Eh, as a Chicago resident, we just eat the same normal thin pizza the rest of the world does - the deep dish stuff is only for the tourists.

Newsy's 'transformational' approach to video aggregation (considered to be on the borderline of theft by many legacy media companies) is a really interesting purchase for a media company like Scripps, which was founded in the

I live right around the corner from the original Intelligentsia store here in Chicago and even without shipping, the ~11% tax we have here is a killer on my expensive coffee habit.

I got to fly back-seat in an F-16 once for 53 minutes and managed to handle a 9.2 G turn and I'm not a pilot or a drone. The first 10 minutes of the flight were amazing, the next 30 were incredible, the next 10 were meh, and the last
