Got honked at for the crime of *checks notes* - using this well-marked crosswalk on Lincoln yesterday. What more do you need? I guess we need to go for full on speed tables in order to get people to understand they need to share the fucking road.

Based on nothing but Google Street view, it looks like there was a water issue causing a sagging lintel at least on the second floor. They were probably facing a full replacement and decided to go the cheaper route.

The sheer scale of this weekends protests is rather nutty. I'm not sure how effective it will be against the current admin, but I'm glad to see people showing up. www.cnn.com/us/maps-ice-...

My best guess here. Others have evaluated the $ value vs cost of the comparable units of storage, my interest is more in the experienced effects automobile throughput and storage. Blocked lines of sight, acoustical intrusion, fear of crossing, injury and death, lack of childhood independence.

With The Fire possibly coming to the 78, there is an opportunity to use this development to reverse a lot of the car-centric planning in the east Near West side - or the "big box zone". Just for fun. blockclubchicago.org/2025/06/03/c...
