Don't get a flat tire on the weekends anymore:
  • In the latest of a series of dumb moves that compromise the safety of cops and citizens, the Department is closing all maintenance garages on weekends. So if you get a flat tire or crack a windshield, the vehicle will remain un-serviceable and unrepaired for the entire weekend.

Posted by [email protected] on Comments comments (0)

Chicago has the universities, the international airport and the talent pool that Amazon needs for its second headquarters, says real estate tycoon Sam Zell, but he thinks the tech juggernaut would be wise to pass up the troubled city. 

“On a pure competitive basis, Chicago is far and away the No. 1 place that Amazon should pick for their second headquarters—major international airport, major universities, talent, etc.—and yet if I were Amazon, that’d be th...

If that’s true, it could just be the White Sox and any Mystery Teams left in the race, and it kinda seems like the White Sox are now trying to close the deal:
