Chicago, which welcomes more than 48 million visitors annually, has claimed the top spot on Orkin's 50 Bed Bug Cities List Monday for being infested with the most bedbugs nationwide.

Chicago saw more than 180% more carjackings in January than during the same month in 2020 -- and police believe most of the offenses are being committed by young adults and teenagers.

Chicago Public Schools has backed down on its threat to lock K-8 teachers out of their remote learning tools if they failed to show up at its facilities this week to prepare for the return of in-person classes.

Heavy snow caused a partial collapse of the Aragon Ballroom’s wall Tuesday, sending bricks tumbling into an alley and disrupting CTA service nearby.

Chicago Public Schools leaders extended remote learning Monday for two more days and called for a "cooling-off period" in negotiations with the teachers’ union, citing progress but not a full agreement on COVID-19 safety plans for returning to schools.

On Sunday evening, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that Chicago Public Schools have not yet reached an agreement with the Chicago Teachers Union on whether and how to open schools this week. That means that students will not be back in classrooms on Monday.

Anthony Jackson, 19, had high capacity rounds, a laser sight, and a silencer when Chicago police tried to pull him over for a traffic violation. Police say he tried to get away but crashed into a train.

Chicago police are asking for help locating two men wanted in connection with a robbery last week at a CTA Brown Line station on the North Side.

As of Saturday night, a tentative agreement between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools has been reached regarding in-person learning, but there is still no final word on whether students will return to classrooms on Monday. 

Police are looking for a man wanted for a robbery on a Red Line train near Chinatown on the Near West Side.

Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union have yet to come to an agreement on returning to in-person learning.

The Chicago Teachers Union was pushing Friday for its members to be vaccinated before being required to return to classrooms, one of the key sticking points in its ongoing labor dispute with the city’s public schools over a planned Feb. 1 reopening date for K-8 students.
