Chicago’s new river cleaning boat!

I’m writing about the Chicago River on the Windy Citizen! My beat this quarter is the river, so I figured, heck, I’m finding lots of extra neat stuff. I should post about it somewhere.

Fun!

From In Search of the Tamale Guy, by Elizabeth Winkowski:

“Tamales! Tamales!” A quiet, persistent cry cuts through the din at the Rainbo Club early the next Saturday night. Behind the beer taps, a stage with ornate, white, polished-wood columns and a black velvet curtain suggest the bar’s former glory as a strip club — and favorite haunt of Nelson Algren.

I love Chicago.
