetime.

The lack of a neighborhood around SF is a fan experience challenge. The Park District should lease Octoberfest style tents around the stadium. This would capture fans who cannot get tailgate access and keep fans coming early and staying late and generate revenue. Maybe also keep the Bears in SF.

Michigans current Governor won on a platform of fix the damn highways. The next mayor could win on a platform of fix the damn sidewalks. The sidewalks are public property. In Skokie there is no cost to the owner and they fix takes less than 2 days.

Neighbors and friends have to pour into the street and divert the process. Whistles and car horns. Demand a judicial warrant. It is also apparent that they entered private property and therefor local police have a basis for intervening. OTH I recognize neighbors and friends put themselves at risk.
