Avondale residents are fed up with street stunts in empty parking lot

An empty parking lot at Belmont and Pulaski has become a hot bed for illegal activity. On Friday night, home video was captured of the parking lot.

This video comes six months after the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance hoping to crack down on street racing and drifting by threatening to impound vehicles involved.

Are Avondale residents justified? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Science has proven that men with small penises want fast cars

Believe the science.

The University College London has released a study that confirms that men with small penises – in the ballpark of 4 inches – have a greater desire to be in a fast car. According to the study, younger men under 29 years of age showed little linkage between penis size and the desire for fast cars, but in the 30 and older group, “men who thought they had a relatively small penis rated the sports cars higher,” even into old age.

Next time you see a man in a big car going too fast, just remember that he isn’t as blessed as you are.

Here’s what Fall Out Boy plans to do in Joe Trohman’s absence

With Fall Out Boy’s new album, So Much (for) Stardust, due out on March 24, the band has announced plans on how they will go forward in Joe Trohman’s absence. The guitarist announced he was taking a hiatus from the band last week.

On Kimmel last week, the band performed as a three-piece with Patrick Stump handling electric guitar duties. They’ve announced that Trohman’s guitar tech, who has filled in for Trohman in prior promo appearances, will take over guitar duties for the time being.

We wish Trohman the best in his time off.

ComEd wants to raise your bill by $17 a month by 2027

As if it wasn’t bad enough, your electric bill might be going up again really soon. A new proposal by ComEd wants to raise the delivery rate by over $1.4 billion over the next four years. That $1.4 billion hike translates into $17 more per month on your electric bill by 2027 if ComEd gets their way.

ComEd has requested the price hike in an effort to strengthen grids. Per CBS News, under the four-year plan, the current average $93 monthly bill will see an initial monthly increase of $4.50 in 2024, bringing it to $97.50 per month or $1,167 annually. Year after year, rates will go up. By 2027, the average monthly bill will surge to $110 or $1,320 a year.
