Dimitri and Colt can not say "No" to Abb's infectious winter spark and joy. From helping her Christmas shop, to walking through Millennium Park to see all the lights, to even donning ice skates, they obediently tag along on all her winter adventures through the city. While Dimitri would NEVER admit it, and Colt would be reticent to, they actually enjoy it just as much as she does.

5.19.22
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot has implemented a 6pm downtown curfew for minors and policed security checks into the entry of downtown’s central park as a response to a fatal shooting of a 16 year old near the park last week.
Rather than address the causes of gun violence among teens, mayor lightfoot is increasing policing in and around downtown, making it more violent for Black youth in particular in an attempt to keep it appealing to rich white folk.
Between her announcement of these measures and their implementation, Chicago police shot a 13 year old as he was running away, assuming him to be involved in a previous carjacking. He’s hospitalized. The city has not released more info yet. Last year, chicago police killed 13 year old Adam Toledo.
The state spends public money on militarized police to hunt and kill Black and Latinx children to protect sheets of metal and make white tourists feel comfortable.
