Did Chicago choose not to apply to host any World Cup matches, or did it apply and lose out in the selection process?

Would love to attend a match in person, but the closest host city (Kansas City) is about 8 hours away🤨

Now, looking back after last night’s homicide in Grant Park, I think it’s a good thing Chicago didn’t get any World Cup games after all. Grant Park, of all places! This could’ve been where foreign soccer fans gathered after the game…

I wish we had it, but I’m happy people are getting to come and see the nice parts of America.

Other than the poor fans in NYC who had their school bus burned down.

Our city leaders stood up for us! Continuing our tradition of strong civic leadership. Clearly all of the other cities in the US got ripped off.

Yeah I’m happy they’re just stealing our tax dollars instead of using them to bring the entire world and billions of dollars into the city.

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
