More stuff worth reading...

So, I am now officially on the Chicagoist staff as a weekend blogger. I will be posting at least one thing each Saturday and Sunday. I don't have a beat per se, though I'd like to interject light green stories as much as possible. Send along suggestions. And if you haven't been clocking the site, here's what I've done lately:

• So An Aardvark Walks Into a Doctor's Office... Brookfield Zoo was all over the airways this week showing off a new CT scanner---but this is hardly the first time that human medical tools, technology, or professionals have been used to safeguard their animal collection.
  
• Double Dose of New Orleans Next Week: Treme & Galactic - Pretty straightforward...Saturday, great NOLA band hits the Vic, Sunday HBO's new show focuses on the Crescent City three months after Katrina. Should be fun!
  
• New Hope for Bronzeville - My hood took an ugly knock when a fire recently crisped one of the areas most promising commercial developments, but the 47th Street Market is coming back. (Includes my photo too.)
  
• Asian Carp's Religious Use - Passover is here. So is Gefilte fish...its made largely of carp...guess what fun follows...
  
• Obama No Threat to Fishing, But What About Asian Carp? Two of my favorite topics---crazy rightwing blog-fueled conspiracy theories and invasive species!

Watch the site and feel free to mark my work with a "like," if you...you know...like it.
