I was a member of this coop for about 7 years when I lived on Union St between the Gowanus Canal and a coffin distributor. Loved my time in NYC.

The Park Slope Food Coop video meeting on whether to boycott Israeli goods has been going for nearly 2 hours, and they haven't taken the vote yet. A friend wonders how many voters they're losing to attrition. Tyranny of the night owls!

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

What an immense loss for the acting and comedy community. A true legend that will be remembered forever.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Wicker Park has been cooked for over 10 years, Logan's edge has dulled. Corps and single unit housing killed 'em both. Pilsen also starting to show signs. What nightclubs are in Uptown?

Saw this AskChicago thread and everybody in the comments is recommending Uptown over Logan/Wicker. What??

Fascists fear five-year olds.

Q: Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool? Border Patrol Chief Bovino: I've got no qualms about making America a safer place

I was against public funding when Ricketts needed to rehab Wrigley and surrounding areas. I am against public funding for the Bears and/or White Sox - why are we even discussing handouts for billionaires?
