Since 1979, signs have honored West 37th and South Honore as Chicago’s geographic center. But the city's real midpoint shifted in the '50s when the city annexed land for O'Hare. Now, the actual center is between Pilsen and McKinley Park: south of 31st and Western and in the water of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
