In fairness, lemme guess the screen was >85" and the sound system better than typical home type. Probably more seating too.

The Chicago History Museum is across the street. Lots of history there, good and bad. I suspect these times will fit in the bad category.

Can we have a "moron" emoji on Bluesky? I know a few places where I'd use it, starting in 3..2..1...

Trump completes demolition of the White House's East Wing Trump's blitzkrieg on the East Wing happened without as much as a hint of public review, due process or even consideration for the White House's historic status.

Today's architecture column. "Making matters worse: Trump’s blitzkrieg on the East Wing happened without as much as a hint of public review, due process or consideration for the White House’s historic status."

The 34x convicted felon is the one who should be in jail.

Good. Now on to the shoulder parkers at O'Hare with cell lot within a short distance.

If you have any audio of the organ playing at the Stadium, it will for sure wake the cat from its slumber - and perhaps the neighbors as well.

We lived at 2415 S. St Louis in the 50s while I was still in grammar school at Blessed Agnes, at 27th and Central Park. Interesting and tragic story at the corner.

Wonder if he would do a house call at the White House?

This is NOT good news! Can only hope things return to normal once the dust settles.

I don't see this on my Win10 (Home) Surface fully up to date. I'm a Win365 customer and back up to One Drive. I'm in Chicagoland if that matters. Stages rollout?

Did you ever have a Green River? You can thank Schoenhofen for that as well as their beer.

Just watched their Smog doc yesterday. What a shame we have a POTUS who cares little about such things, but the White House is now adorned with gold, ala Louis XIV. 😰

Walked (mostly) to and from dinner at RJ Grunts just yesterday. Noticed families out and about with kids and dogs on a great Chicago weather day. We don't need troops patrolling the streets. Oh and I gave a walking tour for the Chicago History Museum too. All on the tour survived!

@madopal.bsky.social asking you, with thanks, to send me the link to the map site you did when Chicago in Maps went bye-bye a few weeks ago.

I posted about Dennis's site on the Chicago sub on reddit. For reasons unknown to me, it was removed. I sent a note to moderators and a week or so later they said try again, so I did. We'll see. Dennis was a frequent contributor to the Chicago sub.

I posted this (and suggestions on how to save it) on the Chicago reddit sub and a bot locked it within a few seconds. I asked the moderators why and have yet to receive an answer. Dennis was a frequent user of this sub over the years. Confused as to why the lock.

Any idea on how much this costs? I'm not familiar with this stuff but was a frequent user of Dennis's site.

I'm not familiar with the nuts and bolts of taking over a website. Surely this can be done and yes I know about Wayback but might that go bye-bye someday too?

Newberry map folks wrote back - they can't take over maintaining Dennis McLendon's Chicago in Maps site.
