Less than six months ago, Evita Griskenas could not even walk, and now she is hoping to bring home a medal at this year’s Olympic games.

CHICAGO — From service to staffing, and from reliability to ridership, the Chicago Transit Authority is falling short of post-pandemic public transportation recoveries in comparable cities, according to an analysis of data by WGN News. Comparing ridership numbers from 2019 to 2023, the CTA’s “ridership recovery” lags behind systems in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Boston, and slightly edges past New York’s MTA, a system, with more than six times the CTA’s daily ridership.

RT @Josh_Frydman: Obviously the biggest question surrounding Chicago native Robert Prevost now that he is Pope Leo XIV: Cubs or White Sox?…

Turns out he’s not a Cubs fan :/

We sat down with the brother of Pope Leo XIV at his New Lenox home. He tells us his brother loves Wordle, Words with Friends, and the Chicago White Sox! Tune in on @WGNNews at 5:00 for our conversation. https://t.co/dyuyzriqRW
