Tinder will soon allow everyday users to perform background checks on people you match with, according to the Verge. This is a dating app-first and one that could hopefully eliminate future cat fishing disasters.
Is this an invasion of privacy, though? It seems like these apps can harbor a lot of our information. How do you feel about this? Let us know over on our Facebook page.
Today’s Support Chicago business is The Clark Street Dog. This is an ICONIC place that most of us have either been to or have driven past its legendary location.
3040 N Clark St
Chicago, IL 60657.
Tel. (773) 281-6690
Since 1977, the Velliotis family has been serving the Chicagoland area delicious Chicago-style food and drink. The restaurant has become known for Vienna Beef hot dogs including the signature Clark Street Dog, a play on the Chicago Dog with mustard, onion, relish, tomato, pickle, and sport peppers. They also serve a top-rated Philly Steak and the fan-favorite Cheese Fries. The variety of menu items is always fresh, never frozen, and cooked to order and supports the City of Chicago by using local products from Vienna Beef, Pepsi, Kronos, Gonnella, and Alpha Baking.
In addition, Clark St Dog features a full bar and is the original home of the Pickle-Back Shot, the result of a creative conversation over what to do with the leftover Vienna Whole Spears Pickle Juice. The bar only features local beers on tap featuring Goose Island for $3.50 every day of the week.
Open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Clark Street Dog is Lakeview’s favorite late-night stop and a friendly environment with affordable dining options, the perfect place to grab a beer and a bite.
Stop on in and grab a dog to support an iconic local Chicago business. – Tim Virgin

Have you ever witnessed a crime? It’s not snitching if you tell us about it on our Facebook page!
Obviously, you want the answer to be “operating on my prone body”. That is not the correct answer, at least in the case of a handful of doctors in Grand Rapids, Michigan who are under fire for posing and playing with live organs. The doctors allegedly started playing “Price is Right-style” games with the organs before eventually posing for pictures with the body parts and uploading them to Instagram.
We love our doctors and nurses, but every once in awhile we see something go horribly wrong like this. Do you have a bad hospital experience that you want to share? Hit us up on Facebook and tell us about it!
Animals: we only ever see what they do when it happens right in front of us. Weird to think about, right? We can’t check in on them later and ask us what they were doing when they were gone. Luckily, influencers are smarter than they appear and one of them decided to strap a GoPro onto his dog before leaving the house.
What trouble has your dog gotten into while you were away? Let us know over on our Facebook page.
The only word reference site Dictionary.com is adding a handful of words to their 2021 vocabulary, most notably the inclusions of “supposably”, “doomscrolling”, and “finna”. It’s amazing all that can happen in a year. Terms like “Second Gentleman” had to be created and terms like “hybrid learning” and “elbow bump” mean something completely different now.
What word or phrase drives you insane? Is there a common mispronunciation that really gets to you? Head on over to our Facebook page and let us know!
The sports card business has been given a new life in the past year, but did you know that coins are once again a hot commodity? Specifically, 1975 dimes. If you have a dime from that year with Roosevelt’s face and no mint mark, you have a chance to possibly cash in. This video can explain:
What weird stuff do you collect? Have you found yourself getting back into collecting during the pandemic? Share your passion with us over on our Facebook page!
We’ve all seen what sort of damage can be done to a person’s insides when they smoke, but what about a house? This brave TikToker shows us the process of cleaning a home that had been eviscerated by smoke for 21 years.
This is your reminder to quit. Forget about what it can do to your lungs, we don’t want to see you tank the resale value of your property!

It appears a Monster from the Midway made its way down to Romania for a ski-filled getaway. Look at this insane footage of a bear chasing skiers down hill.
Do you have any bear stories? If you do, please share them over on our Facebook page! We like al little bit of a thrill in the mornings.
Perhaps thousands is underselling this. A treasurer at a Pennsylvania church has been accused of stealing $150,000 with the money going towards what sounds like a carpel tunnel-inducing porn addiction. The man told police that he had become addicted to porn sites, which makes this story even dumber. If he was still shilling out cash to grab porn DVDs, that would be weird but it would at least make sense. There’s free porn all over the Internet, my man! That’s actually what the Internet is!

We know you’re thinking this is a weird question, but it’s true, right? Right?? Please tell us you experience this as well. Even if you won’t be honest with us (or yourself), there’s science backing up this idea that bookstores are renowned defecation points.
It’s called the Mariko Aoki phenomenon. While the science isn’t exactly figured out just yet, it is absolutely a thing that millions of people experience.
If this describes you, be brave and pony up a comment over on our Facebook page. Help us feel less alone!
Not even Ty Pennington could come up with a bedroom this epic. The only flaw with housing a 400-pound playground slide in your room as a kid is that the slide may be stolen. In this instance, that’s exactly what it is. Police were at a man’s home investigating him over a recent string of car part thefts when they noticed the slide mounted to a child’s bunkbed in their mobile home.
Have you “allegedly” stolen anything and gotten away with it. Let us know over on our Facebook page.
I know what you’re thinking: television royalty. Yes, we’ll give you that one, but that’s not the main point of this article. The main point revolves around what the personalities were sitting on during their explosive sit-down interview. The patio furniture just happened to have been made by Christoper Knight, otherwise known as Peter Brady, the middle brother on ‘The Brady Bunch’.
The chairs are now sold-out on Amazon and Overstock.com. It’s truly amazing just how nuts people go over Royal Family stuff. Now that we think about it, though, those chairs do look pretty nice. Maybe they’re worth the investment!
Further proof that the pandemic has made literally everything weird, the world of trading cards are hot again! And not just NBA Top Shots (which can sell for THOUSANDS of dollars) actual cardboard, put in the spokes of your bike, bubblegum stuck to the back, honest to goodness trading cards. Apparently when you add The Last Dance to pandemic boredom, they combine to cause a boom in nostalgia! Is there anything Michael Jordan can’t do? Read more about where to get the best NBA trading cards HERE. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m making a trip to north of the border (WI) to start digging around in my mom’s attic for that Dikembe Mutombo Upper Deck rookie card that I was told would someday pay for my college back when I bought it as a kid. So long student loans <does Mutombo finger wag>!!!
Dig out your Walkman and pop in that old R.E.M. cassette you’ve been reluctant to get rid of. Do it in honor of the great LOU OTTENS . . . the Dutch engineer who invented the cassette tape.
Lou passed away on Saturday. He was 94.
The cassette made its debut at a 1963 electronics fair with the slogan, “Smaller than a pack of cigarettes!
It was actually created for making sound recordings outside, because it was much more portable than reel-to-reel machines. But once they realized the quality was good enough for music listening, they started putting albums on them.
Over 100 billion were sold worldwide.
Ottens then went on to help develop the compact disc.

What is old is new again. Vinyl sales continue a dramatic upward trajectory, leaving all other physical media in the dust. What brought vinyl back from the dead, and why does it matter? JVO and Jon Manley talk about vinyl history with a guy who helps make it: Andy Weber, co-owner of Smashed Plastic, the only record-pressing facility in the state of Illinois.

Orange chicken pioneers Panda Express are under fire after a branch manager in California forced employees to strip down to their underwear in the spirit of “team building”. A female employee is now suing the chain after she was forced to strip down, then “hug it out” with a male employee who was forced to do the same. That male employee was crying in the midst of all of this chaos.
