It might hit 80 degrees, the teens, tornado and snow in Tom Skilling’s final two days on air. Well played, Mother Nature. @WGNRadio @WGNTV

I know, I know.. we not suppose to like NASCAR being here. However, yesterday I heard dozens of ppl say “Chicago is beautiful I need to come back again.” I saw cool farmer’s tans on the south side inside Harold’s. A good mixing of people being nice to each other is dope – at Chicago, IL

My favorite part was @hmcghee asking if, after all she’s witnessed, @MichelleObama stands by “When they go low, we go high.” “Going high is a choice to approach a problem with a solution-oriented mind. Going low is the most self-indulgent way I can react.” So, yes 💜
