📰 Top 5 stories in Chicago:
1) Man arrested at vet clinic accused of punching puppy in Lincoln Park. A man was arrested for animal abuse after police said he battered a dog on a busy Lincoln Park street — and a witness who saw the arrest at a vet clinic said the man intended to euthanize the dog that day. Jose Orlando Cartegna, 28, of Hammond, Indiana, is charged with misdemeanor cruelty to animals. He was arrested Sunday in the 3300 block of North California Avenue in Avondale, the same block where MedVet Chicago is located. Neighbors have been trying to track down the man who battered the puppy named Zeus in the Sept. 22 attack. Surveillance video showed a man screeching his van to halt, grabbing a puppy out the trunk by the neck and repeatedly punching it and hurling it across the street.
2) University of Chicago professor wins Nobel Prize in economics. A University of Chicago finance professor “considered one of the world’s foremost minds regarding the banking industry is one of three winners of the 2022 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his influential research on banks and financial crises,” according to the Nobel Foundation. Douglas Diamond, a widely respected professor who has worked for the Booth School of Business since 1979, yesterday became the 97th scholar associated with university to be a Nobel winner and the 33rd in economics. Diamond receives the prestigious award alongside former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, who oversaw the 2008 financial crisis, and professor Philip Dybvig of Washington University in St. Louis, according to the Nobel Foundation. The trio will split the prize money of 10 million Swedish kronor, or about $885,000.

3) Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair brought to life with augmented reality. “If you’ve ever wanted to travel back in time to the 1893’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, one resident’s mission has been to make that possible. Michael Finney has always been fascinated with “The White City,” the unofficial name for over 200 incapsulating structures built on top of Jackson Park. The fair, which took place from May 1 to Oct. 30, 1893, was brought into the 21st century by author Erik Larson’s book ‘The Devil and the White City,’ which equally tells the story of the construction of the fair along with H.H. Holmes’ exploits as a serial killer operating out of a home at 63rd and Wallace. Finney, as a longtime fan of the fair, wanted to commemorate the 125th anniversary in 2018. So, he started to acquire photos from an antique book that was released in 1893 to promote the event. From there, Finney tweeted out an interesting picture from the fair each and every day. ‘While I was doing that, I thought I have amassed a good amount of data. I could probably turn this into a book,’ Finney said. Released in August 2019, Finney published ‘1893: Chicago’s Columbian Exposition.'” But he didn’t stop there …
5) Chicagoans don’t escape food insecurity. “Black and Latinx communities in Chicago are more likely to be food insecure than predominantly white communities and this follows a national trend. According to USDA Food Security and Nutrition Assistance data, food insecurity rates are highest among single mothers, households with income below the poverty line, and Black and Latinx households. Across racial households with children that experienced food deficits in Chicago, an estimated 120,084 were Black, 77,000 were Latinx, and 35,775 were white, according to data compiled between June 1 and July 11, by Northwestern University Institute for Policy Research professor, Dr. Diane Schanzenbach.” Lack of food can be an aspect of poverty, especially in low-income communities like North Lawndale, East and West Garfield Park, and Englewood.
