Fuck the Air and Water Show. Literally everyone in Chicago fucking hates it. It’s such a fucking nuisance and waste of money.

I called my alder’s office and they said to attend a special events committee meeting to give public comment, speak at a full council meeting general public comment, or send an email to dcase@cityofchicago.org.
That was like a full sustained minute of ear-splitting jet noise, twice. Move the goddamn air show to Lake Geneva or something I cannot take this anymore.

Frustrated about the bike parking sitch at Millennium Park? A source at CDOT says don't blame them. "CDOT doesn’t have any jurisdiction over the MP Bike Station anymore. It, and Millennium Park in general, is managed by DCASE."

Bad: Millennium Park Bike Station, Chicago's only public indoor bike parking facility, became police-only post-COVID.
chi.streetsblog.org/2023/03/24/c...
Awful: Its plaza is now locked, and the *outdoor* parking (I designed) is gone! There wasn't neatly enough bike parking last night. - JG

An opportunity for poets in Chicago:
when I interned at DCASE I was like this should absolutely be a workplace comedy (I guess that's basically just Parks & Rec again but, like, behind the scenes at the actual Taste of Chicago)
I would actually watch a Chicago Streets and San infrastructure workplace dramedy. So many more possible stories, fewer guns (never no guns in Chicago), and could be set anywhere. Running gags about where to get lunch could showcase hot dog stands citywide.
