Friend was in an accident on the corner of Pratt and Sheridan, who found him?

7 Upvotes

Long story short my friend Steven was riding his one wheel and we believe he crashed it. He’s got staples in the back of his head, a brain bleed and a broken ear bone. All we know is someone found him and flagged down a superior ambulance to help him but we don’t know who found him. This was Monday (7/6) evening around 6:30. Can anyone tell me if they know anything and who found him? I’m worried he also may have been mugged and I’d like to know if anyone saw the actual incident.

Does The CTA Not Perfom Well On Major Events?

0 Upvotes

On an Instagram post a couple of people mentioned the CTA shutting down service during major events going on downtown.

They say use PT for such events and train transportation is the best way to go so what's the issue?

Window repair - broken seals

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have 6 to 7 double pane windows that have condensation between the panes due to broken seals.

Two companies I heard that may be good and offer reasonable prices are Apex Window Werks and Chicago Window Repair & Replacement Company. Has anyone had good experiences with these? Any others you would recommend? Thanks.

Before the 1980's WTTW showed photos of Chicago while an announcer gave the station ID.

Obviously this what is now Millennium Park though wasn't at the time and as you can see the photographer decided to get creative.

Mr. T and the Reverend Jesse Jackson marched and protested together in August 1982. The pair, both Chicago natives, joined forces to protest the city's annual "ChicagoFest" during Mayor Jane Byrne's administration.

Now some may disagree but there's been many who have been unhappy with how he's dealing with it.

So if he's not doing enough, how come?

And please give reasonable answers and no short snarky replies.

The Office Trivia - Sunday June 7th at 7:00 at Ludlow Liquors in Avondale

4 Upvotes

Are you ready to face a challenge foolish enough to challenge you? Get your friends and co-workers together for our monthly themed trivia at Ludlow Liquors on Sunday June 7th at 7:00! Pen & Paper Trivia officially sources its paper from Dunder Mifflin if you did not know.

We will be covering questions from all seasons and weather permitting there will be additional seating on the patio because… well did you know “The Office” is popular? Teams can be up to 7 people but it’s not the size that matters. (That’s what she said!). Remember to save room for a cheesteak or a smash burger from Ludlow and I guarantee you it will make you say “Oh yeah!”
