Nothing like variety in your daily newspapers. “Chicago woman charged with hitting trooper on Dan Ryan” (actually running her over) is of the 12500 block of South Wallace, says Chi Trib. That’s 125th Street, or 125 blocks from Madison Street, give or take a few. The same reckless woman is of the 1200 block of South Kostner, says Sun-Times. That’s roughly 12 blocks south of State and 40 or so west of Wallace. And this on a day when our Trib never arrived. Instead, we got the New York Times! Ladies and gentlemen, life in the big metropolitan area is not supposed to be that bad.
