Moments that give every
Chicagoan anxiety |
 |

1. When you learn e-scooters are coming back to your neighborhood.
Good luck dodging those 15mph human missiles.
2. Spending the entire month of October waiting for the temperature to drop.
Will it ever be warm again?

Hope you have an extra $100 in your bank account!
