Chicago

My family spent three days in your wonderful city. We did the touristy things, kept the hotel window open ("Chicago Fire, Med, and PD are all live right now!" I exclaimed to my wife as the 5th fire engine of the early, early morning sang its equally-weary song. She was not amused.)

The Shedd is still under construction, the Museum of Science and Industry is amazing, the Bean/Cloud Gateway is shiny, and Rossi's is my new favorite dive bar.

Thank you, Chicago, for the trains and the easy walking. Uber drivers - you guys and gals and non-gendered folks are simply the best at getting through a congested city while showing almost no stress. You are machines. My love and all the custom $10 tips.

Join us at Downer's Grove library to assemble signs and stickers for the DSA rally on Saturday in Wheaton.

And of course it's the 6 from the 90s.

Way to go Chicago! This was really great to see! I'm glad we are taking care of our neighbors.

The key thing here is that they're planning to detain anybody who happens to be in the vicinity but who can't prove citizenship on the spot.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Transit Authority is no longer using its main accounts the social media platform X.

The agency confirmed to ABC7 Friday that two of their accounts are no longer active on the site formerly known as Twitter.

The CTA and CTA service alerts X accounts now have disclaimers saying they are no longer active.

The CTA released the following statement Friday:

"After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@cta) and service alerts (@ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders. The @CTARPM account on X.com is unaffected and will continue to provide project information and updates through the remainder of project work. For real-time service information, CTA riders are encouraged to sign up for our subscription alerts available via text/email, which can be customized to provide information for preferred routes. For the occasional CTA riders, real-time service alerts will continue to available at transitchicago.com."

No further information about the agency's decision to leave the social media site was immediately available.
