Aaron Montgomery Ward is linked to stores and mail-order retail. There’s less fanfare around the tycoon’s work to preserve Grant Park. https://t.co/qZHMQ9ljZO

The Balbo Monument, gifted to Chicago in 1933 by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, is in need of restoration after weathering nine decades of Midwest winters. What should the city do with it? https://t.co/fYuGcBVm3v

Can you tell whose voice it is? As the year begins with a rush of civic pride going into this weekend’s Bears playoffs, we asked some well-known Chicagoans to recite Carl Sandburg's “Chicago,” a beloved local anthem for more than a century. Hear here: https://t.co/quD6GXOFTf

Antonio Enriquez, 53, was walking to a Melrose Park store last month when agents demanded to see his documents. He told them they were a few blocks away at his home, pleading “Vamos a mi casa. Let’s go to my house.” 

But the agents ignored him.

The feds took Enriquez to the Broadview ICE facility. He was held for six hours until she took a copy of his green card and Social Security card. She feared that ICE wouldn’t let him go even though he’s in the country legally.

Chicago has the most lead service lines of any city in the country, and its current plan to replace them is lagging behind a federal mandate. This story kicks off our summer series on lead pipes in Chicago, with @insideclimate @WBEZ and @grist

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

So today I learned that @Vocalo will cease radio broadcast on May 1st. I was there before it had a name. 17 years. @ReclaimedSoul was my gift to the city. #vocalo (which I ran for years) was my love letter. A cheerleader for our rich arts music + culture. I hope you all felt it.

Our CEO, Matt Moog, resigned five months ago but is still here laying off our colleagues. This after he took a $100k, 19% raise in one year with $150k in bonuses and incentives.

Meanwhile a company lawyer asked us in December why we keep asking for detailed financial information

[Brandon Pope TV @BpopeTV]

It was an honor telling Black stories through the MAKING podcast.
This is a major loss for the city of Chicago. My heart breaks for my hardworking WBEZ and Vocalo colleagues who have lost their jobs. Their impact can’t be discarded. I hope management reconsiders.

Sometimes, you just need to hear and read something good. All the very best to Mahbuba: https://t.co/I8yIO6Ll4l

Chicago may be on the verge of ending tipped minimum wage for restaurant workers. Will this affect you? What do you think about it?

If you are in prison, what do you most want to hear on the radio?

Prisoncast, our 2 hour special broadcast produced for and with incarcerated people in Illinois, returns this Sunday 9/17 at 2 pm on @WBEZ & public radio stations statewide. Here’s some of what you’ll listen to 🧵

[Natalie Y Moore @natalieymoore]

Illinois prisons are designed to be invisible. But @WBEZ's statewide Prisoncast! radio special takes your ears inside prison walls -- and into the minds of people incarcerated there. Listen live Sun. from 2-4PM on WBEZ or any Illinois Public Radio station. https://t.co/Ig8jCCx0kO

There was a moment, nearly 30 years ago, when a run-down bowling alley opened its doors to punk musicians from across Chicago. For a little over a decade, the walls shook and the music blared at the Fireside Bowl.
