Dave Burge over at Iowahawk uncovered quite a gem of a magazine: the April 3, 1959 edition of a little rag called Night Life in Chicago. It's quite a sight and worth looking through for a peek into yesteryear, including gossip, columns, and ads for show girl lounges. [via]

Flickr user John McNab shared some great old-time Chicago photos that he found via the Library of Congress American Memory website. On a gloomy Friday morning, they're a welcome step back into the past.

In a great big "OOPS!" move, the governor's office accidentally promoted the wrong website in its crusade against violent and sexually explicit video games. At the announcement last week, state school officials mistakenly promoted a website that rediculed Gov. Blagojevich and his crusade. Why the mixup? The governor's site is www.safegamesillinois.org and the site promoted was www.safegamesillinois.com. So easy! So brilliant. Chicagoist is a techie-nerd so we can't understand when this happens and why they didn't shell out the extra $100 to buy a few more URLS, like safegamesillinois.com, safegamesillinois.net, safegamesillinois.gov, etc. Half the novice internet users on this planet automatically put .com at the end of anything they hear anyway, including staff at the gov's office, it seems. They left themselves wide open.
