The wildfire smoke is strong this morning with a AQI of 159. Immediately saw and smelled it stepping outside here in the Chicago area. Stay safe out there!
Love this video of friends doing a cocktail bar crawl on the Metra UP-W line. Reminded me of the crawls @starlinechicago.bsky.social coordinates on Metra lines. Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSveXARt/

Typical Friday night sipping on a martini and reviewing village concepts for a major street revamp for how to include bike pathways
Some of us run in spite of the pain it causes. Grandma's marathon 2026 is in the books!
