Review: Let us be clear about one thing from the start. Chicago, a city with an auspicious past and present of prestidigitation and legerdemain, has never before had a space for magic anything close to The Hand & The Eye. chicagotribune.com/2026/07/2…

Big day for magic in Chicago as The Hand and the Eye officially opened today about 100 feet west of Michigan Ave (100 E Ontario). The entire project was estimated to cost $50M while renovating a 36,000 sq ft former mansion built in 1889 (and Lawry's til end of 2020).

.@Verizon wow- after not once, but twice trying to place an order, the rep talked me in circles, changed the terms and did not follow-through. I've gone through two carts and lost the order and now the plan is unavailable?

.@Verizon @VerizonSupport I’ve now talked to 5 departments and am still stuck with an unfulfilled iPhone order. Your customer service model seems to be exhausting people into giving up instead of solving the issue. This is absurd. Who can actually fix this?

Five hours on chat with customer service to find the right plan. Manager disconnected chat when I asked for plan details. What carriers have the good coverage (North America only) and reasonable unlimited data plans for a family. Time to dump 👇 @ATT
