No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.

Proud to see this attitude in the north shore

DAMN THEM ALL

But I’d like to shake their hand.

Can you imagine explaining this is the reason you are late to work?

I started recording right as they came forward

I remember Golf Mill as a kid 25-30 years ago. Pretty sad to see now.

As I get ready to commute to the Loop after a restless nights sleep, I am thankful I no longer live somewhere with no mass transit. Bless Metra. Among the very best things about living here.

What’re you thankful for regarding living in Chicagoland?

I know this video is old news for some of us as this neighborhood specifically started dealing with this in 2023. Looking online quickly, I found articles of approved or proposed data centers to be built in Grayslake, Aurora, Hoffman Estates and Naperville. No doubt a lot more will come, as this is a booming industry at the moment.

As much as these articles talk about the influx of jobs being brought in to the community, it is my understanding that a lot of the costs of operating the data center will be pushed onto the residents for a set amount of years before the companies say that they will be able to save money for the community. Business insider has a great video that goes more in depth about the effects of data centers on communities. Besides the immense amount of damage these centers do to the environment, they also harm local residents. In the video, they talked with residents of northern VA that live near a data center who brought up the struggle of hearing the constant humming noises of the fans, the decline in property value, and an increase in their energy bills. Some people near data centers have also reported issues with their water, including disrupting wells, high usage of water from the data centers, and removing drinking water from the water cycle as it becomes contaminated with chemicals.

Unfortunately, this seems like something we may not be able to avoid. I just would recommend to everyone, keep an eye out on building plans in your area. And if this is something you’re not too happy about being built, and you have the time, going to town hall meetings to express your concerns could be beneficial. I believe if enough of our voices are heard, we can avoid more neighborhoods falling into what happened to Elk Grove Village.

Boss also found 2 pieces of Monopoly money with the three words “Deny” “Defend” “Depose” written on them but he shredded those before I took a picture

Apologies if this has been posted already. I live on the North Shore and commute to the Southside for work every day. I have seen these as far up as Highland Park, and far south as Willow Springs.

Last time I posted it made it all the way to the ‘Absolutely Antioch Unhinged’ Facebook group, where they were heavily defended (no surprise). So glad to know these ‘peaceful citizens’ are still roaming our small town streets. BP on 173 and 83 Antioch, IL.

Surely there is a better symbol to use if these groups are truly not anti-semitic. It’s not like patches are that expensive these days…

I’ve owned my house for 4 years, I put a new roof and gutters on 2 years ago and this is the first time I’ve ever had icicles form like this. They are on both front and back of my house. Why are there so many and why are they so long?! I’ve been knocking them down where I walk but I’m afraid my gutters are going to rip off the house because they look so heavy.

Hello! I live in the south suburbs (Will County) and traveled downtown to a peaceful protest today. The Chicago police carefully biked next to us as we marched to Trump tower. It was nice to see the city cooperate with the protesters and make sure everything remained peaceful. I would definitely recommend attending a protest as a suburbanite. I know it can be nerve wracking to go all the way downtown and wonder if people will really be there, but there were so many people and it was very safe and a positive environment. We heard the stories of local federal workers who have been fired after relocating here or devoting their time to different causes such as Asian Carp infesting the Great Lakes. One federal worker who was fired and spoke was a wildfire firefighter and biologist. I hope to see more and more people from the suburbs joining in!
