  5. The business partners the chamber for uptown. Are these not the same guys, like the tattoo factory guy who donates plenty of money to our esteemed alder creature, and of course the lovely Jay Bomberg slumlord extroidinaire ?

  6. A business owner will do what a business owner needs to do to stay in business. Don't blame the business owner but blame the system that perpetuates the need for business owners to pay up to avoid hassles that come with maintaining a business in the ward.

    Once the wicked witch has melted, expect the flying monkeys to celebrate too. I think I want a flying monkey tattoo now.

  7. I am incredibly excited to see that Cornmeal is headlining on Sunday! They are a jam/bluegrass band I have been going to see for over eights years at various venues and festivals in Chicago. Be sure to check them out - they are amazing.
