Follow @Chicago_Scanner to learn the extensive looting/crime spree downtown that continues right now. Old Navy, Block 37, Macy’s, Binny’s, jewelry stores, Sak’s, some of it captured on live TV. Complete mayhem.

I live in Chicago’s Streeterville hood. Now it’s become Looterville. Guess the lawless looters needed some donuts in between hits on Mag Mile stores. Mayor Lightfoot, arrest them and lock em up. ABefore our critics again start calling Chicago “Beirut by the Lake.” #looterville

Washington Post’s only reporter in Africa earns the James Foley Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism. Max Bearak’s brave reporting on life threatening issues in African nations are inspiring at a time when journalists are at personal risk throughout the world. Well done, Max.

No more pleasurable taxi ride to a summer morning meeting than on a Chicago Water Taxi. Now, if only we could do this year-round.

You know it’s a TV shoot when an NYPD car is parked in your Chicago neighborhood. Filming “Empire” scenes today. No Jussie Smollett, thank goodness.
