Don't go anywhere if you can help it and wear a mask if you can't.
Though you could stay home and watch sports on TV.

Just by glancing at their website, I see they have added several new cards to my favorite line, Bloodshot Press!

Sidebar: My last email (8/3/20200) indicates they are now re-opened M-F, 10-4

I believe the last time I was around this area, Jamba Juice was in this location.

After a phone call earlier today, by someone raving about some edible they had just inhaled from here, I'm adding it to my "places to visit" after the pandemic dies down!

Bad news for anyone who was still holding out hopes of sipping spiced wine from a boot mug in Daley Plaza this winter: Christkindlmarket, the annual holiday market usually hosted downtown and in Wrigleyville, has officially been canceled. In place of the the in-person event, vendors that usually participate in the German-themed Christmas market will sell their products online beginning on November 1.

ZooLights, the long--running and beloved annual holiday installation at Lincoln Park Zoo, will return this year—but for the first time in more than 20 years, you'll have to pay for a ticket to get in. Zoo reps cited financial straits due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the new ticket charge, which will be $5 per person for entry. "Unfortunately we are not in a position to staff and operate the extended hours with the limited capacity of visitors required based on state guidelines without some public investment," zoo director Megan Ross wrote in a press release. "We are charging a nominal admission in order to help us break even and still bring this beloved holiday tradition to the zoo."

Each year, ZooLights brings millions of LED bulbs to the sprawling grounds of Lincoln Park Zoo for a twinkling after-hours display, plus other holiday-related events like carolers, Santa meet-and-greets and ice-carving demonstrations. This year's exhibit will open on November 20 and run through January 3. In addition to the regular ZooLights admission, guests will also be able to snag tickets for an adults-only night out (complete with mulled wine and hot chocolate) and A Charlie Brown Christmas tribute concert from the Chris White Trio.

Tickets for ZooLights will go on sale for zoo members on September 24; they'll open to the general public on October 1. The zoo will also host five free nights (November 24 and December 9, 17, 21 and 29), which will still require an online reservation.

Want your rooftop bar vistas to come with a side of scares? You'll find both this Halloween at the IO Godfrey Rooftop Lounge, which is debuting a "haunted" version of its annual heated rooftop igloos for one spooky day on Saturday, October 31.

The domed igloos, which are heated and see-through to allow for unobstructed views, will be strewn with scary decor; elsewhere on the rooftop, you'll find a fire dancer and live DJ. Complete the haunted effect with seasonal snacks and plenty of Halloween-themed cocktails—like the bourbon, Grand Marnier, ginger liqueur and pumpkin spice-infused Smashing Pumpkin—and be sure to come in your best costume, because there'll be a prize giveaway for the best-dressed visitor.

Visitors can make two-hour private igloo reservations for anytime between 11am to midnight on October 31 via Tock or by emailing info@iogodfrey.com.

And don't worry if you can't manage to snag a spot—once Halloween's over, the igloos will get decked out in holiday decor and remain open through March 2021.
