Yesterday we admitted (http://chicagoist.com/2009/07/16/adler_anniversarizes_apollo_11.php) that the Apollo 11 moon landing didn't really have anything to do with Chicago, but hold up -- turns out a west suburban company manufactured parts used in the launch rockets (http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/couriernews/news/1670024,moon-mission-local-parts_el071709.article).
"I'm so glad an independent coffee shop opened in our neighborhood. But is it just me, or does their coffee taste just like Starbucks (http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-talk-stealth-starbucksjul17,0,7976392.column)?"
Chicago native and former NBA power forward Antoine Walker was arrested in Nevada (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/chi-17-rowboldnamesjul17,0,130344.story) and accused of paper hanging almost $800,000 in bad checks. That must have been one hell of a cold craps table.
A Chicago postal worker already being charged with sexually assaulting two teenage girls is now also being charged with sexually assaulting girls in two other incidents (http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/1671439,postal-worker-tommie-naylor-sexual-assault-071709.article).
Another familiar face is leaving Chicago's television airwaves -- Harry "Someone You Should Know" Porterfield is retiring from ABC 7 News after 24 years (http://www.suntimes.com/business/1671381,harry-porterfield-someone-should-know-071709.article). Before his move to ABC 7, he was at WBBM-TV for 21 years. There are no plans for a replacement.
