| | | | | It’s Thursday, Chicago. It’s finally getting breezy and cool outside, which means the next season is right around the corner. Not quite ready for fall? We have a list of Labor Day bar and restaurant specials to commemorate the unofficial end of summer, here. This week, Tribune reporter Kalen Lumpkins catches up with Chicago’s very own Chance the Rapper and talks the release of his new album “Star Line,” his first since 2019. Read that story here, plus chow on our list of dog-friendly patios. Enjoy the weekend,
we’ll see you back here next week. — Lauryn Azu, deputy senior editor | | | | Just in time for International and National Dog Day, and before the end of summer. | | | | | Murder mysteries have returned in full force. But aside from the “Knives Out” movies, rarely do they have casts with stars this big. | | | | | Restaurants and bars throughout the area extend their weekend brunches to Mondays, offer patriotic specials and host parties to let you have a little fun in the sun. | | | | | His first studio album since 2019 will be followed by a live tour. His fans are calling the album a comeback, but Chance says it’s more than that. | | | | | Following a flurry of Chicago-flavored collaborations, a new twist on Garrett Popcorn combines the crunchy kernels with pizza in a partnership with Home Run Inn Pizza. | | | | | Plus a new season of “Only Murders in the Building” and a new show from the creators of “The Office.” | | | | | Like drops of water hitting a hot pan, Jay Roach’s “The Roses” makes a dramatic sizzle, then evaporates on contact. | | | |
