my family dog thinks frozen green beans are the world’s best food and begs by sitting at the freezer until he gets them Every Evening. he is sleeping over at my place tonight for the first time and just sat and whined at my freezer in hopes i had green beans for him

I have mixed feelings about the Obama Center. Haven't decided my opinion yet despite the fact that I walk or run or bike by it almost every day.

But what I love about Chicago in general, including architecture at UChicago and in Hyde Park generally, is that builders take bold risks. This means there's a lot of interesting and distinctive buildings. It also means you win some and you lose some. Such is the nature of taking risks. I am happy to live in a neighborhood that does this.

Meanwhile, the Obamalith has been growing on me with time—partly because it's so distinctive and it really is a remarkable and unique sight from all different parts of the neighborhood—the Midway, Jackson Park, and the lakefront. There’s something to be said for unmistakable skylines.

As far as I've heard, many people hated the Eiffel Tower when it first went up, and now it's iconic.

I'm also really excited about the larger community center and sports complex and library being built up in complex.

I'm going to guess that history will judge this one a win, but even if it doesn't, I'm glad that organizations take architectural risks in Chicago.

Well that was.....something.

This marks the second Dust Storm Warning in our office's history. The first was on May 7, 2023. However, that warning was away from the metro area. This was the first Dust Storm Warning that included the city of Chicago.
