Chicago Police Misconduct: 'Repeater' Officers Account For Millions In City Payouts

  • Second City Cop must be all over this story, right? Right?

  • alex trebeck Ukrainian Village since 1990

    Fortunately, the IL Supreme Court just ended the prohibition against photographing cops. (The police sure didnt want that to happen.) The army of public camera phones should discourage some of the bad behavior, and will also help document those who cant help themselves.

Movie shooting at Thomas and Winchester

I see "No Parking" signs for a movie shoot this week at Thomas and Winchester in the East Village. Anyone know what it is?

Loading loading

  • Apparently there is a MTV reality show being filmed featuring MBAs who can't get jobs in Chicago. Secondly, there is another big production (name and who haven't been announced, but filming to start over the next week until 2013). Third Kelsey Grammer is shooting in and around Chicago.

  • NOYB like a good neighbor.....

    @Debbie seems to me that is over excessive no parking without any notice to the neighborhood. Must be very annoying and aggravating to deal with.

  • Monday morning you should call your Alderman and voice your concerns. Call 311 as well. The squeaky wheel gets the attention so the more calls the better!

  • By the way - I checked w/ CPD on this and they said there was nothing in the computer. Not sure what that means but perhaps it was residencial needing ambulance or peramedics. Nothing gang related I am hearing.
