As of 2019-2023 ACS data in the Chicago Health Atlas, Uptown is 50.3% white now. But maybe you're using another data source or different boundaries. Others of the official 77 community areas that lack a majority racial/ethnic group include Hyde Park, Bridgeport, Irving Park, and Near West Side.

Thank you!! I will add these to my list. I've heard I have to go to New Town Bakery. So excited about all the good sushi and Asian goodies!

That's honestly most of my list so far! ;) I'd love any sushi or dim sum recommendations. Also, is the Richmond Night Market worthwhile?

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today.

Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

RFK Jr. ousts all members of CDC vaccine advisory panel Kennedy said the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a group of experts who recommend vaccines, has been "plagued with persistent conflicts of interest."

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks.

The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

From failing to recommend the measles vaccine to citing non-existent studies, RFK Jr. is unfit to be our HHS Secretary. I’m calling for him to resign.

Voters overwhelmingly think all Americans should have access to vaccines β€” not just those who are immunocompromised.

Many people recover from a bout of flu within a few days or a week. But every year, the virus still kills more than 36,000 people across the U.S. β€” many of the deaths so sudden that families are left reeling.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Seven polling sites in Milwaukee ran out of ballots due to "historic turnout" according to city election director. More ballots are being printed and on way. Very important to remind voters that if they're in line when polls close at 8 CT they get to vote. Do not leave. Please spread the word

The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.
