@Chicago2100 @MikeMcDTweets North Clark Street should become a public plaza from W Grace to W Newport, as well as West Addison from N Clark to N Wilton. Wrigleyville is practically a pedestrian plaza already.

@MikeMcDTweets We should have permanent event spaces that double as public plazas / parks when events are not taking place. We have so much space to create more, here's my take on where streets can be converted

Chicago has set its referendum slate for this fall's election. On Nov. 3, voters will answer 3 questions: 1) Should city develop permanent festival + outdoor event space? 2) Should city reinstate gunshot detection tech? 3) Should city try to recoup costs from Op. Midway Blitz?

@Loeklan183204 @Chicago_Goofies He does have a right to carry. As a CCL holder he is also obligated to follow CCL rules which he agreed to do upon receiving his CCL. If he's so emotional, maybe he shouldn't have a CCL.

@So_TypicalMe @Chicago_Goofies except they didn’t have any reason other then someone called and said he might have one and even if he did have one which he didn’t he has every right to do so

@youprollymad @Chicago_Goofies This is America. And if you FA you FO. He's the only boomer in the situation and acted like a karen. Also in America we have the 1st amendment so I don't need to stfu 😁

@So_TypicalMe @Chicago_Goofies Stfu boomer. This is America.

@Chicago_Goofies A responsible CCL carrier would cooperate because they should know that failure to comply w/ the state's reasonable CCL rules is a violation & could lead to suspension of his CCL. His words & behavior were dodgy while police were calm & reasonable. He escalated the situation.

@Chicago_Goofies Public Act 98-0063, Section 10(h). He should know Illinois CCL rules as a carrier that he is required to produce his weapon to police upon their request. Police can detain if they have a reasonable suspicion that he is a danger to himself or others. They followed the law.

@ChicagoContrar1 Citing builders, construction sites & city contractors for construction safety, OSHA & permit violations would easily decrease the budget gap. Collect the $23 million owed by City of Chicago workers for parking tixs & fines, & we even have a budget surplus. It's called math.

Reduce property taxes. Cut the bloated budget. Shrink the size of Chicago government.

@CWBChicago Half of the kids at these takeover events don't even live in Chicago. They just come in from the burbs to party.

Question for the "teens" who say they need safe places (and money) to prevent takeovers. Um, what do you do on the 362 days a year that you aren't at a takeover and why don't you do that the other 3 days?

@ejhickey1 @CWBChicago

@CWBChicago the teens who showed up at city hall to meet with the alderman are not the ones who caused chaos at the takeover. This was a carefully staged event to provide "evidence " for more city spending that the aldermen to take credit for.

@WGNMorningNews Then the city needs to start charging parking for the dozens of buses that park on Irving Park with their diesel engines running for games and events at Wrigley Field. That alone should resolve the budget crisis.

The CTA wants to start charging residents for the parking spots behind their Lakeview homes because they're under the CTA train tracks, and residents are not happy. Read more: tinyurl.com/4waum6tr

@hecheateddotorg I can't believe people are still trying to argue that men are identical to women just because they took some hormones. Women do HRT for perimenopause, menopause, thyroid disease, PCOS & on & on. It's insulting to biological females that anyone dare to compare our bodies.

@hecheateddotorg There's an entire branch of medicine dedicated to biological female health. There are entire hospitals exclusively focused on female health. If that isn't explanation enough of how different biological female bodies are from biological males, I don't know what is.

"HRT eliminates all male advantage and makes men identical to women" One of the most frustrating parts of all of this is listening to "the experts" spout this off while having eyes and a working frontal lobe.

@JonnyCacciatore @CWBChicago @WGNNews 👏💯

@CWBChicago Hey, @WGNNews You could learn something about real journalistic integrity by taking lessons from @CWBChicago. Try the truth sometimes. It works so much better than placating the Left.

A man ordered by a court to stay away from a woman's Uptown condo building returned last night and shot and killed the condo board president who asked him to leave, witnesses say. Cops shot the man when he raised his gun toward them, according to CPD. cwbchicago.com/2026/06/uptown…

@giveashitnature Union Pacific destroyed an entire ecosystem when it clear cut a mile of trees, bushes & plants along the train tracks from Ravenswood to Diversey in April 2025. Nests, burrows, dens, all gone. Didn't hear a peep from any environmental group or politician. Shame on UP & Chicago!

@giveashitnature Builders in northside Chicago don't give a hoot about nature. I've watched in real time as they've felled 100 year old trees with nests in them. I can't bear to think about all the animals & hibernating insects that have been dumped in landfills. 💔😢

A national homebuilder just parked its bulldozer to save four speckled eggs sitting in the dirt. In Lockport, Illinois, Ray and Shelly Romolt had spent years hoping someone would finally build on the empty lot next door. Then they found a killdeer nest in the weeds: four eggs, laid right on the bare ground. So instead of welcoming the new neighbors they'd been waiting for, they asked the builder to hold off. Stop for a month or so, they said, then build away. The law was behind them. Killdeer are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes it illegal to destroy an active nest with eggs in it. The couple called the state, the state confirmed it, and D.R. Horton, a company that puts up tens of thousands of houses a year, taped off the nest and pushed its dig date back until the chicks hatched. Killdeer don't nest in trees, they lay their eggs in a shallow scrape on open gravel and dirt: parking lots, driveways, ball fields, construction sites, even flat gravel rooftops. The eggs are speckled to look exactly like the stones around them, which is why people crush them without ever seeing them. Hats off to the home builders for waiting for the eggs to hatch first.

