For the second year in a row, Navy Pier won’t be lighting up the sky on the Fourth of July. Planning for this event begins in March, thus the timeline as it relates to COVID was incredibly uncertain this year. Navy Pier President and CEO Marilynn Gardner said in a statement, “Navy Pier is committed to delivering safe, quality experiences, and an event of this nature typically requires months of advanced planning, which we were not able to implement this year due to uncertain timelines related to COVID-19 cases and restrictions in Illinois and Chicago,”

Justin will be passing out sparklers on the 4th at Navy Pier.

Hot girl summer is in full swing and Chicago is ground zero for doing the hibity dibity. For those that are still single, Money Magazine has conducted a study that could drastically change your dating life if you have fancy wheels. Here’s what you need to know.

Folks, in case you were wondering, women still like fancy sports cars. More breaking news coming later today.

Could this really be happening? The Bears have called Chicago home since 1921 and Soldier Field has been their home base since 1971, but Arlington Heights is putting that legacy in jeopardy. On Monday night, the Arlington Heights village board voted to approve an overlay zoning draft that would allow a football stadium to be built on Arlington Park.

Be sure to buy your tickets to Bears home games this year. It could be their last year in the city.

Off the coast of northeast Japan, a woman was shooting a fishing video when she noticed a body floating face-down in the water. People nearby took action and called 911, which led to a cavalcade of emergency response vehicles arriving on the scene. Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on who you ask), the emergency crew quickly identified the floating object as not a human, but as a sex doll.

Strangely, this is not the first time this doll has been soaked.

This was her first time driving on the highway. It went poorly. Very, very poorly.

We don’t know why she’s legally allowed to drive, but we need to do everything in our power to make sure that she can no longer be behind the wheel. Can you imagine being near this on the Dan Ryan? You don’t want that smoke. No one wants that smoke.

This clip took place back in 2015, but the world is just now catching up to the delightful batch of instant karma that is served up in this clip. After giving a passionate “nerds are cool, actually” rant to seemingly no one, this man fails epically with a ton of money on the line.

Hope that med school degree worked out for you, pal.

North Siders can finally cheer about something after the Cubs recent woes. PlayUSA polled 200 baseball fans across the country and the Cubs came away with the most votes in the Best Uniform category and second in Best Colors. Hope was not lost for the Sox, though, who finished fourth in the Best Uniform category.

You can check out the full report here.

Still, this reeks of a Cubs bias. The Sox get shafted once again. The cycle is vicious and it is endless.
