The Chicago tower opened in 2009. The sign was added in 2014.

For reference:

Off topic - Did anyone else get a “Squatty Potty” ad with a unicorn shitting ice cream before the video for desert rose loaded? I was so shellshocked I watched a 2:45 youtube ad without clicking skip.

Second derivative is negative? Doesn’t describe an actual decline though.

Yeah, just a gut feeling, but I see your point.

I think it’s because of the predictability of the NBA. I can say today with probably ~75% confidence that the Warriors will win the NBA this year. We’re halfway in to the regular season. And it’s like this most years.

Not entirely true:

If they stay over more than 50% of the time, that is too much.

There are 3 ways to read that advice:

It pains me to say this, considering it’s produced by fruit-flavor-of-the-month Traveler, but Jack-o Traveler Shandy has a lot of pumpkin (the gourd, not the spice) flavor and I like it.

Second-gen Legend was my first car. So much fun to drive. I will find another one someday.

You are likely right with respect to the (mostly southern) urban-sprawl cities. But in the (mostly northern) central-core-style cities, money and people are flowing back in, as gentrification is reversing the white flight of the 1930s-60s. (No comment on the racial aspects, for this discussion, just saying they exist)

Not only that, but how the %$#& was he able to win an NLCS MVP while sitting in that quadrant? (I say this as a Cardinals fan)

Be sure to include that it was made by the Kappas themselves and not the Sigma Chis. Being an alumnus of the U of I, I am 100% sure that is the case.

As an alumnus of the U of I and knowing how these things work, I can promise you it was the KKGs themselves that made this banner. And that the sororities made all of these banners themselves and gave them to the fraternity to hang on their house.

Also, if you look up some images, pervious PCC pavements often look more like conventional AC given their texture. Hard to tell exactly which this is without a close up.

Fun fact:

If you can’t fix it with your TV settings, check the aTV settings too. IIRC, there is something to do with overscan in there as well.

MNF has almost always had a different graphics package from the rest of ESPN/ABC. Got to make the NFL feel special (I hated writing those words).

In theory, I agree. However, most TVs are 1080p these days, and the artifacts from upscaling 720p are probably just as bad as the motion blur from 1080i. If only everyone would broadcast 1080p natively!
