Chicago Census Watch: New Census estimates keep Chicago at No. 3 among U.S. cities, with population at 2,731,585—still well behind New York and Los Angeles, and with Houston at 2,397,315. The gap looks a bit wider than last year, even as growth slows. Navy Pier Arts: Chicago Shakespeare Theater unveils its 40th season, including a Pat Benatar–powered “Romeo and Juliet” world premiere. Public Safety: A baby girl was fatally stabbed on Chicago’s Southwest Side; the suspect jumped from a window and is in custody. Courts & Sentencing: A North Chicago man received 30 years for dismembering and burning his 6-year-old brother’s body. Sports & Local Life: Illinois and coach Brad Underwood agree to new contract terms after the Illini’s Final Four run; and the Cubs beat Atlanta 2-0. Housing Policy: The Illinois Municipal League pushes its own statewide affordability plan as the state debates zoning authority.
