Maybe Mr. Emanuel will hold on; the political establishment behind him is still strong. But maybe not. If nothing else, 2015 has seen that establishment shaken by a new movement — not just for justice and racial equality, but for a final end to Chicago’s divided existence.

Gapers Block Holiday Party
Polaroid SLR 680SE / Impossible PX-680 Color Protection 11*12
Good times were had. All that was left at the end of the night were some stickers some cookies and an empty Schlitz can.
Blast from the past: One of the very first mockups of Gapers Block, from late March/early April of 2003. Back before we had the section names figured out, and back before Andrew pointed out to Naz that the Chicago flag’s stars have six points, not five.
Heady days. What an amazing 10 years it’s been.
A post from 2013 on Gapers Block’s 10th anniversary.
Chicago rings in the New Year on N Michigan Ave, 1982.
Generally speaking, Gapers Block is a site of, by, and for Chicago. It's not the first thing to be of, by, and for the city, but it's been the first of its kind, and it's held up remarkably well. In the Internet age, a time of broad societal dissociation and particularly difficult transformation for media, Gapers Block has been here to help usher the city into a digital realm, and yet to do so in a way which has stayed essentially Chicago. For as much as so many people feel disconnected today, our city's self-image has arguably grown even larger, as epitomized by arguably the most prevalent icon in Chicago today being the six-pointed star. Even in a time of mass gentrification, food deserts, a school system in broad collapse, and an era of unprecedented exposure of violence, it seems as though, somehow more than ever before, Chicago coheres.

Merry Christmas from the Merchandise Mart, 1958, Chicago
Drake's single "Hotline Bling" has been a favorite for the students this year — far more popular than the traditional holiday songs, said teacher Breonna Scott.

CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY BOUGHT THIS PICASSO PAINTING, AND WANTS TO CHOP IT UP AND GIVE OUT THE PIECES
Cards Against Humanity is offering its customers a chance to vote on what should happen to the painting: donate it to the Art Institute of Chicago, or “laser-cut it into 150,000 tiny squares and send everyone their own scrap of a real Picasso.”
Oh god, no.
The threat is better art than the painting
im pro cutting up shit art. even good art. for marketing‘s sake
Just two words. Hear me out.

StoryCorps Chicago: "Christmas for Me Has Always Been a Time of Great Loss--and Victory"
To be clear: I don’t object to CPD investigating threats. But there’s a right way this could have been done, especially in light of their claim that they had been watching “me” on video for the last half mile. If an officer had approached me calmly with one hand on a holstered weapon and one in the air, asking for a chat, I wouldn’t be complaining. Unfortunately, the best they could do was to wave guns and scream like they collectively needed an exorcist.

Redmoon, the theatrical production company known for elaborate public spectacles often featuring large-scale puppets and unlikely mechanical contraptions, is closing...
"It was a difficult decision," Lasko said. "In the end, we couldn’t see being able to create enough revenue to support the kind of public work we were committed to creating. Rather than scale back and pull out of that space and shrink down, we thought it had more integrity to close up and celebrate what we’ve been able to do."

How To Predict Bad Cops In Chicago
The “few bad apples” theory of police violence posits that a small portion of the police force is ill-intentioned or inclined to misconduct or violence, while the majority of officers are good cops. Until recently, this theory was difficult for civilians to investigate, but department data on complaints against officers obtained through a legal challenge shows that police misconduct in Chicago is overwhelmingly the product of a small fraction of officers and that it may be possible to identify those officers and reduce misconduct.
