Oh, and something else …

Although I am not a big drinker, I have heard since the move of Malört's reputation since the move in 2018. It was only a question of the legendary, Swedish -inspired digestif produced by Chicago to other foods, such as the New Maloric Sucks Candies.

They started as an April Fool's joke and were sold out within two hours after the start on Monday. The sweets for 6 US dollars per can and are now on the background for about four weeks.

My colleagues procured a can and asked unsuspecting tourists and locals at the Navy Pier to try the sweets.

Tell me something good …

Part of the Lincoln Square was closed for vehicle traffic Last week, and I wondered what changes would you make in your neighborhood if you gave a chance?

John writes:

“My idea of ​​improving my neighborhood follows the heels of the (temporary) closure of the Lincoln Square. I would like to close the Walton Street between Dearborn and Clark for vehicle traffic.

This block runs between the Newberry Library and the Washington Square Park. From time to time, it is temporarily completed for a Newberry event like the Bughouse Square, which is discussing the library to the HOST library. The lock would offer the possibility to expand the park, as by adding a playground or a dog park (complete disclosure: I am a dog owner and my laboratory Ruby and I can be found regularly in the Washington Square Park – we both on a leash!). The closure of the Walton Street would create the opportunity to beautify the entrance to the Newberry Library. It is a beautiful building and deserves to really shine not to have the 22 and 70 buses idling. “

Thanks for the answers this week! It was great to hear all her ideas.
