The tweet I shared with you over the weekend was taken down and another tweet had a new flyer with a list of 49 stations to get free gas on March 24, 2022. I'm sharing the actual graphic and the tweet. On Wilson's FB page #50 is listed as BP station on 17460 Kedzie, I presume this is somewhere in the south suburbs.
On March 24, 2022 starting at 7:00 AM you can go to 50 locations actually to the graphic contained in the tweet people I see only 47 anyway you get $50 worth of free gasoline. At these 50 stations while supplies last well at least $1 million dollars of supply total among those 50 gas stations you can take advantage of this giveaway.

[VIDEO] I've been wanting to share this event before it occurred for a while and then when I thought about it again it was today - OOPS!
Anyway, you might have gotten an email blast from Ald. Beale which shared a flyer to this event which is to take place in Pullman today. Taste to Go is a number of Taste of Chicago style events to take place around the city. It's cool that one such event takes on our part of town.
WGN shares a short story about this event.
Will be taking place June 17, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Pullman Community Center located at 10355 S. Woodlawn. Also from the email from the Ald. Anthony Beale's office

The flyer here you may have seen in a recent e-mail blast from Ald. Anthony Beale's office. This event will happen on Friday at the Dollar Tree Parking Lot located on 209 E. 103rd Street. Across from the Burger King and Churches. Open to anyone who is in need of support. Refer to flyer below

Tour the site of the Great Pullman Strike on its 125th anniversary https://t.co/IxFHGZDoQo pic.twitter.com/NkOtsl9jWh— Curbed Chicago (@curbedchicago) July 5, 2019
Labor history tends to get short shrift in history books.WTTW has more on the history of this strike in 1894 with regards to the perfect company town that was Pullman.
The Pullman National Monument Preservation Society, created by Barack Obama’s presidential proclamation in 2015, is trying to change that. During the Great Pullman Strike’s 125th anniversary, the group is giving guided tours each month through October.
...
The next tour is scheduled for July 13 at noon. Admission is $25, and each ticket includes post-tour reception and dessert.
