Chicago K9s for Cops

The 54-inch-tall fiberglass dog statues are part of the K9s for Cops campaign to pay tribute to the canine unit, honor fallen Chicago police officers, provide financial assistance to families of those wounded or killed in the line of duty, and raise money to support the spay and neuter program offered by PAWS Chicago.

Blue Line Fire

A Blue Line train derailled and caught fire. The train was shut down in both directions from Washington to Damen. The #56 bus, an alternate route, was packed and impossible to get on. This is everyone walking home on Milwaukee Avenue.

SMOKE! For the first time ever, it didn’t smell like chocolate by Blommer’s. It smelled like smoke. Is this where the Blue Line goes underground?

Smoke was pouring out of this vent. Is this where the Blue Line goes underground?
