Todays Support Chicago Business: MATISSE TAVERN AND GRILL

Matisse Tavern and Grill is a neighborhood tavern with an eclectic Gastropub menu including made-from-scratch items and the best quality meats.  Check out the cozy lounge with TVs, fireplace, Full-service bar including our martinis, craft and specialty cocktails you won’t find anywhere else. Located in a garden-level space, Matisse has been hit hard by the lack of foot traffic on Diversey since the pandemic hit.

Porn Plays During High School Zoom Class

A high school in Florida is under fire after students reported that part of a porn video was eligible on screen during a required course. To make matters worse, the students were in a mental health-related course when the incident happened. No one wants to see videos like this unprompted and no child should have to see things that graphic that they don’t want to.

For better or worse, this is an issue that students are going to remember for the rest of their life. What’s a notable incident that happened in your high school? Hit us up on Facebook and let us know.

Woman Paints Goat, Felony Charges Ensue

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. In this case, the crime is stealing an animal and then spray painting it. A woman in Alabama is facing charges of animal cruelty after she snatched up her neighbor’s goat and decided to have a little fun with it. To make matters worse, theft of livestock in Alabama constitutes a felony charge (because of course it does).

What On Earth Is This New Sport?

Singlets? Check. Barrel-chested men? Check. Basketball court? Believe it or not, that is also a check. We don’t know what this is, but we want to play immediately.

Brian has a shot at being good at this simply because of the sheer girth of his body. Justin, the scrappiest man alive, could become a real pest out on the court. Ali, with her speed and agility, could become a very important member of a championship winning team for whatever this sport is. What name would you even give this? Let us know on Facebook what you think this sport should be called.

Who Would You Choose to Fight in a Zombie Apocalypse With?

Fair warning: Nostradamus predicted there would be a zombie apocalypse in 2021. In the 16th century, the philosopher predicted World War II pretty much exactly as it played out so while there’s no need to panic yet, you might want to start making some calls about who your literal ride or die’s are going to be. Here’s what Nostradamus wrote about 2021,

“Few young people: half−dead to give a start. Dead through spite, he will cause the others to shine, And in an exalted place some great evils to occur: Sad concepts will come to harm each one, Temporal dignified, the Mass to succeed. Fathers and mothers dead of infinite sorrows, Women in mourning, the pestilent she−monster: The Great One to be no more, all the world to end.”

Luckily the CDC provided a list of things to need in a zombie apocalypse, including 1 gallon of water for every day and non-perishable food.

Who are you taking with you into the zombie apocalypse battle? Family? Friends? Brian, Ali, and Justin? Let us know on Facebook who you’re going into battle with!

Here’s Why You’ve Been Struggling with Sleep Recently

The reason you can’t sleep might be because of the device you’re reading this on. According to the CDC, one-third of Americans struggle with sleep disorders, and a large chunk of those disorders are caused by cell phone addiction. Almost 40% of the 1,000 people recently tested were said to have had some sort of addiction to their phone.

The biggest way to curb this is to drop cellphones and laptops for one hour before going to bed. Doctors say that that is the best way to alleviate the pressures of a cell phone addiction to not only get more rest at night, but to be more awake and active during the day.

What Happened At Your School That You’ll Never Forget

The fact that high school still exists in its current form is a miracle. It’s such an insane environment full of hormones, drama, and learner’s permits that it is hard to believe that we didn’t throw our hands up at the institution long ago. Every high school seems to have one incident that they’ll remember forever. Listen to what this woman had to say.

Plane Forced to Make Emergency Landing Because of a Cat

“Meow” is never a sound you want to hear coming from the inside the cabin. Unfortunately for passengers on a flight from Sudan to Doha (the capital of Qatar, obviously), that’s exactly what they heard. In the midst of the flight, the cat began attacking crew members on the flight. It is believed that the cat had snuck on the plane during overnight maintenance and once they reached a cruising altitude, the cat freaked out.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen on your flight? Fly on over to our Facebook page and let us know what you saw!

Cockfight Ends Horribly for One Man

In Hyderabad, India, one man met his match with a rooster in an outlaw cockfight. The rooster, who had a three-inch knife tied to its leg, did as roosters do and fluttered and panicked upon being grabbed by the man, thus the blade SLICED HIS GROIN. No one-two combination needed. A razor to the groin is all it takes to put a man down for the count.

Is this the dumbest way anyone has ever died? If you can somehow top getting a razor to the groin in an illegal cockfight, please let us know over on Facebook.

What Would Be the Perfect Business to Match Your Lifestyle?

Seth Rogen, former star of Freaks & Geeks and Knocked Up, among other things, launched a product that he’s very passionate about recently. Houseplant, a cannabis company that has been active in Canada since 2019, is making its way to the shores of the United States on March 11.

The company’s cannabis strains will initially only be available in California via its website and will roll out to select dispensaries across the state later this spring, according to Houseplant representatives. We’re happy for Rogen but we want that good stuff here in Chicago!

He’s made an entire career based on not only being a great actor, but a great actor who loves pot. It’s the perfect fit for him. If you had the funds to start a business that suited your lifestyle, what would it be? Are you already doing it? Let us know! Hit us up on Facebook with the job that would best fit your lifestyle.

Woman Decides to Marry Herself!

We’ve all been down bad before, but it takes a special level of being in the dumps to pull this off. Atlanta’s Meg Taylor Morrison ended her three-and-a-half-year relationship over the summer. Despite entering the new year without a partner, Morrison had always dreamt of a wedding ceremony, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and marry herself. The ceremony cost her over $1,000!

Is this narcissistic or do you respond what she’s doing? Sound off on our Facebook page and let us know what you think.

Today Support Chicago business is BOTTLES UP!

Bottles Up! is a woman-owned bottle shop and experience selling wine, beer, cider, spirits, sake, and some non-alcoholic gems and other goodies (Cheese! Toffee! Chocolate-Covered Wine Bottles!). They try to focus on smaller producers – especially minorities – that don’t have as much exposure in our market, and we rotate our selection weekly so there’s always something new.

Their shop is organized a bit differently than most, in that we use color to indicate the weight, or body, of the wine. What does that mean? Well, think of milk. There’s skim, 1%, 2%, and whole – light body to full body. Different wine varietals can be categorized similarly based on their characteristics. For example, Pinot Noir generally produces light-bodied wines while Zinfandel is full-bodied. Pinot Grigio is generally light, while Chardonnay is full and round.

Attaching color to this weight concept is just our way of communicating things a bit more clearly. Plus, we’ve found it encourages people to try new things. And it’s pretty. #DrinkColorfully

They also offer  Take Home Tastings every Wednesday, special virtual events, and have a pretty cool monthly wine club.

This is just the type of business we love to spotlight on Support Chicago!  So do grab a few bottles of therapy from Melissa and BOTTLES UP!   Support local buisness! – Tim Virgin

Seth Rogen’s Cannabis Brand “Houseplant” Is Coming To The U.S.

Who knew Seth Rogan was so talented in this many ways.  Acting, directing, producing, making killer pottery, and now …. WEED.

“We are finally ready to launch in America,” says Rogen. “What we are doing is bringing you the best strains of weed that have been hand-picked, by that I mean hand-smoked, by me. It’s just the weed that I love that I want to be smoking. We have an orange one for sativa, a purple one for indica, and it even stacks.” Green packaging is the Houseplant hybrid strain. Houseplant even won a Clio award in 2020 for its unique design.

Seth explains more in this post:
