Manage episode 483749574 series 3539558
Jon Hansen, host and executive producer of the Block Club Chicago Podcast, joins Bob Sirott to share the latest Chicago neighborhood stories. Jon has details on:
$50 Million, Adults-Only Magic Theater Coming To Former Lawry’s Prime Rib Downtown: The Hand & The Eye is slated for a spring 2026 opening. It will have 37 magic rooms, seven theaters, live jazz music and more.
Miko’s Italian Ice Facing Backlash After Worker Says She Was Fired For Masking: Owner Zach Roombos denied firing the employee, saying the encounter was a misunderstanding. The family-run shop is now facing “relentless harassment” online, he said.
Why Can’t Chicagoans Use E-Scooters After Midnight? Critics Slam City’s ‘Impossible’ Regulations: Though the city lifted a ban on overnight scooters last year, disagreements about how to prevent drunk riding have stalled plans — despite little evidence that drunk riding is an actual issue.
Dust Storm Friday Was City’s Worst Since 1930s, Weather Service Says: Storms on Friday sent dust from Central Illinois farms into the city. Chicago hasn’t seen a dust storm that significant since 1934, during the height of the Dust Bowl.
