This is the last Chicago Public Square Newscast for a while.

As fun as creating it is, it takes a lot of time and so we’re going to take a summer break—partly to free more bandwidth for the main Chicago Public Square daily email and other projects and partly to check that old saying about absence making the heart grow fonder.

If you’d like the newscast to return sooner rather than later, you can convey your heart’s fondness rating via email to [email protected].

Regardless, you’re always welcome at ChicagoPublicSquare.com, where you should definitely sign up to get news dispatches from the mothership daily—free.

And follow Square on Facebook and Twitter for between-edition fixes.

For now: Here’s the news.



Thanks for listening.
