Chicago News March 12th 09

Sears Tower Renamed – When Katrina and I moved to Chicago, we drove up I-55 and were scrolling through the radio stations when we came across 93.9 WLIT. For those unaware, my nickname through college was WLIT (pronounced will-it) so it was pretty sweet seeing that on the radio the day we moved to town playing some of my favorite songs. Well, starting this summer the Sears Tower is being renamed the Willis Tower. What ‘chou talkin’ bout WILLIS!?! Maybe they’ve saved the penthouse at the top for us. Of course, we’ll need the help of our local Chicagoans to make sure the name sticks…(currently its not looking promising…)
Daley Laments – Mayor Daley, under investigation with unlawful fundraising connections to the Hispanic Democratic Organization, received word that the city of Chicago was to receive $1 BILLION dollars as a part of the stimulus plan. He said the money was “better than nothing.” BETTER THAN NOTHING!?!? Somebody pay off my school loans with the scraps, please. I’ll even take $10 for a dinner tonight with my goreous wife.
Good News for Dogs n’ Cats – Alderman decided to take their time listening to Bob Barker. Time to get out of town you love animals!
And that’s it! Have a great one everyone!
