This is so fucking embarrassing: “He then ticks off everything from coffee makers to softball as Chicago creations, ultimately chanting the city’s name for the balance of the three-minute video as the bus rides the streets of New York.”
Jesus. If the "Chicago not in Chicago" phrase catches on like they're hoping it will- I think it's going to backfire spectacularly.

Unchecked corruption in NYC? #ChicagonotinChicago.
I read about that opening this year a while back and then totally forgot about it. They should have booked the Jawbreaker Dear You shows there and temporarily changed the slogan to "When it pains it roars" like that classic Jawbreaker shirt.
Audiotree fired Jessica Mindrum and Blake Norris today, the two who were doing the booking and on camera hosting of bands. Huge bummer.
Illinois is dropping the indoor mask mandate sometime this month For everywhere but schools. Official announcement tomorrow
