Church on Harlem goes back to Harlem

In 1890, when the United States had 42 states and Benjamin Harrison was President, the German Baptist Church was formed (now Forest Park Baptist) after breaking from the First Baptist Church of Chicago. A newspaper clipping from 1904 states, “The work of German Baptists dates back to the early seventies, at which time several members located in Oak Park and Harlem erected a small edifice at the corner of Franklin Street and Marengo Avenue which afterwards sold and was from that time used as a Mission Sunday School.”

Hundreds of people showed up to push Chicago’s Bean 7 inches to the left after a viral post claimed a man was trapped inside

Hundreds of people gathered at Millennium Park to attempt to push the famous Cloud Gate sculpture seven inches to the left, as People reports. This massive crowd showed up after an anonymous flyer appeared on streets throughout the city, calling for the first push of the artwork at 12:47 PM.

It reportedly weighs 110 tons, so moving it by hand is impossible. Footage from the scene shows a large group of people working together to push the structure in the same direction.
