- Description
- We explore the journey of a portrait photographer whose career was upended during the pandemic, leading to the creation of a unique coffee shop aimed at fostering community.
The owners of Monday Coffee never wanted to open a coffee shop because the responsibility of managing a brick-and-mortar business wasn’t attractive to CEO Amanda Harth and head roaster Felton Kizer.
But six months after opening in November 2024, Harth and Kizer have found their North Lawndale space has become a community hub, hosting packed events like weekly chess tournaments and live music. It’s an environment they take great pride in.
The spot, at 3243 W. 16th St., is also known for its behind-the-counter roaster, with beans sourced from Mexico and Africa. It’s menu includes drinks like a brown sugar cardamom latte and a dirty cold brew.

- Description
- On March 5th, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on Sanctuary Cities, with Democratic mayors of Boston, Denver, Chicago, and New York invited. Notably, New York's Mayor Eric Adams is cooperating with the Trump team amidst his pending charges. Chicago's Brandon Johnson faces a crucial test as the hearing is seen as political theater rather than a serious discussion, featuring provocative Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Johnson must navigate this high-stakes scenario carefully to avoid worsening his current 7% poll standing. The hearing's nature and potential strategies Johnson could adopt are discussed in-depth, reflecting on Chicago's long history of defending immigrants and the potential for turning the national spotlight to his advantage.

- Turns out it’s not a "holy molar," after all, the Art Institute of Chicago found regarding what had been thought to be a religious relic from John the Baptist.
A tooth inside an ornate, artistically significant container and frame — in the Art Institute's possession for decades and believed to come from the important biblical figure — wasn't from ohn the Baptist, after all.
Researchers found that “the tooth was actually from the 5th century AD and could not have belonged to John the Baptist,” says a spokesperson for the Art Institute, citing results of tests that were conducted in 2016 by a team from Oxford University, though the outcome hasn’t been widely disseminated.
