Little Donnie Hitler’s storm troopers in Chicago. Sometimes they need this gear to protect themselves against lawn care people wielding deadly leaf blowers. Thanks to Block Club Chicago for the image.

Jerry Peart, the sculptor who created the remarkable "Riverview," a sculpture that embodies the amusement park formerly just north of Western and Belmont (see photo below), has died. He and artists like John Adduci, Tom Scarff and Richard Hunt dotted our local landscape with their metal sculptures.
