I mean, really, Koko Taylor was truly a blues queen--my mom clipped her obit from the LA Times and sent it to me--but I was very disappointed that her passing didn't even rate a mention in the online headlines. Thanks for remembering her here.

Much respect. As a native Chicagoan, I hope you enjoy living here. It truly is a great city with a lot to offer: shopping, culture, music, and some of the best food in the world. I love visiting New York (like you), but I think once you've been here a bit, you will start to love it (except the traffic).
