Do you support recalling a Chicago Mayor?

 This recent post by CapFax talks about the current movement to recall a Chicago Mayor and the history of such a movement.

Chiberia and warming centers

Current temp at time of publication 

Been cold out there for at least the last two days or so. Here's an obligatory notice about warming centers if you're having difficulty keeping your house warm.

You can check this page from the City of Chicago regarding the city's warming centers.

You can always call 3-1-1 for these reasons listed on that page:

• If you are seeking a warm place to go after hours.
• To request a shelter placement.
• To request a well-being check for seniors and unhoused neighbors.
• To report inadequate heat in a residential building.

Stay warm. And of course spring is just about two months away! 

Hotel Florence walkthrough

 

[VIDEO] I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and right now it's very cold outside. It snowed yesterday morning and current temp as I write this post is 13°F. I hope you're staying warm.

If you're on your computer or even if you're able to see this on your "iPhone" - well any phone where you could surf the internet will do - you can warm up with this video.

I've always been fascinated by the Hotel Florence which I would frequently drive by when shopping at the Pullman Walmart. It would be cool if it was a functional hotel again, however, these days it's more or less a tourist attraction.

This YouTube channel known as Regal - South Side Metra Man goes on a tour of this historic building. Of course Pullman which is a nat'l monument is known for it's historic architecture and the history as a planned community and company town. And it's located right here in the 9th Ward on the far south side of Chicago.

Has anyone reading this toured this building and share their thoughts on it?
