Go Skate Kabul Day
On Tuesday, the longest day of the year, over 180 kids in Kabul got together in the park to be… kids. Go Skateboarding Day is an international holiday meant to celebrate the great sport of, you guessed it, skateboarding. It’s celebrated here in the states, it’s celebrated in Europe and it’s celebrated in Afghanistan. As [...]

Support Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign in Chicago
The Chicago Neighborhood Bikeway Campaign is working hard to make Chicago safer for bicyclists with over 100 miles of protected bike paths throughout the city by 2015. The first of these, on Kinzie, will be going in soon. For me, I like riding in the streets, the implied danger gets the heart racing a little [...]

Lagunitas Zephyr, Stone Dinner & Logan Square Free Concerts
I’m so bloody tired all the time lately it’s driving me up a slippery wall. I’ve had to learn the hard way that, despite my doctor’s recommendations, I apparently can’t replace a 6 hour R.E.M. cycle with pure amphetamine salts and vick’s vapor inhalors. That’s the last time I trust a surgeon I meet at [...]

Goose Island may sell beer & wine at Pritzker Pavilion concerts
Just saw this article on the Trib’s blog, and was nearly very angry at Goose Island and the city for fouling up something that’s been as much fun as I can remember having at a free event in this city. Luckily I read all the way through and the last line made the whole thing [...]
More Info On Possible Chicago 24-Hour Skate Park
Ever since Daley was cited in an article a few weeks ago bragging about an 24-hour, indoor skate park at 16th & Clark I’ve been trying to find out more information on this project and just who to badger in order to see that this goes through. As I learn more I’ll post it here, [...]

Chicago’s first protected bicycle lane to be installed on Kinzie Street
Chicago’s first protected bicycle lane to be installed on Kinzie Street Cycle tracks separate bicyclists from motor vehicle traffic typically by using a divider such as a construction barrier, a concrete planter box or a raised median placed to the left of the bikes-only lane. (For this pilot project, flexible posts will be installed.) A [...]
Evil Twin & Mikkeller: Yin & Yang Release Night @ Bavarian Lodge
Thank filthy Jesus that Chicago Craft Beer Week is over. It was great and full of great beer, but my aging corpus can’t take an 8 day bender like it used to. But, it was awesome. Certainly, one of the best parts for me was breaking from my well-worn routine and finding new places to [...]
