CDOT gave the alderman’s office a “heads up” about the removal, he said. When asked if the rat hole’s sidewalk piece will be preserved, moved elsewhere or destroyed, Sajovec said the rat ho

How are you going to say “paczki” when you go to order them this Fat Tuesday? Pots-key, paz-eck-e, pus-kee? Hopefully, none of the above. You should be saying “paczki” like “pownch-key,” which is how the word is pronounced in its native Poland. It turns out that’s a little hard for Chicagoans to say, though, so we talked to an expert to show us how to say “paczki” correctly. We asked members of the Block Club staff how to say the word.
