Between the extreme heat, humidity and the string of storms from the last several days, this has been one of the worst weather weeks I can recall in Chicago in recent memory. And it's supposed to storm yet again here in moments, but there's nowhere for the water to go.

From "Impossible to Inevitable," the Thompson Center reuse is a perfect example of the incredible power of preservation to generate economic development.

Governor Thompson wanted the State of Illinois Building (later renamed the Thompson Center) to stimulate the Central Loop in the early 1980's.

Preservation Chicago and preservation partners worked for over a decade towards a preservation-oriented outcome and to prevent demolition. Thompson Center was a Chicago 7 Most Endangered in 2016, 2018, 2019 & 2020.

Thanks to this long and successful preservation campaign, and visionary developers and decision makers, 40 years later, the Thompson Center as Google HQ will again have a huge beneficial impact on the Central Loop.

I’ve long wondered why Chicago doesn’t celebrate Dyngus Day and of course a fellow Buffalonian thought to bring the celebration here. Buffalo hosts the world’s largest Dyngus Day, I covered it last year for @washingtonpost

Northern Indiana residents — especially those of Polish or Eastern European descent — will celebrate the end of Lent on Dyngus Day on Monday. https://t.co/7E9QuFflLU

The cool thing about being Catholic in Chicago is that this is my neighborhood church. This is the church I can walk 15 minutes and experience the most beautiful mass.

Northern Indiana RDA is looking at 3 NEW, South Shore Line extensions/lines:

-Monon extension to St. John
-Monon branch to Crown Point
-New line to Valparaiso/Porter County airport

St. Louis temporarily replaced "bus stop" signs with "bus start" signs to improve the perception of transit and induce ridership. It didn't work.

In hindsight it was a dumb idea. However, it was cheap to test out and I'm glad someone tried and found out.

Owner of Pope Leo's childhood church, school, pushing to preserve buildings - CBS News -

"There's a push to save Pope Leo XIV's childhood church and school after it made Preservation Chicago's Most Endangered list last week.

"The annual Chicago 7 Most Endangered list sounds the alarm on buildings and structures that are imminently threatened.

"Now, St. Mary of the Assumption is at risk of being demolished.
