Roaming dog

Hi, I spotteded a brown husky with a collar outside my work on California and 15th

I tried really hard to catch it because it had a collar, but it wouldn’t come to me. I called in to 311, but it didn’t seem like a priority

I followed it for about 20 minutes until I lost track of it at 2100 S Marshall Blvd. I hope this helps someone find their dog

Hit and run

Hello everyone! My girlfriend's car was hit parking during Sunday 9/1 and Monday 9/2 by the Starbucks in Chinatown. It's a white sedan. I am devastated for her since she just spent a couple thousands on repairing the car.

I was wondering if anyone witnessed anything or have footage of when that happened. I also wanted to ask if the surrounding buildings generally would give us the footage if we asked (no idea how this works, it's our first time).

Thanks for your help!

Question: Are there any lots/areas where a teenager can practice driving before becoming a menace on the street?

My wife was telling me back in the day, her dad used to take her to some of the White Sox Parking Lots to have her just get used to the car and drive around. I believe the lots are all blocked off now, so I don't think that's an option. Anyone else have any advice on where I could take a teenager out to start?

Dive bar 31st street

Anyone remember the kind of divey bar on 31st street that had a fish as their emblem. It was in between Ferro’s and Franco’s. Trying to remember then name. My friend got into the wife swapping lifestyle because of a night he spent there.

Tree service for firewood.

Anyone in the area have trees they need take down or have fallen trees from the storms? Looking to build my firewood supply for fall and winter. The service for the wood, no money.

Help us learn about bilingual language perception?

Hello! My name is Jennifer; I am a graduate student at Northwestern University. I am hoping to learn about the experiences of Spanish-English bilingual speakers from Chicago. I am specifically interested in understanding what information affects how we hear speech and am currently inviting participants for a language perception study considering that question. Participants will receive a $20 digital gift card of their choice for completion of the study.

Participation takes about thirty minutes and can be completed remotely. It involves listening to speech and identifying what you heard as well as completing a follow-up questionnaire about your impressions of the speakers and your language background.

If would be interested, please visit this link to sign-up: https://northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6yaA2XN0AzAWso6 . You can also message me here or contact me via email (jdibbern@u.northwestern.edu) with questions or for more information!

Leads to 1 or 2 bedroom apartment under $1100

Does anyone have any leads to a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in the area? I’ve been looking on craigslist, Zillow, and other rental sites regularly, however, I am having trouble finding things within my price range. Thank you!

https://preview.redd.it/8re2i72xj3ra1.png?width=560&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfa22e490d31de9b8455e2ca281a85a26eee8472

Dr. Cope Feurer (PhD) at the University of Illinois at Chicago is conducting a study on social interactions, brain responses, and emotions in teenage girls. We are looking for adolescent girls between the ages of 13 and 15 with a family history of depression to participate in a study at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Adolescents and their participating parent will complete psychiatric interviews and complete questionnaires at a screening visit. Additionally, adolescents will complete some tasks while their brain waves and heartbeat are recorded. Adolescents will also complete an fMRI scan to non-invasively measure brain function, brief surveys throughout the day on a phone app for 14 days, and 3 virtual follow-up assessments involving interviews and questionnaires across 12 months. Families will be compensated up to $275 for their participation in the study.

If you would like to learn more about the study or are interested in participating, please visit https://redcap.link/TeenEmotionStudy. Alternatively, you can call us at (312) 355-1106 or email us at feurer@uic.edu. Please specify that you are calling about the Teens, Emotions, and Social Interactions Study.

Saw this article in Block Club about the Ramova renovation. https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/03/24/bridgeports-ramova-theatre-could-debut-this-year-as-concert-venue-restaurant-and-brewery/

Was wondering if anyone has heard rumors about which brewery will be in it? Saw this article from last year. https://fromthe108.com/2022/01/11/ramova-grill-brewery-who-will-it-be/

Best way to watch for local shows and events?

We have all sorts of cool little venues around here, but they’re generally not getting their events listed at, like, TimeOut, the Reader, or the South Side Weekly. Other than keeping an eye out for flyers, are there good places to check to see what’s going on?

Recommendation for Small, Private Even Space in the Area?

Hello All,

I'm looking to rent a space for a baby shower, nothing too huge, about 15 people plus or minus. I've looked at the Tack Room at Thalia Hall but am sure there are other options I'm missing. Obviously would prefer to spend less rather than more. Any suggestions? Thank you!
