Letter from the editor: An apology to our readers. There were numerous mistakes within the pages of last week’s edition of the Sun-Times-Post-Gazette.

And man oh man, even though it had nothing to do with a pandemic, don’t ’cha kinda think it’s germane to this red-hot moment in history? While our Cheeto-hued … Continue reading

Hello, Filthy Dreamers! I’m Andy Anderson – a long-time pal of FD’s fearless leader Emily Colucci (I’m also a photographer who had the honor of being one of the artists included in her smash 2017 Night Fever art show at Future Tenant Gallery – but that’s another story). Today we’re introducing a new semi-regular humor … Continue reading
