Chicago invented the skyscraper.
You can tell NYC is the only real city in the US because for the one thing Chicago is famous for—elevated rail—they're still massively behind NYC in both mileage and ridership.

Just because you stayed at the Marriot downtown on St Clair don't mean you been on DA CLAIR!!

For every 7 figure lawyer helping US, Glenville should be allowed to bring on a former NFL player. You have Jones Day. Well, meet Troy Smith

Love the lake but the farm equipment scene at Marion Local belongs in the Louvre.
VASJ may have the best view from the box in the state...

The richest private school in Cleveland opting out from playing Cleveland Glenville over public school enrollment boundaries will be discussed in the CLE group chats for decades to come. Go Tarblooders!!
Here is the statement I obtained from University School. US will either end the season with a forfeit to Glenville, or play Salem next Friday. A source tells me the team will continue to practice @WOIOSports @cleveland19news

MARTA gates accepted my corporate card. Chicago CTA did not. Chicago CTA was also unable to accept colleague’s personal UK credit card.

My first day as Ohio Governor, I’m riding a Coast Guard ice cutter up the Cuyahoga to my inauguration at Shooter’s where I will sign legislation to remove I-71 from the jurisdiction of the Linndale Police Department. Then I will resign, a hero to my people.
Here’s my list of Day 1 Executive Orders. They’ll be signed before midnight on January 11. Buckle up. E.O. #1: Investigate local property tax spikes. This executive order will direct the Department of Taxation, in consultation with the Auditor of State, to review changes in property taxes in every county, township, municipality, school district, and special district in Ohio, and surface how increased property taxes have been spent. Every jurisdiction that has seen an increase of over 100% in property taxes since 2020 will be subject to a full investigation into spending realities and needs. E.O. #2: End sanctuary cities across Ohio. This executive order will prohibit Ohio cities, townships, counties, or other local jurisdictions from adopting policies that would prevent or impede their law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Specifically, if a political subdivision does not honor detainer requests or share information as federal law allows, the local government will lose eligibility for state grants run by executive agencies, including public-safety and homeland-security grants, until it complies. The sanctuary city policy would also be referred for possible legal action. E.O. #3: Stop new data center projects until comprehensive legislation is signed. This executive order directs every state agency, board, and commission to pause action on any application, permit, incentive or approval for a new data center to give the General Assembly time to pass comprehensive data center legislation that includes my non-negotiable principles. E.O. #4: Direct the Department of Medicaid to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse. This order will direct the Department of Medicaid to apply for a Section 1115 waiver that caps Ohio's Medicaid spending, in line with Tennessee's original TennCare III waiver, which let the state keep up to 55 percent of federal savings when it spent below the cap. Under similar terms more of every dollar of fraud that Ohio stops would return to Ohio. E.O. #5: Prioritize solving violent crimes to rapidly get criminals off our streets. This executive order will direct the Departments of Public Safety and of Rehabilitation and Corrections to prioritize violent crime clearance rates in discretionary funding available to support local law enforcement. Tools including advanced forensic science will enable local law enforcement to increase the number of violent crimes solved from the current 34% level to aggressively eliminate violent criminality in Ohio cities. E.O. #6: Comprehensively review all existing state contracts to root out wasteful spending. This executive order will order a review of every executive-branch contract paid in-part or in-full from the General Revenue Fund. The Department of Administrative Services, working with the Office of Budget and Management, will review each contract's legal basis, necessity, performance, alternatives, and the cost of ending it versus continuing it, then recommend continuation or termination. E.O. #7: Establish an inter-agency anti-fraud task force, with direct accountability to the Governor. This executive order will establish an inter-agency task force, reporting directly to the Governor, focused on combating various forms of fraud including, but not limited to: Medicaid fraud, benefits fraud, and child care fraud; visa fraud; voter registration fraud; trucking fraud; foreign CDL licensure; and abuse of foreign hiring by public entities. The anti-fraud task force will consist of experts from across state government and the private sector and may include representatives from the Auditor of State, Secretary of State, and Attorney General.

Angel Cabrera has made Georgia Tech an absolute delightful place to be
It’s not “Adios.” It’s “Nos vemos.” 💛 Thank you for everything, President Cabrera. Georgia Tech will always be your home. 🐝

The demand for American brands in Bolivia. 👀
Volvemos a tener una inversión en Sucre después de 16 años. Esta tarde se inaugura el primer Burger King de esta ciudad. Estoy muy contento y también lo están los miembros de mi familia. Aquí nos sentimos en casa. Hemos vuelto para acercarnos a los sucrenses y para cumplir con ellos.

Every day in America someone stands up at a public meeting to rail against luxury housing for yuppies, never realizing they are the load bearing demographic keeping city budgets from imploding.

it's always fun talking to people actually involved in municipal fiscal policy about the much derided childless 20something professionals...they pay taxes, they spend their money, they do not consume expensive, in-person services, they are the atlas holding us all up

Walking around Downtown Chicago tonight. We should emulate something like Dubai International Financial Center and make Chicago Loop some kind of tax free, visa fast track zone for any business in a building over 50 years old.

It’s sad watching Ken Griffin building Miami instead of Chicago. Here he is among Founders of Millenium Park.

Right by where I grew up. Salt deposits go in all directions but easier to negotiate mineral rights under the lake with one land owner, the state of Ohio.
Morton salt is mined 2,000 feet below Lake Erie. And now the lake is leaking into the mine. The mine was evacuated, with no injuries. Do not expect the mine to reopen anytime soon. Or ever.
