In Which We Discover an LPFM

I just saw the Otis guts of what pulls an elevator up and down a twenty-eight story building, all perched on the top of a penthouse. On top of THAT was the roof, twenty-eight stories up, with the Sears Tower next door and the lake visible in two directions. Jake Shapiro liked to pretend to run at the edge of the roof because he's cruel like that.
Even better: in the attic of the penthouse at 215 Cedar street, along with the greasy rags and the elevator bits, there is a license for a temporary low-power FM station, dated 1999. Amy O'Leary, our hostess for the evening and a producer for This American Life, has a radio station.
And I didn't even say anything about the penthouse.
More tomorrow.
Now I sleep.
