Welcome back to reality. We hope your holiday weekend was restful and rewarding. Today, we look at CPD’s big picture response to DNC protests, Stateville workers rallying against the planned prison closure, and more.
Hey Chicago, we know it’s a holiday but one of the reasons we launched Daily Chicagoan is to get outside, explore this city more deeply and feel closer to this great community we live in. Though Labor Day is a welcome time to relax, what better way to chill out than to touch grass and do something around town?
