@NotHoodlum I’m not one to usually feel strongly about such things but she is an over entitled witch.

@atensnut I’m still trying to figure out what defines “American Culture” ? Ask 100 folks and you’ll get as many different answers. Our individuality makes us stronger.

@AJNIntel @uspolitics1111 This is when one really sees our woeful educational system at work. Most of us have no knowledge much less understanding of history. It tends to repeat itself and not enough Americans are able to see these patterns. It could be our undoing.

@BigBillyMazza @DanteTheDon It’s a victory just keeping them in town. Who cares about anything else?

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@spencerpratt Are you still living at the Bel-Air?

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@CrainsChicago Chicago Rising.

@synblinkerfluid @thomashawk I miss the LWB Checker and Yellow Cabs with jump seats. It was incredibly fun as a child to unfold one and sit by myself, watching my beautiful city.

@thomashawk There’s not much in life I have ever loved more than Marshall Field’s and all of State St. at Christmas in the 1960s and 70s.

@minc798 @chicagomaxwell Financing is really loosening up for larger projects around town. It’s somewhat ironic given the increasing cost of borrowing in this environment.

@JerryA61290697 @CrainsChicago @JBPritzker As shocking to you as it may seem, people who could live anywhere still choose to live here. Bad things happen everywhere, but it’s important to note that great, wonderful stuff still happens in our great city.

@TM9380 I’m sorry to hear this historic museum is closing. Chicago has the Notebaert Nature Museum and the fabulous Field Museum of Natural History. I mention this because these museums draw more visitors each year. People still want to learn.

@barrybutler9 @SkydeckChicago @NWSChicago @WGNMorningNews @WGNNews @ABC7Chicago @fox32news @cbschicago @nbcchicago @ChooseChicago The people here are as wonderful as our architecture. A few bad apples can ‘t spoil our city. It still amazes me the South Loop shown here was a concrete wasteland thirty five years ago.

@MelaniaFrance Who wouldn’t love such a wonderful creature!

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@BasedMikeLee There are a heap of sinful so called Christians that use the “ I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior” to justify their bad behavior. Ken Paxton, for instance.

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@MttCarmichael This is deep Northwest Side. It’s always been my favorite part of the city. Gladstone Park, Oriole Park, Norwood Park, Edison Park…..

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@ItsJustPay Agreed! Our biggest loss in the past decade was Virgil Abloh. I can tell from your top you loved him too. He raised Chicago up in so many ways.

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@ChicagoAlek I’m a Yellow/Brown sign guy but I would like N. Michigan Ave and W. Memory Ln.

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@FlagelloMagoo4u @Suntimes Hardly.

[Jim Magidson @Jchiguy1]

@BlockClubCHI They’re a big part of what makes America’s overlooked BBQ capital so special. Oh for one more meal at The Glass Dome Hickory Pit in Bridgeport or Eddie’s on Kinzua beside the Logan Square L.

@Eric_Erins My grandparents always referred to Michigan Ave as Boul Mich both north and south of the river. I still use the term; always with great affection for my favorite street in a city full of great ones.
