Sox fans are so much better than cub fans. If you give Sox fans a team that is actually WORTH WATCHING, they flock to the ballpark in DROVES.

The key difference between the 2 though is that Sox fans go to actually WATCH baseball. Cub fans go just to get drunk and post on insta

A few dozen parents and educators are outside Sip and Savor at 53rd and Hyde Park Blvd for a “parent take over” in response to a “teen takeover” that’s been rumored to be happening in the neighborhood later. Most of these people are wearing shirts from Kenwood Academy.

Jason Bateman is being criticized for asking Charli xcx about having children. The pop star said “I actually don’t really want to have kids,” which prompted Bateman to tell her she might change her mind.

"I guess I’m backing into giving myself a half-assed compliment here, but my wife did not want to have kids, so the story goes," Bateman said. "She said once we started going out she thought, ‘Okay, I think I can have a kid with this guy.’ So you might find somebody.”

“Well, I am married,” Charli then informed Bateman, who joked: "I got to read a newspaper one of these days. Your next husband, you’re gonna want kids.”

Tzuco is my fav Mexican spot downtown: “In 2008, Gaytán opened Mexique. Gaytán’s French Mexican fine dining restaurant….The restaurant earned its first star in 2013, and by proxy Gaytán became the first Mexican-born chef to lead the kitchen at a Michelin-rated restaurant.”
