Nice spot for a bookshop.

Looking forward to these folks at MCA this week. #mcachicago #stepney

We could start with the chancla though, and see where it goes.

Inside my Hay. "A Celebration of the New Yorker’s 75th Anniversary: The magazine’s poets Philip Levine, Elizabeth Macklin, Paul Muldoon, Kay Ryan, Mark Strand, and Kevin Young read from their work."

I miss this fine little shop from the old days in DC. OutSTANDing remainder cart. #bookstores

Great grand-dad and his pals.

Shiny new sign at the only public housing I know that is named for a comic artist.

Yep. Settings > Privacy and Security. (I don't have it turned on.)

For one reason or another I missed seeing Robert Glasper at least five times over the past year or so ... but not tonight.

Hilariously, the "not good news" is that Chicago housing remains relatively more affordable than in other large cities (i.e., we're not a speculator's paradise).

You gotta love this place.

I’ve been wearing out the amazing new Jaimie Branch disc and totally forget til yesterday that I had an email exchange with her back in 2020. It was a trivial thing – I bought some merch while venues were shut down for the pandemic – but it still made me smile. RIP you beautiful soul!

Our favorite lakefront cyclist gets a mention in the NYT this morning.
