Surveillance cameras aren't all that
Video surveillance cameras have been growing in popularity for years, but in recent weeks their advance has gotten a turbo boost. After helping to identify two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, the cameras went from occasionally desirable to...Tags: Rahm Emanuel, Michael Bloomberg, Crime, Law and Justice, Sports, Boston Marathon Bombing (2013)

It's about time Cubs played a little hardball

Will school massacre spur real change in gun laws?
By Tuesday, the argument over gun control had almost vanished from my Facebook feed. Gone were the passionate gun-related posts that had dominated Facebook since Friday, when a man walked into a Connecticut grade school, pulled the trigger on a semi-...

Wrigley Field would make a great coliseum
If Cubs owner Tom Ricketts actually made good on his threat to leave Wrigley Field for a more baseball-friendly neighborhood, what would be the best use of the site at Clark and Addison? My plan? Flatten and grade it, then enclose it in cyclone fence and...

Toned down 'Today Show' hits Chicago
Big picture, not much went right for the “Today Show's” planned broadcast from Chicago this week. First, terrible, significant news happened in Oklahoma, meaning stars Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie would never make it to the live location...

Daley settles (not entirely) into life as a regular Chicagoan
