in the immortal words of michael jordan at the 1998 bulls nba championship celebration in grant park: the one thing i do know is my heart and my soul and my love has always gone to the city of chicago. this puzzle is on the cusp of themelessness, if i'm being honest, but if it had a theme it would be my fair city.
spoiler: 46-across is an incredibly unfair clue, but i couldn't help myself. for the uninitiated...
in 1999 chicago was awarded a civil engineering 'monument of the millennium' award for the genius feat of flooding the mississippi river and, thusly, st. louis, with our sewage. st. louis filed an injuction against the city for doing so and it went all the way to the supreme court, where they ruled in chicago's favor.
die mad, losers!
anyways. this puzzle is standard crosstina fare but with some local flair. thanks to meat daddy for giving it a dry run. enjoy responsibly!
fun puzzle! loved 38a, 46a, and 26d and 27d[: but im kinda salty about the naruto clue cause if i was gonna clue that as an anime thing i wouldve gone with the rival school from haikyuu but alas
ReplyDeletei have to say i'm not well-versed in anime! thank you for giving it a spin though!!
