Attn Chicago: What do you know about this sign? 🤔 It was posted on the side of a currency exchange at Richmond & Grand forever, and now it’s gone. Researching for a story; any/all leads & info are appreciated. TYIA! #honestyisstillinstyle #humboldtpark #chicago

I recently dusted off my reporter's notebook, hit the streets, and learned there's way more to this beloved sign than meets the eye. (Spoiler alert: opiates addiction, divorce, and an FBI investigation — which didn't even make it to the final draft.) In Sunday's NYT Magazine (!).

is my account's recent hacking a subtle nudge that I should a) actually use twitter, or b) delete it?

(I don't know what's better: the awkwardly sexual anime talking head that replaced my own for about 48 hours, or the fact that the culprit updated my bio to: "here for a good time.")

it's lunchtime and I have a bone to pick with Foxtrot, with can usually do no wrong: what happened to the beloved farro veggie bowl? it's been "replaced" by a pile of wilty arugula, a few tomatoes, strips of parm, a disproportionate amount of dressing, & a $10 price tag.

(I never tweet anymore, yet was moved to do so by my disappointment in the thursday lunch ritual that I've come to love & look forward to.)

A graffitied door leads to an all-day coffee shop/eatery that you can't miss. A new book by Lauren Viera has the tea on the city's best cafes ... and a lot more. trib.al/jiZ1lqH
