Illinois to Roll Back Mask Mandate in Late February as COVID-19 Case Rates Decline | Eater Chicago

"In Wicker Park, the Point nightclub at 1565 N. Milwaukee Avenue was temporarily shut down by the police superintendent after shots were fired into the building at 5 a.m. on Sunday; this was the second violent incident in six months, following an October exchange of gunfire that left one of the gunmen dead and prompted the city council to ban overnight parking on the 1400 and 1500 blocks of Milwaukee. Both incidents happened outside of the club’s business hours, owner Jun Lin had called police twice that morning to disperse the crowd, and the shooting occurred after the last squad car left; to seek reopening, Lin can request a probable cause hearing before Mayor Lori Lightfoot within three days." - Naomi Waxman
