B.B. King, Live at the Regal, 1965 on ABC Paramount
Recorded live at the Regal Theater in Chicago in 1964, and released by ABC Paramount (in the US) in 1965. Fantastic live blues album and a must have.
It was a cold, raw day in traditionally windy Chicago on November 21, 1964, but hundreds of people found a quick way to warm up! There were the lucky ones who crowded into the Regal Theatre where an old favorite—B.B. King—generated his own brand of heat via his guitar, his band, and his great blues songs.
— Rick Ward
My copy—via uDiscover online—is a 2015 reissue on Geffen labels, pressed at United Record Pressing. I’d love to have an original pressing but this sounds pretty good.

Supreme Court Refuses to Allow #Trump to Deploy #NationalGuard in #Chicago
President Trump ordered state-based troops to #PortlandOR.; #LosAngelesCA; #WashingtonDC; and #ChicagoIL over the objections of state and local officials.
By Ann E. Marimow
Reporting from Washington
Dec. 23, 2025, 3:44 p.m. ET"The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to allow President Trump to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the Chicago area over the objection of Illinois officials, casting doubt on the viability of similar deployments in other American cities.
"The justices’ order is preliminary, but it blocks the Trump administration for now from ordering the state-based military force to the Chicago area, where an immigration crackdown led to thousands of arrests and confrontations between residents and federal agents.
"In its temporary ruling against the administration, the court refused to grant the president broad discretion to deploy the military in U.S. cities. It represented a rare departure from recent cases, in which the conservative majority has overwhelmingly sided with Mr. Trump in preliminary tests of presidential power.
"At this stage in the litigation, the court said the Trump administration had not shown that the statute at issue 'permits the president to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.'
"Three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch — noted their dissents."

#ChicagoHeights '#ZFarm' helping #UrbanGrowersCollective battle #FoodInsecurity
'We're encouraging everybody to join us to grow 10% of your own food'
By Cheryl Scott and Blanca Rios, Thursday, June 19, 2025
CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (WLS) -- "Protecting the planet can start with the food you put on the table.
" 'Just thinking about how many miles it took for that tomato to come to your plate and all the energy that is consumed along the way for that tomato, that in the end, doesn't really taste that good,' said Ericka Allen.
"Allen is the CEO of Urban Growers Collective. The Black and women-led nonprofit helps to provide locally-grown food to the South and West sides of the city, through its seven urban farms.
"But #UGC's footprint just got a whole lot bigger after acquiring access to a 42-acre farm in south suburban Chicago Heights. About 30 of those acres are arable land, said Allen.
" 'This is a farm that we're calling Z-farm, formerly the Zeldenrust Farm,' said Allen. 'Now we can spread out here and grow so much more food and also create more food security, with food coming back into the city. So we're not relying on having to ship food from across the country.'
"One seed at a time, UGC will start growing everything from collard greens to pumpkins on just five of Z-farm's acres for the first couple of years. The rest of the land will be covered with black-seeded sunflowers come harvest time.
"And for the first time, they now have access to heated hoop houses.
" 'For us to have a little bit of heat means we can extend those tomatoes all the way through Christmas, all the way into the new year. That means that we can start peas in January,' said Allen.
"UGC is also making sure future generations learn to grow their own food.
" 'We're teaching, basic skills. Transplanting to seeding, to harvesting, and eventually going to sell it to the community,' said Urban Growers Collective Director of Farming Malcolm Evans.
"Evans, a Chicago native, trains interns, staffers, and community members, some who don't have easy access to grocery stores.
" 'A lot of these are #FoodDesert neighborhoods,' said Evans. 'A lot of these communities don't have access to healthy foods and don't have food affordable to them so they have to travel miles away.'
"But UGC is hoping to change that narrative.
" 'We're encouraging everybody to join us to grow 10% of your own food, to purchase 10% of your own food, to make a positive impact on #ClimateChange, and just to have a more secure food shed.'
"Even if that means getting a little extra help from a neighbor.
" 'If somebody's growing a ton of zucchini down the street and they want to give you some zucchini, take that zucchini, make five things out of it. That's #FoodSecurity,' said Allen.
"Aspiring gardeners can stop by the Z-Farm's onsite nursery every weekend to purchase seedlings to grow at home.
"And come harvest time, people can drive up to the curbside farmstand to purchase vegetables."
