The Week in Review with Joel Weisman
The Week in Review with Joel Weisman-January 2024
Jan 16, 2025 12:52 AM

This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, the Blizzard of 2011 takes Chicago by storm, absolutely paralyzing the city. The third largest blizzard ever caused complete chaos on Lake Shore Drive, with hundreds of stranded drivers and abandoned cars. As the city continues to dig out, some blame city officials for not shutting down the historic thoroughfare sooner. Meanwhile, the mayoral race turns nasty with Carol Moseley Braun accusing opponent Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins of being a crack addict -- then apologizing to her opponent. The governor signs the Civil Unions bill, granting same-sex couples in committed relationships some of the same benefits of marriage. And in sports, the Bulls are red-hot, while the Jay Cutler knee controversy continues to burn.
