Lovie Smith was fired @ 10-6. In 9 seasons w/Smith, Bears made the playoffs 3 times, won 3 NFC North division titles (2005, 2006, & 2010), and reached the Super Bowl. Only Bears coaches w/ more wins than Smith are Halas & Ditka. Lovie Smith was fired @ 10-6….

The Bears are the 1st NFL team w/a Black Prez, GM, HC & QB1. In a league that once banned Black players—including Fritz Pollard, the 1st Black NFL player & a CPS grad—it’s worth noting. Thomas Brown is now tasked w/fixing what he didn’t break. He’s got a fan in me. Wishing him

People like to commit crimes in places where 1) they’ll get away with it & 2) there aren’t many people. You know what makes public transit safe? Increased ridership. Actually having the system utilized & people on it reduces crime. You know what increases ridership? Reliability.

Anyone with a heart, will look at what has happened with Chicago teens for the last 2 nights and feel disgusted, upset and pissed off. Anyone with a brain, will look at it and realize that we can’t continue on this way. Our city is only as safe as our least safe child.

Jean Baptiste Point du Sable is known as the Founder of Chicago. This itty bitty hidden statue is our tribute to him. A big legacy deserves a bigger statue. I got an idea...😉

The lack of attention being paid to CTA service by decision makers is troubling. We deserve a safe, clean and accessible public transit system. I’ve been a CTA rider for 30+ years and it’s pretty bad today. A quarter of Chicagoans don’t have cars. There are solutions.

Some Chicago media outlets are pursuing some very interesting angles. -Just a few weeks ago a TV news station reported that a Northside neighborhood that has existed since the 1850s was “destroyed” by Chicago teens.

Public transit is an intersectional indicator of our priorities. Show me a mass transit system that doesn’t feel safe & I’ll show you a city that doesn’t feel safe. Show me a mass transit system that is filled with unhoused people & I’ll show you a city with a housing issue.
