At the family’s behest, this sad news is finally being shared. I’ve known since Friday that he left this plane on Wednesday morning.The feeling of loss, for me, & many in my circle, is profound. Blood was 1 of 1. He was made of the stuff that Blues is made of. Raw. Pure. Elemental.

Yeah it's a little cheesy like musicals are supposed to be. But please stop sleeping on @Pink's talent. And an appearance by @theestallion! "P!NK opens The 79th Annual Tony Awards®" youtu.be/5KelfPXHNg0?si=DbQ0… via @YouTube

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, photographers for the New York Post were sent scuttling around the city on the hunt to capture newsworthy moments—politics, sports, sometimes art, and, because it was the Post, mostly crime and celebrity. Martha Cooper was one of those photographers. But some of Cooper’s most impactful work emerged from the shots she took in between those assignments, often of abandoned lots, trash and rubble, and scenes of children playing and passing the time outside. These photos recall classic Tenement-era images of city dwellers making the most use of the city around them. See more of Cooper’s work: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/GI…

Millennium Park preps for BluesFest, which begins on Friday. The chainlink is down at the Pritzker, the lawn glistening, seats refreshed and reinstalled, trellis de-reusted, proscenium shining. Glorious. Orchestra season begins next Wednesday! chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dc…

Street grid map for Chicago. Armitage is 2000 N, Diversey is 2800 N, and Addison is 3600 N. An address that ends in an even number is on the north side of an East to West street, and an address that ends in an even number is on the west side of the street on an North to South street. Addresses that end in an odd number are on the south or east side of a street. #ChicagoHistory ☑️

We are heartbroken by the passing of legendary R&B singer Peabo Bryson. His performance of "A Whole New World,” with Regina Bell, from Disney’s Aladdin was the first-ever song from an animated film to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and we will forever treasure his performance on the song as well as his performance of "Beauty and the Beast,” with Celine Dion, from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
