- Big Guys Sausage Stand, in Berwyn, saw the money rolling in for Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana this week and decided to take a stand for the other side. Owner Brendan O'Connor started a GoFundMe page to take donations for a charity supporting LGBTQ youth. [Tribune]
- Everyone at a recent pet charity auction took a pass on an autographed football from Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. By the end of the event at Bloomingdale's, there wasn't a single bid on the item that would have fetched proceeds for the Anti-Cruelty Society. But maybe they just weren't sports fans. [Tribune]
- Caught! Kamron T. Taylor, who had police on a manhut after escaping the Kankakee County detention center earlier this week, was nabbed on the South Side late Friday night and handed over to authorities. [Sun-Times]
- Good Friday brought together an annual tradition in Pilsen. The Living Stations of the Cross reenacts the final days of Jesus Christ with several scenes played out along a procession down 18th Street. [DNAinfo Chicago]
- Two men were stabbed early Saturday after an altercation at the Congress Hotel. Both remain hospitalized and no one is in custody yet. [Tribune]
