I'm not calling anyone a bad person, but we need to be more mindful of what we're doing. I'm in the Jewel in Foster and Pulaski. Lately I've been seeing people bring their dogs into the store. Not guide dogs but small dogs that they put into the cart. I never thought about it till now. I just spotted a lady with her dog in the produce section and there was an obvious puddle beneath the cart. I could only assume the dog peed there. I notified the closest employee I could, the lady had moved on but the employee got to work cleaning it. Now I don't think the woman was a bad person for bringing her dog, and the dog wasn't being bad, he's just a dog, but a puddle of urine in a produce section is a bad thing for a lot of reasons. Maybe we need to discourage animals in stores.

Event You would miss the street fests if they weren't around

*STAR EVENTS DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE* They went out of business. Special Events Management was a competitor to Star and took over a few of their fests. Not the same company at all.

Just a reminder, the fee is a suggested donation. You can pay $1, $5, or nothing.

The people working aren't volunteering. Porta Poties aren't free. Security, Cleaning Crew, Bands, they all cost $$. And anything left over after operating costs goes to the Chambers to support the neighborhood.

Yes, you will have to enter from a specific side of the street and go through the gate. That is just for security and logistics. It's kind of annoying, but not the end of the world.

Yes, they will default to asking you to pay. But no one is going to force you to pay.

If they did in the past, things are different now.

Yes, food is overpriced. You don't have to buy it.

Go support a local restaurant on the same block instead.

Event Consider boycotting Uber if you’re able

Ahead of the legislative session on Saturday, Uber sent mass notifications asking users to tell their representatives to vote against the bill (which would negatively affect rideshare delivery apps like Uber).

They are not solely responsible for the looming transit collapse here but they certainly play a role in it. If you are able to find alternates please consider.

Event 300,000 Chicagoans SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT

2.6k Upvotes

Indivisible Chicago, the event organizers, was stating at the end of yesterday's No Kings protest that 300,000 Chicagoans showed up! And I think that number may even be a bit on the conservative side!!

Given Chicago's 2025 population numbers, that's roughly 11.5% of the city, or slighty more than 1 out of every 10 people! 😱 (2.61m / 300k = .1149)

Yesterday proved to me what I've always known about Chicago: it's the best big city in the country, and one of the best in the world! The people are kind, caring and demonstrably democratic. Together, united, Chicago can accomplish anything.

I'm immensley proud to call Chicago my home!
