It's like on my local news broadcast last night: a one-year-old fell 12 feet, off a raised porch--was reported to be in good condition at the local hospital. Kind of a slow news night!
But to comment on Chicago taxis--as a Wisconsinite who occasionally visits downtown Chicago--sheesh--those things are dangerous! They take corners at breakneck speeds and will come within inches of a pedestrian. All in a day's work!
They also like to push through walkers with the right to cross light on. Blasting their horn the entire time.
When I worked in the city - the one major upside was that I caught the bus after work in the underlevel of wacker/michigan. Very few taxis under there - unless they already have fares. And in that case, most were in the center lanes, not on the sides - because the buses would slow then down.
