Com-Ed says it could take “days” to fully restore everything as they are assessing all the damage Caused. I live in the south subs and we lost power at like 4 yesterday right before the storm actually hit. Then sometime between 11pm and 2am Comcast went out. I have power Cuz the place I live has a generator that auto kicks on when the power goes out. So power but no internet

 

Outage Status: As of 11:24 AM on 8/11/2020 we indicate that 556 customer(s) are affected by a power outage in your area. Severe weather has interrupted your service. The preliminary restore time is 3:00 PM on 8/15/2020.

Ouch.

 

That’s what everyone around here has too, and at my in-laws’ in La Grange. Really hoping it’s just a worst case estimate.

 

Actually seems that my power is back already! Not there currently to check, though. Hopefully it is back soon for everyone else.

 

My power and internet just came back on

 

Chubby Wieners in Lincoln Square closed. They were also my go-to at Riot Fest.

 

The Tamale Guy's restaurant opens tomorrow:

The Secret Origin of Chicago’s Tamale Guy

 

Love our authoritarian girlboss mayor

 

Remember when progressives said not to vote for her, but people believed just because she is gay and Black that she would be great and didn’t look at her record? I do.

 

This is why you shouldn't always vote for "woke" points. Viewpoints and track record are pretty damn important.

 

Why though? Are there "riots" and/or looting still going on?

 

i used to live in the south loop so I was and still am in a neighborhood watch group on facebook. im not really following it closely but it seems like a lot of looting is still going on.

 

Shocked i tellz ya

 

Policies that require other officers to step in when one of them is using excessive force, incredible. It's a foolproof plan, can you imagine what a catastrophe it would be if there were a workaround, say for example, just not doing that?

 

Two suburban counties at ‘warning level’ as state sees nearly three-month high of 2,264 new COVID-19 cases across Illinois

Not all surprised that "The South Will Rise Again" collar counties are disregarding mask and social distancing requirements.

 

Finally some good news (I kid for the workers who are affected, not for the tourists).

 

I hate 2020 so so so so so so much.

 

Was just about to post that. I think new restrictions are going to come next week ahead of Labor Day. 350+ cases a day now in the city alone and suburban Cook is on the state’s COVID watch

 

Fuck that’s sad. He just opened his restaurant too. Ugh.

 

RCN down for anyone?

 

It’s really acting up for me.

 

Anybody on the North side get a COVID test recently? Where’s the best/easiest place to go?
