Chicago’s Pride Parade canceled for second year in a row

Chicago’s 2021 Pride Parade has been canceled.

In May, organizers announced the parade would be held October 3.

The parade, traditionally held on the last weekend in June, was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. In May of 2021, organizers announced the parade would be held on Oct. 3.

But on Wednesday, coordinator Tim Frye said they had to cancel the parade for a second time.

“We really wanted and hoped that there could be a parade in 2021. We don’t feel, though, that we can do it safely for everyone in the parade and the people watching,” Frye said in a statement posted to the event website. “We must cancel the parade for the second year.”

Frye said 2022’s Pride Parade has been scheduled for Sunday, June 26, 2022.

Is Southport Fitness leaving?

Real estate gets shopped around a lot, and it’s not 100% a sign that a retailer is leaving (i.e., FedEx a few years back).

However, it’s never a good sign when real estate listings show a prominent property for lease. The latest space now being marketed is Southport Fitness at 3415 N. Southport Avenue.
