This week was a busy one for The Windy Citizen. From television appearances to mausoleums, we've been all over the place these last five days. And now that there's finally a chance to breathe, there's also a chance to remind our dear readers of what's going on in our fair city.

Jon Rubin reported some interesting Cubs news this week when he found out about a Cubs-themed mausoleum. I'm not even going to try and explain this one; you'll have to read about it yourself.

As mixed as this week was for Chicago news, there was one constant that rang true throughout the last five days.  They've been hot.  So hot, in fact, that a friend confessed yesterday he's been forced to kick his cat off his bed at night to avoid further warmth in his non-air-conditioned apartment.  It's a sad day when the heat affects the kitties.

And with that, here's this week in review.

We here at the Windy Citizen believe in the importance of the weekend. These precious forty-eight hours should be embraced and worshipped. Waking up should be a dragged out, day-long process and going to sleep should happen only once a certain fun threshold has been crossed. In short, life should just be easier. With that in mind, we've put together The Weekender, our look back on the week's biggest news. Now even keeping informed is almost as easy as staying in bed.
