Description

The city’s contract with gunshot detection tech SoundThinking (aka ShotSpotter) is up at the end of the week. Will Mayor Brandon Johnson keep his campaign promise to end the contract or will he renew it? Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea break down the mayor’s options and why it’s such a big decision. They also talk about the referenda on your ballot and Chicago’s most (and least) romantic spots ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Good news: Argyle Lunar New Year Celebration and Lunar New Year Celebration Chinatown Parade
