Young Lee, 65, of 920 W. Lawrence Ave., the Heiwa Terrace senior living high-rise, was pronounced dead at 12:27 a.m., the medical examiner’s office said. Lee had been critically injured when a couch caught fire in his apartment early Monday, according to Chicago fire officials.
“Chicago has benefited tremendously from young people going to universities and then deciding they’d like to come to the capital of the Midwest, Chicago, and work for a while (and) enjoy living in the city if that’s what they want,” Evans said at an event held by a national business journalism organization.
ZinZanni, which officially announces its return Tuesday, is to offer an all-new comedic show, albeit with the same star, Frank Ferrante, who opened the production prior to the pandemic. The commercial show, a Chicago-based spinoff from the Seattle-based circus company featuring musicians, acrobats, illusionists, aerialists and the like, will offer a full six shows per week, dinner included. The current nightly capacity is about 300 patrons and all those tickets will go on sale Tuesday.
“The thing that really stood out for me was after we won a World Series, the parade, when we turn that corner, man, it was just crazy,” Harris said. “Being a young kid from Cairo, Georgia, population of maybe 10,000, there were more than 10,000 people at our parade and I was just in awe.”

“With Micker, he’s been limited with injuries,” Getz said. “He did well at the alternate site. I saw him, personally, drive the ball to right-center and center field, and if he stays with that approach, we’re really going to be able to tap into the power that he naturally has, which is his strength.
That’s a good question and I imagine first-year defensive coordinator Sean Desai has spent a ton of time on that this offseason. If I had to guess right now, Desmond Trufant, who has battled injuries the last two seasons, and Kindle Vildor are the top options to start at cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson, whose rookie season in 2020 ended prematurely with a shoulder issue. You’re right that Jackson needs to bounce back and that there are legitimate questions about the nickel position. The Bears did re-sign strong safety Tashaun Gipson, who was steady in his first season with the team, so there will be chemistry between him and Jackson. You make another good point that the pass rush needs to improve in 2021 too. While a ton of focus is justifiably on the offense, there are issues to be sorted out on defense.
While some stadiums around the nation are open at full capacity, the White Sox, Cubs and Fire are capped at 25% of capacity for the time being to stay within city health guidelines.

The Sky, who play at Wintrust Arena, expect to admit 10% to 15% of capacity to begin this season, while the Red Stars, who play in Bridgeview, will have fans but haven’t announced details.
“The SWAT team responded to a commercial building for a call of approximately four males with guns,” a police statement said. “A group of people were having a gathering in one of the rooms inside the building” on its third floor, when someone in the room, “called for police after stating they observed individuals with guns outside the door.”
Mercedes became a huge bright spot by making his major league debut at age 28 and cranked out five hits and drove in four runs against the Los Angeles Angels in a 12-8 victory on April 2. He became the first player in the modern era to go 5-for-5 to begin a season. In 1933, Cecil Travis had five hits against Cleveland, but he had seven at-bats in that contest.
