Shouts to my mom and my grandfather for teaching me everything I know for photography

[Rachel Hinton @rrhinton]

The driver shortage that slowed hold deliveries this spring created another issue for neighborhood branches: returned books and other materials were left to pile up as the system focuses on recovering. More here: https://t.co/jECj8wpcP7

@LynnBecker I interviewed Tem Horwitz behind the Clybourn mall and apartment redevelopments along that stretch for a documentary I made a few years ago. This might be a good time for me to revisit that and/or finally publish it

My latest for @BlockClubCHI , in which a 12yo Rogers Park resident refers to Nicole Kidman as “the AMC lady.”

Rain, mud and big firsts marked Lollapalooza’s 3rd day.

Olivia Dean and Jennie made history onstage, while Chicago teens and an impromptu sapphic mud-wrestling match brought their own memorable moments. https://t.co/EX7Gg4HNqx

Day 2 of Lollapalooza celebrated Chicago artists — from Lil M.U. to the Smashing Pumpkins.

Friday at the music festival saw “Brat” fashion, a canceled Lil Uzi performance and a surprise Olivia Rodrigo appearance. https://t.co/tnIpqQy9bx

Lollapalooza is upon us after Chicago survived yet another round of major storms at the start of the week.

Here’s what @BlockClubCHI reporters and photographers captured while covering the city’s neighborhoods this week: https://t.co/NxnlaQu3Qf

[Melody Mercado @melodymercadotv]

Breaking: In an email to supporters Ald. Bill Conway announces his reelection campaign for the 34th Ward, officially putting to bed rumors that he would run for mayor this cycle. Story coming soon.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

The replacement of DIY art and good-enough photos on local ads by AI really stinks.

Walked past this today. What the hell is this

[Block Club Chicago @BlockClubCHI]

It’ll be a soggy Lollapalooza with storms in the forecast. https://t.co/YHzkbtX0RM

[Colin Boyle @colinbphoto]

These AI ads are garbage & a disgrace. Chicago’s lakefront doesn’t look like this, and whoever approved this trash needs to 1) hire REAL artists to create & 2) simply do better at their job.

This is so embarrassing to see, especially at a mall in the heart of Chicago’s Mag Mile.

From pigeon portraits to the opening of the Obama Center, @BlockClubCHI interns are gaining hands-on reporting experience.

The saga continues:

A city attorney issued a “wake-up call” to the owners of Habibti on Monday, warning the embattled West Loop restaurant could eventually lose its business license if it fails to address complaints.

Rounds of powerful storms flooded basements, downed trees and caused widespread power outages throughout Chicago Monday. https://t.co/8bzYaymML8
