Traffic and Property Taxes Suck, but These Summer Plans Don't!

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Construction in Chicago sucks. This year’s road and highway projects are a major headache, with traffic up over last year and drivers complaining about outrageous commute times. We’re discussing particular pain points around the city with Melody Mercado of Block Club Chicago and Charles Preston with Injustice Watch. Alongside host Jacoby Cochran, the group also discusses ongoing efforts to help arriving asylum-seekers, appealing your property tax bills, and summer plans you need to add to your calendars: The Black Ensemble Theater’s “The Real Housewives of Motown” opens this weekend! Imagine Englewood’s Peace Fest: One Love Edition will be Saturday, June 3! The Hoodosie, Chicago’s block optic and radical news podcast, returns Saturday, June 3!
