December 2, 2024 · —Sidney Madden
Thanksgiving came and went, but the holiday fun is only just beginning. I hopped on the mic with the City Cast Chicago pod crew to help you make the most of the month 🎉
What's CITY Talking About?
Bears Fire Head Coach
Matt Eberflus was fired after a devastating Thanksgiving game loss against the Lions where he failed to call a timeout with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter while the Bears had the ball. It is the first time in franchise history a head coach has been fired mid-season. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will be interim head coach. [CHGO Sports]
Humboldt Park Homeless Encampment Being Cleared

Study: City Guaranteed Income Pilot Success
A University of Chicago report found the city could learn a lot from its guaranteed income pilot about how to reach communities in need of support services. The city’s proposed budget has a second pilot planned for next year. [WBEZ]
