The Luries and the Pritzkers. Both have contributed greatly to the city and ensured it remained a great city into the 21st century.
just a heads up, apparently a bunch of canned coffee got recalled for botulinum - including dayglow, who i love, but yeah.
tbh I love karaoke at the bottle and this feels like a more chaotic version of that, I think I'm here for it
Doing a couple fun things this week: Tonight: Pelafina is opening the free Neon Trees pop-up show at Cubby Bear: https://www.q101.com/q101-pop-up-with-neon-trees/ Friday: Playing with Pelafina and re-joining City Mouth for the night at Beat Kitchen: https://wl.seetickets.us/event/city-mouth/607147?afflky=BKBGManagementCo
I got one too. I'm not sure if it's always been like this in the 10 years that I live in the area or if global warming is fucking us over.
I think it depends on the year but it has seemingly gotten worse the last couple of years. It hasn’t been this bad where all of Chicagoland is under a tornado warning since like 2015 and the day the hawks won the Stanley cup
