You should try to get Rick Steves to do an event. He’s been real keen on getting Edmonds to be car-free, and I think he’s said similar things in support of Pike Place.

Fox News thinks Chicago is one rung away from being Fallujah in 2004. They’re also ramping up the anti-Chicago rhetoric because Pritzker is gearing for a 2028 run, and is the bigger threat than Newsom.
