Why did Richard J. Daley push for the UIC campus to rise from the heart of a long-standing ethnic neighborhood?

The Gist - Phoebe Robinson Will Teach You How to Bae
Phoebe Robinson recounts the tributes and trolling her book has prompted with its title, You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain.
On The Gist, Robinson wonders whether dreadlocks have really entered the mainstream (and are they ever acceptable on white guys?), and gives Mike a lesson in cultural sensitivity. Robinson is the goofball complement to her co-host Jessica Williams’ deadpan delivery on the 2 Dope Queens podcast. She is also the host of the interview podcast, Sooo Many White Guys.
For the Spiel, the West Virginia governor race pits a wealthy Democrat against both coal and Cole.
