This is a great idea. I think he should charge more for the service though. I'd pay $20/year for sure.

This Windy City News guy is posting anything but. His links appear to all lead to press releases. I'm cool with the occasional post like that, but this person joined today and has posted more than a dozen already.

During the 1920s, the Chicago Rapid Transit Company commissioned the city's finest graphic artists to produce advertising posters that encouraged Chicagoans to use rapid transit for more than commuting to work. The images produced beckoned Chicagoans to the city's parks, museums and other urban spots, as well as to more bucolic destinations beyond the city limits.

Somewhere in Chicago, Nance Klehm is composting 1500 gallons of human waste

good.is

—

In an undisclosed storage area in Chicago, Nance Klehm has a hidden stockpile of human excrement. When the 1,500-gallon stash finishes its two-year composting cycle next summer, it will be soil as rich as any you could buy at the store—a gardener’s black gold. If it’s discovered by the authorities before then, it’ll be deemed hazardous and removed.

CPD Fail: Photo of a Chicago cop parked in a handicapped spot

failocracy.com

—

From the blog: "I took this photo while I was in Chicago last month. It seems that the car is, indeed, handicapped, but the officer did not appear to be.
