By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com


The Shitty-Looking Coat Shooter surrenders. Apparently he started doing good about 3 days too late.

I hope you are sitting down for this one. Chicago city workers do not work all that hard. What next? Telling us that in fact 12 of the 14 street city workers standing around a 2'x2' pothole aren't necessary?

What happens at the end of your el train's line? RedEye's always on-point Kyra Kyles explores.

Cook County is all evicted-out. The renting-tenants of several Cook Co. properties which have been foreclosed will not face evictions if their landlord had failed to make mortgage payments.

Since it was a slow news day, this is where the Arby's are downtown. I visited my favorite one today that isn't on this map, that's a block East of State St. right by Loyola.

Fatburger comes to Chicago. Yes, the Fatburger- the one name-dropped in Today was a Good Day by Ice Cube.

Congress is finally stepping up its efforts to make trains viable in the US.
