I've been busy with Chicagoist. Since its weekend work, they have me doing all kinds of stuff...enviro...music...news...politics...sports:- Scott Lee Cohen For Governor Rumors Grow Louder - He won't go away. The weirdest political story in Illinois (that says a lot) might add a chapter soon...
- Could King James' Night on the Town Mean a Bulls Win? - Ummm...no...not even close enough to be wishful thinking... But it was fun conjecture before the game Sunday.
- Gender Bending Chemical in Illinois Water - Atrazine. Its nasty stuff. Coming from Springfield makes me all the more concerned...
- Hoosier State for Mercury? - Why do I care what they do in Indiana? Cuz we share a drinking water and air shed... And there's a lot of gross stuff going on that impacts both.
- Going Gobbler in Bronzeville - My neighborhood is not exactly a dining Mecca, so this concept is interesting.
- Free Asian Carp Dish from a Man on a Mission - The whole "eat 'em all" solution to the Asian carp issue gets bandied about a lot, but as near as I can tell only one guy in Chicago is trying do something with it... So I stopped into the Lockwood Restaurant and ate some raw invasive fish to see if we really can fix this problem with a knife and fork (a full two weeks before the Trib or NYT did the same, thank you).
- Asian Carp Take Over U of C and SCOTUS - I stumbled onto the University of Chicago's brilliant Earth Week posters featuring trident wielding carp hordes. Awesome.
- So awesome, in fact, that I also wrote about it on Switchboard - They Came from the Canal: Asian carp brilliance from U of C.
- Fish are central to my favorite post of late, FirstEnergy’s Bayshore Plant: A Real Live Bass-o-Matic! on Switchboard. An enviro homage to Dan Aykroyd and a coal plant that chews up 60+ million fish every year.
