Y'all are entitled to your own opinions, and God bless the Internet for giving you a forum, but you have no idea what it takes to run a city like Chicago and, since you can't fix stupid, why bother. H...

The shooting was the lead story on the tribune site all day. But yes, the violence is out of control. ...

Holy shit, what are we going to do without our food trucks??? We must have food trucks now! Where am I supposed to eat? ...

Most petty thieves are looking for money, credit cards, etc., and won't even bother with the laptop. Of those that do, if the laptop is password protected, they will toss it right away. The chances th...

Spook, you usually bring a lot of wit and intelligence to the discussion. This is an exception. One would be hard-pressed to come up with any legitimate gripe about Maggie Daley. Even if you could, no...

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'll save everyone the trouble... blah blah blah daley's a crook blah blah ben joravsky is the greatest investigative journalist to ever expose corruption in chicago bla...

You have obviously never been to the 111th Metra stop at 4:00 in the afternoon on parade day. ...

Joe, didn't mean to belittle what you're doing. It is a big step, no doubt. Glad it's going well. ...

I'm not sure why this is news here in Chicago. My wife and I haven't had a car in over a year. We take the bus when the weather is bad, bike when it's not, walk to the grocery store, and use I-GO when...
