Well, it’s been a year in Chicago news. We’ve seen a wreck of the Wienermobile on the Tri-State and a wreck of a baseball team on the South Side. We’ve seen Riot Fest first here, then there, and Pitchfork here, then nowhere. We’ve seen the Chicago Symphony Orchestra appoint a new music director who was not yet born when Jordan unretired (the first time). We’ve distilled some highlights of the year in Chicago news into this crossword puzzle, which will surely bring our city so much joy that we will instantly have a budget and a teachers’ contract.
