Voter intimidation at Roden Library?

I heard yesterday that CPD has been called twice to the Roden Library early voting site, because of MAGA types harassing voters/ creating a scene.

Any truth to this, and have any other sites had problems?

Columbia Care

Am I the only one? Are the employees at the Jefferson Park location not up to speed on products? Especially the ones they are selling. Im literally schooling them on their own products. They overprice everything because of the discounts they offer. So what's the point of the discount then? Wrong items constantly given, need to triple check all their work. Is it like this everywhere??

Quarters?

Where do you guys get your rolls of quarters? I live in bucktown Humboldt area and I’m tired of walking to jewel and sometimes never being able to get any. I hate my landlord for installing fucking quarter operated laundry machines. Literally $1.50 in quarters to wash and then another to dry. Coins are kinda hard to come by nowadays it’s the 21st century

Pick-up basketball

Hey neighbors! I’m in the NW side, near Elmwood Park, is anyone aware of good pick-up basketball gyms nearby? I plan on doing a grand tour of all the nearest spots this weekend, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Torii gate near Harwood Heights/Oriole Park?

While driving home (and being distracted by the giant rainbow!) I'm pretty sure I glimpsed a torii gate somewhere near Summerdale and Canfield? Help! I thought for sure I'd be able to find it on Google street view but I'm coming up empty!
