The highest praise I've ever received in an aircheck was when my PD at 98 Rock in Sacramento said I have "Jed the Fish tendencies" on the air. Clearly he was insane, I could never come close. Hearing all these stories solidifies it, Jed was the GOAT.
I had the same thought today but didn't pull the trigger. Wish I had!
No offense to the other traffic reporters in town but I've been training for today rolled over cattle truck on I-65 since the early 80s! It just took me this long to finally find my time to shine.
Normally talk of a dumpster fire on the Dan Ryan would lead you to think we are talking about something near 35th St (Sorry Sox fans, you know it's true). But no, this one is on the OB Ryan past 71st. Fire crews have the right lane and the ramp to 75th blocked. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
A miserable morning for traffic trying to get from Downtown to O'Hare as the OB Kennedy remains closed from the Edens to Lawrence with a crash investigation. Use Elston or Milwaukee Ave to avoid being forced to the OB Edens today. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
Save. Our. Parks.
I'm so bummed I'm going to be out of town when thet play here next week. Would kill to meet him one of these days!
Oopsie! Going to be a long day for one semi driver on SB I-65 at State Road 2 near Lowell. The left lane is blocked after this big rig ended up on its side. A heavy tow is on the way to get this cleaned up but it may take a while. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
This was an excellent read. Thank you so much for posting. Much needed.
My flip flops are quite dusty after that!
Out of office.
Just getting the word from IDOT After being shut down since March, the Kennedy Express Lanes will be open starting with the Monday morning commute! @wbbm1059traffic.bsky.social @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
Wrapping my head around how Nirvana to Middle Schoolers today is the same as the Beatles were to me in Middle School continues to rip at my soul.
Absolutely heartbreaking overhead of the LA fires.
Progress we can see! Crews are in the Kennedy express lanes this morning conducting more testing. IDOT says sometime next week we should get access to the express lanes once again after being shut down for almost 10 months!
Hey @andrefor40th.bsky.social, since @chicagocta.bsky.social decided to abandon the cesspool that is the other platform, can we get them to resume automatic posts over here?

You call a taxi and this is the one that shows up. You getting in or HELL nah??
I'll just keep referring to it as Sox Park until they move to the 78, thank you very much.
Pump the brakes: IDOT delays reopening of Kennedy express lanes. @wbbm1059traffic.bsky.social @beauduran.bsky.social

Better late than never?!? Crews are FINALLY moving the barricades from overnight construction on WB I-80/94 past Ripley. The 2 right lanes were supposed to be cleared at 6am, resulting in 7 miles of misery starting well before State Road 249. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
From our pal Kris Habermehl at CBS News Chicago, the work continues in the Kennedy express lanes. No word from IDOT yet on when Chicago Traffic will have access to them once again. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social
While Trump’s national popular-vote margin was just under 1.5%, his margin in news deserts was massive. He won these counties by an average of 54 percentage points.

"Weird radio lady Delilah" really should be her legal name.
The music choices have been excellent!
Spent the last hour listening to incredible earthquake coverage live on KCBS/San Francisco and now @genebaxter.bsky.social and his cousin live from the other side of the planet. All while driving around the north side of Chicago. Hey sometimes technology ain't that shabby!
"Undisclosed" location. Attempting to warm up.
From the Southport Corridor Facebook page overnight. Lange's takes a direct hit from a stolen car like a champ! That place is pure magic. @chicagobars.bsky.social
Hate to hear this, especially this time of year.
Cardiologist? Played the Tin Man in the high school presentation of Wizard of Oz?? BIG fan of Ann & Nancy Wilson's music???
