What gives with the new CYC 'cruise' to Racine on the same night as Queens Cup and Area 3 fake Michigan City Race? Seriously?

Who is going to choose the cruise over the race if they are already a racer?

Were their cruisers that did the races?

Why does it matter?

Who shot JR?

It's a good night navigation race, excellent opportunity. We are doing it. There is a competing 'event' it seems. Don't know why. I hear it is a pita entering on the Area 3 website.

When has the A3 website not been a PITA?

On the other hand, Goose Island COLORS Regatta uses Yachtscoring and it's very easy to register for racing next weekend!

Here's a look at the fun:

Friday- Line Honors Registration Party with FREE pour of Goose Island & Dry Creek on the Upper Deck

Saturday- 2 Racing Circles followed by FREE Fajita Bar, Goose Island & Dry Creek + Live Music on the Aft Deck

Sunday- 2 Racing Circles followed by Skyway Yacht Works Awards Party with FREE Goose Island & Dry Creek on the Aft Deck

See you on the water!

 

FLICK OFF!

As long as you don't actually go in to Michigan City, how could you be upset...

Was anyone disappointed with the race to Michigan City last year?
That might be a valid point if you weren't going to War kegan for an overnight...

and blubs, I don't remember you complaining when the locals found you a boat to sleep on when your own boat was full of slappers....

Try the Tri State again this year, you might be surprised...

Jones was the owner of the Factory Chicago, a gentlemen's club on the Far South Side.

A tweet from the Factory Chicago read: "God called his soldier home, R.I.P. Charles Jones."

A cousin of the female victim, Andrew Holmes, said the pair was sideswiped while driving in Jones' 2007 Maserati and was shot while approaching the driver of the other vehicle.

No other details were immediately available on the shooting.

At 2:10 a.m., a 27-year-old man was shot in the armpit in the 12100 block of South Indiana Avenue. He was later pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center, police said.

Earlier in the evening, an 18-year-old man was shot to death in an alley. The shooting occurred at 9:20 p.m. Saturday in an alley between Dorchester and Dante Avenues near 74th Street.

A light-colored sedan reportedly drove passed the alley where the boy and several others were standing and began shooting. The man was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the man is believed to have gang ties.

Two other shootings occurred Saturday night including one that hospitalized a 17-year-old man with multiple wounds in both of his legs after he was shot in the 6000 block of North Kenmore Avenue.

Another teen was shot in the 700 block of West 50th Place in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The 19-year-old man was taken to St. Bernard Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.

Early Saturday, a man was shot and killed in the Hyde Park community, blocks from President Barack Obama’s Kenwood home.

A man buzzed two suspects into his apartment building and left his door open for them enter, according to Chicago Police news affairs Officer Estrada.

The suspects then entered and shot the 29-year-old man in the chest and back at 1:50 a.m. in the 1400 block of East 52nd Street, police said.

Around 11:45 p.m. Friday a 22-year-old man was found fatally shot outside his home in the 1100 block of North Lawndale Avenue. The man was discovered on the sidewalk outside his home with a gunshot wound in the back of his head and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Woody,

As tragic as it is, especially with the number of kids that are killing kids, when you look at the per capita, it's not even in the top ten. Doesn't make it any better but overall, the city is a pretty nice and safe place to live most of the time. Just like any major metropolis, there are areas you just do not go.

Cheers,

Chaos
