The weekend is upon us which means it's time to get ready for the disruption of Blue Line service from the Loop to the Division stop, right? Not so fast! According to the CTA Tattler, work on that part of the Blue Line is done. The work now shifts to the Loop and South/West as the CTA continues to replace tracks to eliminate slow zones. The CTA claims that the work on this segment of the Blue Line should be completed by the end of the year and shuttle buses will connect passengers between the Clark & Lake and UIC/Halsted stop, which means no Blue Line in the Loop on weekends, starting tonight at 10:00 p.m.

If you're flying through Terminal Two at O'Hare this weekend, Starbucks won't be around to meet your caffeine needs. The coffee shop has been shut down by the Dumpster Task Force thanks to insects. A visit was made on June 4th when a warning was issued and the shop was shut down yesterday when a return visit yielded the same results as before. No word on when the shop will be reopened. [CBS 2]

The Tribune Company has been making headlines in papers other than their own these days, most recently for its part in former governor Rod Blagojevich's schemes and for filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, making it the first in decades to do so. But now they're back in the news for a recent decision to close the McCormick Freedom Museum, housed in the first and second floors of the Tribune Tower annex on Michigan Avenue. Focused on educating school-aged children on issues of first amendment rights and the meaning of freedom, the museum will close its doors on March 1 and move toward mobile exhibits. - Post by Anthonia Akitunde
