What’s with the line of trucks driving up Harlem - several of them with Mexican flags?
At Touhy and Harlem there is a long line of semis flying Mexican flags with the CPD blocking traffic to let them through. What’s this about?

Tons of sirens and what seems like a police helicopter over Jeff Park.
Anybody know what’s going on?

NW side runners?!?! (Cross post)
NW Side Runners
I realize this is a longshot, but I am looking for people to run with insanely early (4-5am start) on weekday mornings in the Norwood Park area. Also which track do you all use over here? I have had some luck running before school at the Taft Freshman campus when my work schedule allows.(not often😢) It would be more likely to happen if I had people to run with. I will be training for Boston & may join the CARA or FF group but looking for other options! I realize there are 1 million run clubs in the city, but I can’t seem to find one near home or work that works with my schedule 🫠

What was going on at Harlem and Devon rail today??
I was stuck trying to get home where the train signal was going for a good 8+ minutes and still no train. I ended up skipping the tracks (I know I know but I had to get home). I have no idea if a train ever came or why this was going on. Traffic was INSANE in every direction!

Last night's PP shootings
shots fired last night at Montrose/Cicero and Pensacola/lamon/long/central. 2 SUVs chasing and shooting at each other. Lamon shots woke me up. And I was just defending Chicago...
