So many parallels between cooking and playing piano. I love to cook. It's become a meditative practice for me that soothes my spirit, clears my mind and feeds my body. At home in the kitchen cooking while having philosophical debates or listening to music is a peak life zone.

A few dozen parents and educators are outside Sip and Savor at 53rd and Hyde Park Blvd for a “parent take over” in response to a “teen takeover” that’s been rumored to be happening in the neighborhood later. Most of these people are wearing shirts from Kenwood Academy.

It’s pretty funny how obvious it should’ve been that the key to disrupting teen takeovers was just their parents showing up

Now making their way to Promontory Point. They’ve found a group of teens which they are now slowly chasing. One of the organizers could be heard saying “Haha they running”

Downtown Chicago was home to not one, not two, but six passenger train stations. So what happened to them? #RailsWTTW to.wttw.com/4c7jAWr
