@Metra Hello! The main shelter at the Galewood stop on Naragansett has had a strong urine smell for the last week or so. I wanted to report this so that it could be cleaned. Thank you.

I miss the fireworks.

[Wednesday Journal @OakPark]

Have you been wondering what happened to Oak Park's annual Fourth of July fireworks?

In addition to cost constraints, officials say the lack of a suitable location for the display is part of the problem.

Today I made this whipped cream pound cake. It was on the box of my baking flour. So good! I didn’t even add the glaze.

Maggie Daley Park looked glorious on this chilly fall morning. Caught the moon, too. Many trees are at or past peak color // #ILwx #ChicagoWX

@nicmladic Is it worth reading? I'm ashamed to admit I read Jessica Simpson's book and did not hate it.

I've started making pies. Last week it was French chocolate silk pie. I'm now waiting for banana cream pie to cool. I never fancied myself a baker until now.

Just spent a hour messing around on Facetune with my daughter. It's pretty disturbing to think how much girls/women can alter their pictures to conform to today's standards of beauty. When I was young, I just had to be awkward and goofy looking in pics because that's what I was.

Good night, Chicago. 🧡😌

Now through October 1, don’t miss this striking 12-foot-tall La Catrina sculpture outside the Arboretum’s Visitor Center. A storied figure, La Catrina has become a traditional part of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, observances in Mexico. The Arboretum is hosting the sculpture by artist Jose Luis Martinez Pasillas in partnership with Casa Aguascalientes-Chicago.

Speak midwestern 101

No Yeah = Yes

Yeah no = No

Yeah no for sure = Definitely

Yeah no yeah = I’m sorry, but unfortunately, the answer is yes

No yeah no = oh no, you’ve got nothing to worry about

Ope = excuse me I’m sorry for moving by you

Welp = a time to go statement before slapping your hands on your knees signaling you’re getting up
