Chicago is takin' on the gulls.
Macy's has got multiple personalities: they're going to bring back "Field Gear" as a men's sportswear brand. But getting rid of the name isn't why they're tanking. Okaaaay.
Almost all the CHA's Jane Addams houses are gone, but they're saving the New Deal-era animal sculptures known as "Animal Court" for a park in the new mixed-income community. Cool.
Good news! More Chicago Public School kids are graduating and going to college.
