Takeaways from the Chicago Cubs’ exhausting week as they begin a crucial nine-game trip out West. Los Angeles Angels starter Kyle Hendricks is scheduled to face his former Cubs team Sunday in the finale of the three-game series in Anaheim, Calif. And that’s a good thing. Baseball is entertainment, and seeing Hendricks face the Cubs in a pennant race will be about as good as it gets, especially with the Cubs offense in a second-half slump. The Cubs will get a chance to catch up with Hendricks, one of the last remaining active players left from the 2016 World Series…
MIAMI — A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction Thursday halting further expansion and ordering the winding down of an immigration detention center built in the middle of the Florida Everglades and dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” that advocates said violated environmental laws. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams’ injunction formalized a temporary halt she had ordered two weeks ago as witnesses continued to testify in a multiday hearing to determine whether construction should end until the ultimate resolution of the case. The state of Florida filed a notice of appeal Thursday night, shortly after the ruling was issued. “The deportations will continue…
Well. Goodbye for now. The Tribune has eliminated the position of film critic, as part of a newsroom reorganization. This leaves me with two options: stick around for reassignment or take a buyout. I’m voting buyout. I’m opting in for opting out. After six newspapers in Minneapolis; Dallas; San Diego; St. Paul, Minneapolis; Los Angeles and Chicago, and 41 fulltime years in this beautiful, vanishing subset of journalism, it feels right. Forty-one years, plus six years of freelancing my way through college. Call it 47. Forty-seven years of writing, editing, gobbling research like the grad student I never was; 47…

When I enrolled at Chicago State University, I was an adult student with three children; I worked while finishing my degree. I needed flexibility and a community that believed in my potential. CSU gave me that and changed my life forever. That is why I believe President Zaldwaynaka “Z” Scott’s ambitious University Village 95 plan needs to become a reality. As one of the commuter students described in the editorial “Can Chicago State University build a vibrant community a la University of Chicago in Hyde Park?” (Aug. 11), I can tell you that traveling 20 miles round trip to class…
The Tinley Park Oktoberfest is canceled this year due to rising costs, according to Jame Holt, president of the Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce, the event’s organizer. The Chamber said the cancellation was a difficult decision but ultimately the best course of action. The September celebration has featured authentic beer, brats, music, German dancing and carnival rides, turning the parking lot along 80th Avenue and the Metra Train into a resemblance of Munich, Germany for three days. Holt said costs to run and properly secure the event this year became unsustainable for the Chamber’s volunteer organization, despite the event’s popularity.…
