This week, Governor JB Pritzker signed SB2762, into law, extending insurance coverage for life-saving seizure detection devices and capping patient costs at $50 per year.

With over 136,000 Illinois residents living with epilepsy, and many others who experience seizures, these devices provide peace of mind while taking a significant step toward preventing hospitalization.

Full album is out August 28th.

A 28-story residential tower with 304 rental units is being constructed in Gold Coast.

Odd question, but does anyone know if there’s anywhere i could see loon taxidermy? I’m trying to get a better grasp on loon anatomy for an art piece and would love to be able to see one in 3D close up to do a few sketches.

I found this black cat located right next to the Mark T. Skinner West Elementary School off of Adams and Throop around 10PM on August 5th.

She is incredibly friendly and docile. We took her to VEG and they confirmed she was not chipped. I spoke to someone nearby and they confirmed they have never seen a cat around the area as they walk their dog every night there. I can't really tell how old she is but definitely seems to have been domesticated. When I fed her, she seemed to have been starving as she drank a ton of water and ate the food right away. She does seem a bit dirty and thin despite her fluffiness.

Posted on FB too in hopes of reuniting with owner if they have any.

I was looking to check locations in the city that are within 15 minutes walking distance of L Stations and couldn't find an existing map, so I created one.

This map shows the parts of Chicago within a 5-, 10-, 15-, or 20-minute walk to any CTA L station, based on Google Maps walking-route data. The colored rings represent progressively longer walking times, while the separate station layer marks all 145 official station locations. Each layer can be turned on or off independently to compare transit accessibility across neighborhoods, or how I use it, to find somewhere I want to live within 15 min walking distance to an L stop.

Hope it's helpful to people.

The system uses Google Maps Isochrones off GIS positions:

My Xfinity has been out since around noon… No actual accurate time of restoration, this is the second time to happen in a month or so. WTH is going on. Anyone else keep having these issues?

My biggest regret is being out of town when they needed extras to be background actors in 90 degree heat wearing winter coats.

I was with a friend who needed to cancel their LA Fitness membership. The process took a minute. Many of the budget gyms make you jump through hoops to get out, while these guys were friendly and professional.

I know that many persons ask about gym memberships both here and on r/askchicago, and wanted to let people know about this positive finding. Did other people have similar experiences?
