News item: It gets cold in Chicago
News item: City parking meters freeze up
(Crain’s) — The city’s newly privatized parking meters weren’t prepared for Chicago’s first cold snap.
Some of the new parking meter kiosks operated by LAZ Parking (Ok, was that really a good choice for the name of the company? Was that the first decision they made at their first meeting around the conference table, and it all went downhill from there? Just askin... Ed.) under a controversial lease deal that has already experienced operating difficulties froze up overnight as temperatures plunged into the single digits.

EXACTLY how I remember Bangkok
News item: City wants high-rise crane removed
No work has been done on the planned 90-story building since last year, and now it stands as a shell about 27 stories tall at the southwest corner of Wacker and Clark.

Da Mare: Bilandic Lite?
At least in Bilandic's case it took an actual phokking blizzard to bring him down.
Residents (Fung?) demand: plow my block
"Isn't this supposed to be Chicago, the city that works?. . . Works my foot!"*
Matt SMIFF, spokesman for the city's department of Streets and Sanitation, defended the city's plowing of side streets. He said city crews hit the side streets three times last week, the third time Saturday night to spread salt to handle the arctic weather. The city was planning to plow side streets after rush hour Tuesday night, depending on how the latest winter storm evolved.
The city, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Tollway all had their full fleets of trucks out to handle Tuesday's storm, which produced up to four inches of snow. Freezing rain was expected overnight, with more snow forecast for today.
"People need to understand the weather we had was exceptionally harsh," said Smiff (LAME... Ed.), who said city residents can call 311 to report problems on their streets. . .
* Sounds like a sanitized version. What she probably actually said: "Isn't dis 'sposed to be Chicago, Da City Dat Works? My phokking @SS!"