@SubxNews @drkugler It feels like incidents get watered down a lot to make them sound more benign to not scare people. 🙄 The 19th district police and 47th ward are notorious for doing this ugh! When I go to CAPS meetings, I find out that they aren't documenting shootings unless someone was hurt.

Downtown Loop Stabbing: Sexual Assault Becomes "Unwanted Contact" as Story Changes Three Times by @drkugler SubX.News® Crime Report | June 6, 2026 Friday afternoon began with reports of a sexual assault and two stabbing victims at State and Lake. By the end of the night, detectives were telling a different story. Initial police reports described a sexual assault, a fight, and a woman stabbing two men. Hours later, detectives revised the incident, changing the alleged sexual assault to "unwanted contact" and ultimately determining that only one person had actually suffered a laceration. State and Lake, the location of the incident, sits directly outside theWit Chicago hotel and is currently impacted by major CTA construction associated with the ongoing State/Lake station reconstruction project, with barriers, fencing, and construction activity surrounding portions of the intersection. CPD blocked off multiple blocks of State Street between Randolph Street and Wacker Drive to vehicle traffic following the incident, creating a large crime scene in the heart of the Loop during the Friday afternoon rush. Photos and video from the scene show police tape extending along State Street outside theWit Chicago hotel while detectives processed evidence and documented the area. Personal belongings remained inside the crime scene perimeter in front of State and Lake Chicago Tavern, including luggage, bags, footwear, and a rolling suitcase or luggage cart next to a child's car seat attached or positioned in front of it. Scanner traffic also referenced a female reportedly carrying a suitcase, though police have not publicly explained whether any of the items were connected to the individuals involved in the incident. Multiple revisions to the police narrative raise unanswered questions about what actually occurred at State and Lake, who was involved, and why the confrontation escalated into violence. Police have not explained the relationship, if any, between the 24-year-old woman, the 25-year-old man, the 31-year-old man, and the 36-year-old woman. It remains unclear whether they were friends, family members, acquaintances, romantic partners, co-workers, or complete strangers who encountered one another on a crowded downtown sidewalk. Questions also remain about how the 25-year-old man received his injury, why an alleged eye stabbing was later removed from the narrative, and what evidence led detectives to revise the incident from a reported sexual assault to unwanted contact. Television stations, newspapers, social media accounts, and even Google's AI-generated news summaries repeated versions of the earlier police narrative before detectives issued their final update late Friday night. As of Saturday morning, the public still does not know what relationship, if any, existed between the people involved, what started the confrontation, or why the accounts provided by police changed multiple times over the course of the evening. No arrests were announced in the public notifications, and Area Three Detectives continue to investigate the incident. What Officers Were Saying on the Radio Scanner traffic recorded during the incident suggests responding officers were trying to sort out a rapidly evolving and confusing scene. Within minutes of arriving, officers reported two stabbing victims, a knife recovered at the scene, and a female suspect in custody. One officer described a male with lacerations to the face, neck, and arm while another victim reportedly suffered a laceration to the hand. Radio traffic also reflected uncertainty over whether one of the victims could also be considered an offender. Additional radio traffic referenced allegations that a female claimed the stabbed male had sexually assaulted her prior to the confrontation. One responding officer stated the male could potentially be taken into custody based on that allegation. The transmissions show officers attempting to determine who was a victim, who was an offender, and whether anyone else was being sought. Several of those details later changed as Area Three Detectives continued their investigation and revised the public narrative surrounding the incident. Based on the scanner transcript, officers were discussing at least four involved people: • Female with the knife — placed in custody in the back of a squad car. Dispatchers and responding officers repeatedly referenced the female who allegedly carried out the stabbing. • Male with facial, neck, and arm injuries — initially described as one of the stabbing victims and later discussed as a possible offender because of the sexual assault allegation. • Male with the hand laceration — described as the second victim who suffered a cut to the hand. • Female making the sexual assault allegation — officers specifically referenced a female alleging that the stabbed male had sexually assaulted her prior to the confrontation. One unanswered question from the radio traffic is whether the female with the knife and the female making the sexual assault allegation were the same person or two different individuals. The transmissions never clearly answer that question. Scanner traffic also appears to align more closely with the initial police narrative than the final detective update, further illustrating how the publicly reported facts evolved over the course of the investigation. Public CPD notifications later identified four people involved in the incident: a 24-year-old female, a 25-year-old male, a 31-year-old male, and a 36-year-old female. Police have not publicly explained the relationship between any of the individuals involved. Below is verbatim information from the Chicago Police Department Media Major Incident Notifications.

@streetsblogchi @EllenSteinke @ChicagoDOT @_atalliance @rideillinois @the12thward @AldermanLaSpata @StreetsblogNYC @peopleforbikes @BikeLeague @MomentumMag CDOT wrote the report themselves! Of course it's going to show that their "safety" project is working. If you're an employee, you can't singly review your own job performance and use it as "proof" to your boss. There's no accountability.

A new CDOT report finds that while bike lanes improved safety, they didn’t harm businesses, and they may help make corridors more economically resilient. 🚲 🛴 💵 👍 chi.streetsblog.org/2026/05/19/new…
