Happy Halloween, everyone. We've decorated Chicagoist headquarters to be at its most scary for when the trick or treaters come by this afternoon. Which means we haven't touched a thing. Give the kids jackets to wear as they're gathering candy; the high today is supposed to be in the low 50s with winds out of the west at 10-15 MPH.

The Century of Progress Exposition closed on this date in 1934. The second World's Fair to be held in Chicago, it attracted over 40 million visitors.
