About this episode

Last week, the City Council voted to approve the sale of Chicago’s Parking meters to a New York-based investment firm. After months of back and forth, alders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal, arguing it means more revenue for Chicago over the remaining five decades. We are joined by contributors Brandon Pope and Jill Hopkins to break down the details. Plus, we’re taking a peek inside a COVID-era time capsule, previewing Día de Muertos celebrations at the National Museum of Mexican Art, and sharing the TV shows we can’t get enough of right now.
