Im not pretending to be an expert in city planning but lowering the default limit seems like a good place to start.
People still driving crazy? Advocate for a camera(both replies i got said it was the only way it’s enforced and I agree, and lets not bring a cop with a gun into every speeding violation), or for traffic calming devices(speed bumps, narrowing streets with bollards, etc) . If you make it harder to speed on side streets people are going to go back to the thoroughfares as it should be and enforcing those lower limits elsewhere becomes less of an issue.
I’m just spitballing.
Sad to see these guys are closing their doors. Apparently they never bounced back post COVID, too bad, I enjoyed most of their offerings that I've tried.
Maybe I should be drinking more beer, you know to save the local economy... 🤷

Lumpen Radio and International Anthem are doing a really interesting 24hr broadcast on Lumpen featuring some local (and not) heavyweights, like Star Creature and Numero, starting tonight at midnight and ending with a live preference by two local jazz giants; Damon Locks and Rob Mazurek, tomorrow night at 9.
Some local record shops will also be broadcasting it in store as well( including, 606, pinwheel, reckless, and more)
Should be a good listen 📻
From the email:
TOMORROW IS LISTENING will be available on terrestrial FM radio in the Chicago area via Lumpen Radio (105.5 FM); but more importantly, we have a growing list of independent record shops across the globe who will be tuning in.
That means: you can properly participate in this special day by leaving your solo reality tunnel, heading out IRL and listening to this broadcast in the community of friends and fellow music lovers at the cultural/communal sanctuary of your local record shop. The list of shops who will be tuned to the broadcast gets bigger by the minute.
It sounds like the plan is to keep the ride short and cool down after with a dip in the lake so come prepared 🏊
It's gonna be a hot one tomorrow! The high is going to be around 100 at 3pm and it will likely still be in the mid-to-high 90s when we roll, stay safe, stay hydrated!

Nubya Garcia, she's part of the blossoming London scene right now. She's the real deal, no doubt about it. I had the incredible experience of seeing her play live last summer in Chicago and its was phenomenal.
Her Tiny Desk is one of the best. Source, the lead track, is probably my favorite of her's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIZikaOTDE
A French station, amazing! TSF is definitely going into the rotation. I'll be checking out KCSM later today as well, California seems to have a pretty healthy jazz radio scene, love to see it.
Thanks for the shares!
Oh nice, just added it to Foobar, thank you! I'll have to check out some of Jose's programs later, "Bop, Straight Ahead" sounds promising.
…Damn, thats making me feel like I finally need to try it.
Ive been here 4 years and still haven’t mustered up the courage(not really a take-a-shot guy myself). I see the chicago handshake all over the city too, maybe next time I’m out and craving an old style I’ll check it off the list.
Chiming in with Catnip. I grow it for my cats, Its a super easy grow(mints just seem to be easy plants). They love hanging around it and eating the leaves and flowers. If you have cats its definitely worth a try!
Ive heard of people using it in teas as well but I’ve never tried.
Love the fire escape shelves.

I really enjoyed the Sweet Roll I joined in July, their next ride is coming up latter this month and I can't wait to see what they have planned this time around. I still have dreams about the almond croissant from Bitter Sweet.
BFF starts up their fall brewery rides later this month(the 22nd) as well, I'm going to try to make it to at least one of these before it gets too cold! (https://www.bffbikes.com/events/9/22/september-22-brewery-crawl)
I'll be posting about both again as they get closer.
