Posted by Dan Mihalopoulos at 7:06 a.m.
A South Side alderman has introduced legislation to create “official placards” that Chicago’s 50 aldermen could place on their vehicle dashboards, but she emphasized it wouldn’t be to avoid parking tickets.

I have finally attained a voucher for taking training that will assist me in gaining the knowledge necessary for competing for employment in the tight job market.

Their tone and sync were flawless and their selestion of play list was indeed pleasing and hard to beat. It seems that the Dead, like a fine wine continues to improve with age. Starting with Dancing [...]

Out of the Chicago to Washington, D.C. cauldron comes this little nugget fresh from the halls of Chicago politics.
