@VincentDJohnson I believe I've seen it opened up!!

#IllustriousGyms personal rank #19 #Evanston's Beardsley Gym Super-Sectional edition. The Wildkits have a beautiful gym. With all the seating in what the original blueprints call a "spectators gallery" it has the gladiator-pit like feel so many love. One of the most surprising things I found while researching this Dwight Perkins designed gym, was that it's hiding some amazing metal roof supports behind the current drop ceiling. I'm sure the windows are long since boarded up, but I'm willing to bet I'd rank this place even higher if they open it back up. This is just 1 of 126 different high school gyms from across the state that are featured in my book "Illustrious: The best high school basketball gyms in Illinois."

@jlog208 @jrpsaki Did you read the part where she paid for the stationery, because people actually wrote to her, as aided to people crossing to the other side of the street when they see the current director of communications headed their way.

@jrpsaki Jen, you won't answer this because your intern won't hand it to you, they lack integrity and you lack integrity. Here's my question: While spending taxpayer money did you ever consider it's taxpayer money?

Would hope you had more important things to worry about (you know the cost of eggs, childcare, veterans waiting for care…could literally go on) but hey since you raised it I purchased these myself to write notes to colleagues and staff to thank them for their work and also to write back to people who wrote me including kids. How dare I!

@VincentDJohnson Assembly Hall of course

The current gym I'm photographing. Pretty sure none of you know about this place. Truly a hidden gem in Illinois.

@VincentDJohnson @ChiEliteClassic @HonorGloryFame @MaristBoysHoops @STL_Athletics @stlvikinghoops @StLaurenceVikes Nice photo of number 4’s butt

@TheDunkCentral @shannonsharpeee Was the quote that he had trouble sitting, yes or no?

Stephen A. Smith claims his sources are Lonzo Ball’s doctors “Would you like me to tell you the names of the doctors that operated on you? I know the actual Doctor’s…..if I said it it’s because someone close to you told me.” (h/t @shannonsharpeee)

@jimfrank1018 @stevensonhs @OMahoneyPhoto @SHSPatRiot The season starts in October and goes through February and into March. Plenty of time to play what is definitely many games.

The Patriots (43-16) took on New Trier last night in the AHAI State Semifinals. The game was close much of the way, but Stevenson, the defending state champion, took the loss 4-2. Check out today's Daily Digest for more photos. Photos: Brian O'Mahoney. @omahoneyphoto @shspatriot

@SHSPatRiot @stevensonhs Do we know what time the doubles teams play tomorrow?

Both doubles teams (Sonia/Ainika & Abby/Ana) won their fourth round matches this morning and move on to the fifth in the consolation bracket! Let's GO PATS!! @shspatriot @stevensonhs #patriotpride

@SHSPatRiot @stevensonhs What time do the 2 doubles teams in the Consolation round play???

Sarah Wang will play for the girls tennis IHSA state championship tomorrow at NOON at Buffalo Grove HS. @stevensonhs @shspatriot @aeshsstatesman #patriotpride

@stevensonhs You’re welcome!!

Thanks to @joellerner for the great photos!

Congratulations Class of 2022!! Graduating seniors in the Class of 2022 happily experienced the Grand Finale to their high school careers at Stevenson's Commencement Ceremonies over the last few days. Full story: facebook.com/stevensonhs/vi…

@SHSPatRiot @stevensonhs Did they cancel the finals and go with the prelim results?

Ella O’Neall becomes a state champion in girls’ shot put!! Way to go Ella!! @SHSPatRiot @stevensonhs

@Kelly_Crull @FreddieFreeman5 @BravesOnBally Kelly, thank you for asking the questions and giving Freddie the space to answer in his own time. We miss you in Chicago! Glad you got your 2nd championship before the Cubs!!

There’s always the human side to any business transaction…I hope #Braves country & baseball fans who to take a listen, appreciate how genuine & authentic @FreddieFreeman5 is in this conversation…grateful for the time he gave us @BravesOnBally

@VincentDJohnson @MaineSouthHoops @LockportHoops @lthsathletics Evanston will feel very similar!!

No, I'm not at Harvard or Yale tonight, they call this place "The Pit." Wait for it. It's one of the coolest gyms in the state. @MaineSouthHoops Vs @LockportHoops. At @lthsathletics

@OMahoneyPhoto I probably won’t be buying one, but would gladly go on a ride with you if you have 2 of them!!

@joellerner Bought a couple of them from Biktrix

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. I had forgotten how fun it is! eBikes Rock!

@OMahoneyPhoto Did you rent the bike or buy it?

@michaelsobrien Didn’t they used you at least rotate 5A/6A and 7A/8A?

Random thought before another always interesting Saturday night drive home up Western Avenue: IHSA should totally rotate the football title game times around yearly. Class 5A shouldn't always be playing at 10 am and 8A shouldn't always get the 7 pm slot. Only seems fair.

@MLBStats @Cardinals Four of those were against the Cubs so I’m not sure it should count

The @Cardinals are the first NL team to win 16 straight since the New York Giants in 1951.

@5EANKING @jkimpictures He’s not that young and has eaten many many hot dogs!!!!

Real-life concern: Haven’t had a cold in 2+ years, thanks to excessive hand washing, sanitizer, face masks, and social distancing. The next time it happens, I will probably freak out on many levels.

@OMahoneyPhoto @ThePioneerPress @BuffaloGrovePPN @CarolynPinta That’s my high school buddy, Howard Wallach!!!

@KFirsel @PressSec She's honest, forthright, polite and professional. And she's a redhead!! What's not to like? I know she's married. So refreshing.

It’s that simple.
