In Case You Missed It...

While you were busy stuffing yourself with turkey, shopping at wee hours of the morning, and taking in an amazing amount of football or trashy television marathons, there was plenty happening back here in Chicago. Here's what you might have missed:

• Ask Chicagoist returned and tackled the question, "What's up with alley honking?"
• Dorothy Brown ended her petition challenge of Todd Stroger in the race for Cook County Board President.
• We discovered the ball-tapping epidemic that's sweeping Indiana schools.
• The debate over housing Guantanamo Bay detainees at the Thomson Correctional Center continues.
• Fare thee well, Lava Lounge.
• A bizarre love triangle soured and left one former state worker with harassment charges when she threatened the "other woman."
• We explored the state's "Loyalty Oath."
• WGN might have canceled Bozo's show but it seems he's still got an invite to their Thanksgiving Day Parade float.
• Bring on the Christmas TV specials and their parodies.
