In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins sits down with Dan O'Sullivan from the new podcast The Outfit to discuss the incredible story of Ken Eto, known in Outfit circles as “Tokyo Joe.” Ken Eto was unique: the only Japanese American member of the Chicago Outfit, and the only man to survive being shot three times in the head. Eto was the Outfit's gambling kingpin on Chicago's North Side, controlling operations along Rush Street, policy wheels in Black neighborhoods, Chinese games in Chinatown, and the Puerto Rican “bolita” numbers racket. His empire generated millions of dollars each year, placing him among the highest-ranking members of the Outfit. But success had its price. In 1980, the FBI caught Eto in a sting, and his Outfit bosses grew nervous—especially since he had ties to a cocaine deal with the Genovese family. Invited to dinner by a mobster who had never broken bread with him before, Eto knew it was a setup. Two gunmen shot him three times in the head. Miraculously, he lived, and his survival changed the history of the Outfit.

Development fights are often won or lost in the community meeting. And so-called (though some would argue unfairly labeled) NIMBYs are often at the meetings in force, and can kill a project or fight for a compromise. Quinn Myers details some battles he's covered, and Madison Savedra is in the midst of a fight brewing on the North Side over a gigantic zoning change with huge consequences. Host - Jon HansenReporters - Quinn Myers, Madison SavedraRead More Here Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 18th Publish Date: September 18th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 18th and Happy birthday to Tyne Sandberg I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep takes place this weekend Landowners near Rivian defeat state demand for legal costs Friday Night Food Fight turns 10 and nears milestone for helping feed Gwinnett families Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooth All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 1: Annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep takes place this weekend The Lake Lanier Association is gearing up for its 37th annual Shore Sweep, the massive cleanup effort that’s been keeping the lake and its shores clean for decades. Mark your calendars: it’s happening Saturday, Sept. 20, with advance cleanup sites open now through Sunday, Sept. 21. Over the years, volunteers have pulled a staggering 2.33 million pounds of trash from the lake. Last year alone? 85 tons, thanks to 1,200 dedicated helpers. This year, they’re aiming even higher—100 tons. Volunteers can bring trash to 15 drop-off sites or join mobile crews on the water. Registration is required—visit lakelanier.org/shore-sweep for details. STORY 2: Landowners near Rivian defeat state demand for legal costs A group of landowners who tried to block the massive Rivian auto plant near Social Circle just dodged a $338,000 legal bill. The state wanted them to pay for its defense, calling their lawsuit frivolous, but a Morgan County judge wasn’t buying it. Judge Stephen Bradley ruled the suit was a legitimate attempt to question whether Georgia officials could sidestep local zoning laws for a private company on public land. The state had bought the 2,000-acre property, leased it to a development authority, which then leased it to Rivian. Bradley’s 11-page order didn’t hold back, even suggesting the state’s actions seemed designed to silence local opposition. For the landowners, it’s a huge relief. Meanwhile, Rivian is moving forward, with groundbreaking on the plant expected soon. The state insists the project will bring “generational economic opportunity,” but the legal battles aren’t over yet. STORY 3: Friday Night Food Fight turns 10 and nears milestone for helping feed Gwinnett families What started as a simple idea at Susan Lang’s kitchen table has turned into something extraordinary: 10 years of Friday Night Food Fight, a student-driven effort that’s collected nearly half a million pounds of food for Gwinnett County families in need. It all began when Lang’s son, then a senior at Mill Creek High, suggested turning a football rivalry with Dacula into a food drive competition. That first year? They hauled in 45,000 pounds of food. Now, schools across the county join in, with donations feeding hundreds of families weekly. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNETT FAIR STORY 4: Northside Duluth doctor first in Georgia to perform new knee procedure Last month, Northside Hospital Duluth made waves in Georgia’s medical community. Dr. Timilehin Wusu, an orthopedic surgeon at Northside, became the first in the state to perform a groundbreaking procedure using the MISHA (Medial Implantable Shock Absorber) system. The device, designed for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis, helps reduce pain and improve mobility—without the need for a total knee replacement. The first patient? A 54-year-old woman who’s already on the road to reclaiming her active life. STORY 5: Georgia high court decision ends Fulton prosecutor’s participation in case against Trump The Georgia Supreme Court just slammed the brakes on Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ election interference case against Donald Trump and his allies. In a tight 4-3 vote, the court refused to hear her appeal after the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified her from prosecuting the case. Why? Her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she’d assigned to the case, raised too many eyebrows. The ruling leaves the state Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council to potentially take over, as it did with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ case. We’ll be right back.

The Cubs keep the dream alive with a huge series win over the Rays, and the postseason picture is still very much in play! On Episode 183 of Dingers, we break down the highs and lows of the week on the North Side. We dive into:

All throughout the northside of downtown Wilmington, there are little markers of the past — a past filled with the sound of metal wheels clattering down the tracks. The Northside was once home to a sprawling railyard and passenger rail station — and it could be the home of passenger rail again.
