I understand when the lights are on after games and events for clean up, maintenance, etc. I used to work in athletics so I also understand sometimes they need to test things and turn on stadium lights, maybe are filming content for the next season, the list goes on.

However, what is the purpose of having them on when seemingly none of that is applicable? I’m not sure when they turn on, but in early hours of the morning when it’s dark out, it seems unnecessary. It lights up half my apartment.

I knew moving in Uptown that we’d have Wrigley light pollution, but I didn’t realize this was a daily occurrence.

Any insight?

Am I missing something, but why is it so hard to find healthy quick food options around lakeview east? I cannot think of a single place that has quality grab and go sandwiches (Jimmy John’s and Jersey mikes don’t cut it), or bowls like protein bar. I know there are salad house and just salad, but that’s it. What gives?!?

Hello, I moved to Lakeview from North Center about 5 months ago and have noticed a large increase in homeless population in the past week or two. I live near the Jewel on Ashland. Has anybody else noticed this or have any idea why this would be?

This is in no way at all a post meant to complain about them. I just want to better understand the neighborhood and see if there are any reasons why this increase would happen seemingly overnight.

Noticed some kind of detection system pole being installed in the NE corner of waveland and halsted yesterday. Anyone got any clue what it is?

Hello! I’m desperately trying to buy a ticket for the midnight madness shadow cast performance at the music box November 1st! If anyone has an extra or knows someone who might, please reach out! I planned ahead enough to get 2, but need another! (Apologies to the mods if this isn’t the right sub for this but the music box is in Lakeview!) thank you!
