Chicago's New Gold Coast. This morning in Lincoln Park. #weather #autumn

Wow. @BCBSIL, your web portal for my dad’s Part G account is just trash. No way to recover the money you just took from a dead man? Can’t communicate with a human? Kewl. #CustomerDisservice

The Sky and the Ground. Colors are in abundance during sunrise on Saturday in Chicago. #weather #chicago

Crisp Chicago. This morning's temps in the 40's with the autumn colors in Hyde Park. Sunday in Chicago. #weather #chicago #ilwx #news

Haha! This will be argued until the end of time. We discussed this for a full year, my first year in my wing in the KU dorms.

Our compromise— the MW is composed of 2 distinct regions: Great Plains & Great Lakes. Both incredibly Midwest, but for totally different reasons

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

This is a very fair ranking of Midwestern states.

When I think of Mike Ditka, I don’t think of a great coach. To me and so many Chicagoans— it feels like he was THE great coach. Gruff, unapologetically unpolished, blunt and just crass enough you knew he was the real deal. Kind of like #Chicago itself? I sure think so. 💕

In 2016, he joined us for our Primetime Special and got quite the surprise.

Here's the hilarious moment Mike Ditka met @FrankCaliendo, as Mike Ditka.

Chicago Harbor at Moonrise, this week.

In September, the average high temp in Chicago goes from 80° to 70° by the end of the month— so “warming up” means something different now than around Labor Day. Could we hit 80 this week? Probably not, but we could get close. @WGNNews

[WGN Morning News @WGNMorningNews]

The final Sunday of September is shaping up to be a very good one, with even warmer temps (and possibly some heavy rain) on the way soon. @TimJoyceWX has the forecast.

@UrbanCourtyard Love the idea! Adding as much green space to urban in-fill SO wise. Tops of parking garages make great community gardens too. Are the inner green spaces available to all or just residents & guests? And how does the square design work with Chicago’s long rectangular blocks?

[tim joyce @TimJoyceWX]

Hmm.. this one is challenging. Definitely after Alaska and Hawaii became states— so I didn’t try to count the stars on the flag. So when did 94¢ gas intersect with home movie rentals… 1983?

@Vamos_eMini @AdsoOfBelk So you have a time machine? #Jealous

New: First look at Chicago White Sox owner-in-waiting Justin Ishbia’s vision to redevelop Amtrak’s rail yard in the South Loop, including a new ballpark facing the Loop with a narrow right field wall along the Chicago River.
