Griffin MSI, go the way of Paris

To the Editor,On a recent trip to Paris, I commented to my husband, “I had forgotten how incredibly beautiful this city is. The architecture is gorgeous…one building after the next after the next. Block after block after block. I so appreciate the beauty and grandeur of Paris architecture. I wish Chicago had more buildings like this.” Which is why it is critically important to preserve what we do have.Chicago is renowned for its beautiful and diverse architecture. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve it, as well as to ensure it is presented in all its glory. Given this, I cannot begin to understand why anyone would consider, fund and approve of a project to transform the north entrance of the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry (GMSI). Developing a structure which blocks the visual of this beautiful, historic and classical-style work of art is heinous enough.

Charleston restaurant helped lead Cannonborough’s resurgence. What’s changed 14 years later?

[+] Add Post and Courier News on Google Okonomiyaki is served at Xiao Bao Biscuit, Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, in Charleston. Gavin McIntyre/Staff Subscribe to CHS Menu Newsletter CHARLESTON — One of my first meals in the Lowcountry took place at the corner of Spring Street and Rutledge Avenue.Sitting on a stool along a long bar with reclaimed, dark-stained wooden panels, I watched a dining companion wince with every bite of bracingly spicy papaya salad. Reprieve came from a sip of a crisp cocktail and a bite of caramel-colored fried chicken, the toasty, sweet coating clinging to the breading on the juicy meat.When the okonomiyaki arrived, looking like a ray of sunshine with a golden egg perched on the cabbage pancake, we were completely captivated.

A goal beyond Bowling Green: Beatty and Team Canada

When Molly Beatty transferred to Bowling Green from Central Michigan ahead of the 2026 volleyball season, she brought an unfinished goal with her. The sophomore setter spent the previous summer competing for a spot on Canada’s U21 national team, only to fall short of making the final roster. Beatty acknowledged the other setters outperformed her. “I wasn’t as good as the other setters, and I mean, it was deserved,” Beatty said. “The other setter beat me in training camp.” Rather than letting the disappointment discourage her, Beatty used it as motivation. “It was kind of a learning experience for me,” Beatty said. “Kind of taking a chip on my shoulder and being like, I’m gonna get better, do it next year, and I did.” One year later, Beatty earned a spot on Canada’s U21 roster and returned to Ohio with a silver medal from the 2026 NORCECA Women’s U21 Pan American Cup in Columbus. But representing Canada wasn’t always part of Beatty’s plans.

No. 3 Illini get back to winning ways vs. Sam Houston

Tomislav Ivisic had a career-high 28 points, Andrej Stojakovic added 26 and No. 3 Illinois bounced back from its first loss this season with a 108-86 victory over Sam Houston on Friday night in Champaign. Coming off an 84-78 defeat Tuesday night at No. 16 Texas Tech, the Fighting Illini (3-1) pulled away from the Bearkats by scoring 63 points in the second half to set up a high-profile showdown with No. 2 Duke next week. After trailing 45-40 at halftime, Sam Houston (2-2) went in front 57-56 with 15:58 left on a fast-break dunk by Enel St. Bernard. Ivisic answered 14 seconds later with a 3-pointer that launched an 11-0 run for the Illini, who never trailed again. Ivisic scored 10 of the first 14 points for Illinois in the second half. He briefly left the court midway through the period after being elbowed in the mouth, but returned and finished the game. Stefan Vaaks scored 14 points off the bench, and Quentin Coleman had 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists for Illinois.
