Wow. @BCBSIL, your web portal for my dad’s Part G account is just trash. No way to recover the money you just took from a dead man? Can’t communicate with a human? Kewl. #CustomerDisservice

Haha! This will be argued until the end of time. We discussed this for a full year, my first year in my wing in the KU dorms. Our compromise— the MW is composed of 2 distinct regions: Great Plains & Great Lakes. Both incredibly Midwest, but for totally different reasons
This is a very fair ranking of Midwestern states.

When I think of Mike Ditka, I don’t think of a great coach. To me and so many Chicagoans— it feels like he was THE great coach. Gruff, unapologetically unpolished, blunt and just crass enough you knew he was the real deal. Kind of like #Chicago itself? I sure think so. 💕
Remembering Mike Ditka: Legendary former Chicago Bears Head Coach Mike Ditka has died. Read more: wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/… In 2016, he joined us for our Primetime Special and got quite the surprise. Here's the hilarious moment Mike Ditka met @FrankCaliendo, as Mike Ditka.

In September, the average high temp in Chicago goes from 80° to 70° by the end of the month— so “warming up” means something different now than around Labor Day. Could we hit 80 this week? Probably not, but we could get close. @WGNNews
The final Sunday of September is shaping up to be a very good one, with even warmer temps (and possibly some heavy rain) on the way soon. @TimJoyceWX has the forecast. WATCH: wgntv.com/weather/chicago-we…

Hmm.. this one is challenging. Definitely after Alaska and Hawaii became states— so I didn’t try to count the stars on the flag. So when did 94¢ gas intersect with home movie rentals… 1983?

Wasn’t that just basically the plot of the brat pack-ish movie About Last Night from the 80s?
JUST IN: The Chicago Cubs are releasing their own romantic comedy series on social media. NINE INNINGS TO LOVE will follow two young fans who meet in the bleachers and spark a special connection. The series will feature 17 short form episodes, all produced by the team’s creative arm Cubs Productions. It premieres on September 4th on the @Cubs TikTok. ⚾️ ♥️

Summer isn't done yet, Chicagoland! A late summer heat wave has moved into the area, bringing warm, muggy and rainy conditions. How long will it last? @TimJoyceWX has the forecast. WATCH: wgntv.com/weather/chicago-we…

I remember that night SO well. I was working that evening in the weather department at KCPQ in Seattle. Calls to the station and social media exploded with folks trying to figure out was up. on. The audio still makes me smile— and tear a little.
