Jim In Chicagoland

Tonight’s sunset in Chicagoland. ⬇️

Retailers and marketing people tell you “summer is over” and promote “Back To School” sales. Today’s weather forecast disagrees. ⬇️

Morning Reflection at the original Navy Pier Ferris Wheel on this day 10 years ago in Chicago.

29 years ago, I woke up with my newly wedded wife Maureen and hopped on a plane to Maui. Happy Anniversary to us!

If I win MegaMillions or PowerBall, I’m starting a new sports network and focuses on SPORTS. Sports highlights, and live sporting events with announcers and analysts who put the games and competition ahead of opinion/editorial talk shows. I miss ESPN from the 90s 😭

BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.

50 Years Ago Tonight July 23, 1976 An epic storm ends the 42nd and final edition of the Chicago College All-Star Game — between the College All-Stars and the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh #Steelers. With Pittsburgh ahead 24-0, officials permanently suspend the contest with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter due to the nasty conditions and subsequent fan pandemonium that ensues at Chicago's Soldier Field.

This month in 1967, The Monkees released “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” Written by the extraordinary Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 in the U.K. And somehow, it still feels just as much fun to sing all these years later. Do you remember where you first heard “Pleasant Valley Sunday?" Tell me your story in the comments. #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

Report: ESPN and NFL Network to begin fresh set of playoffs. Report: I just cancelled my ESPN subscription. In other news, my Music Quiz is tomorrow night on TikTok at 8pmET. And it’s cheaper - and more interactive- than an ESPN subscription. @jiminchicagoland?_r=1&_t=ZP-98De6rcZzOo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@jiminchicagol…
