Hear NEW music from Gerard Way and watch the Umbrella Academy Season 2 trailer!

His new song is called Here Comes the End, and it came out today in celebration of the new Umbrella Academy Season 2 trailer, also out now.

‘Taste of Chicago To-Go’ starts today
Those days of standing in line with a wad of tickets in your hand, sweaty and annoyed by the crush of human traffic around you, just to get a breaded steak sandwich and Rainbow Cone, are on hold for now. Today sees the launch of “Taste of Chicago To-Go,” a virtual expression of the annual Taste of Chicago festival in Grant Park.
The “virtual” event includes a Dining Guide, listing featured items at participating restaurants. Each restaurant listing indicates how one can pick up their food (curbside, carry-out, delivery) and listings are broken down by category (Desserts, Classic Chicago, Ethnic and Neighborhood). “Taste To-Go” also features daily online programming, including cooking demonstrations from Tzuco, Luella’s Southern Kitchen and Monteverde. Revered Chicago musician Jon Langford is one of the acts performing in “Millennium Park at Home” Thursday night.
Welcome to the new normal. Eating goat tacos in Grant Park will have to wait for now.

New city program offers relief to families who can’t pay their water bill.
There is a new bill in Chicago that will help eligible candidates to pay their water bill.
Water is a necessity, and it is understandable especially in these times if one is to miss paying a utility bill.
The problem with missing a bill payment is all of the late fees that start to stack up which makes it even harder to get ahead of the problem and keep the water running.
This new bill will help people keep their water up and running.
To see if you are an eligible candidate, check out this link here.
