Jacob Nelson is the news and features editor of the Windy Citizen. He is still trying to figure out exactly what that means. He recently read Norwegian Wood by Murakami, which he would like to recommend to everyone. He's also looking forward to his first summer in Chicago, and hopes it's as fun as everyone says.

There have been a lot of great reports in the Citizen this week on everything from the Olympics to polaroids. In this post-Lollapalooza world, however, with my throat still sore from Grant Park's dust and my room still a mess of piles of dirt-encrusted clothes, it's difficult for me to find or think of anything else for a weekend recap. Luckily, there's no lack of stories to draw upon. Here's what you should know going into what will hopefully be a calmer next few days...
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.
This weekend finally felt like summer, and it wasn't because of the heat or the constant hangover. It was because when I took the el from Evanston to Roscoe Village, I didn't just run into a few people headed my way. I ran into what appeared to be the entire city of Chicago drunk off their asses.
"The thing about Chicago," a friend said to me as we passed groups of Sox and Cubs fans staggering onto the train at Addison, "is that it packs all of it's shit into two months when the weather doesn't suck."
