Happy Thursday, Illinois. Schitt s Creek carried me through the early days of the pandemic, so it seems right that a Schitt s Creek pop-up would open up in Chicago as the end of the pandemic is sort of in sight.

The village of Palatine has hired an urban coyote specialist in response to increasing sightings and the killing of two dogs in the last month.
Officials also are asking residents to report sightings online at scientificwildlifemanagement.com/coyote-sightings but not to actively seek the wild animals.
The specialist was hired through the company Scientific Wildlife Management, at an initial cost of $600, to gather, monitor and report data on coyotes, Police Chief Dave Daigle said. Any additional services would be billed separately, and the cost is expected to be no more than a couple of thousand dollars for the year, he said.
