A new restaurant on the South Side of Chicago explores the cuisine of the African diaspora. Mahari held its grand opening in Hyde Park on Jan. 17. Executive chef and owner Rahim Muhammad describes his menu as a “Creole take on African Caribbean and Latin food.” It’s global and personal for both Muhammad (who previously consulted at Stussy’s Diner and Chemistry steakhouse) and beverage director Lisa Brown (The Promontory). Their families are both “Creole out of Louisiana,” Muhammad said. “So we just took our roots and traveled back and saw how we were connected.” At Mahari, he said, they celebrate…

The text from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson started as his messages often do. “Yo!” he wrote Ald. Daniel La Spata, 1st, last month. The Northwest Side alderman knew what it meant. “That’s when I called him,” he remembered. A Tribune review of Johnson’s text messages show many politicos have gotten similar messages and read between those two letters themselves. The mayor’s exchanges with aldermen, Gov. JB Pritzker, top business officials and labor leaders show he is more reluctant than predecessors Lori Lightfoot and Rahm Emanuel to put much in writing. While Lightfoot would often respond to text messages with voluminous…

In its quest to get a million electric vehicles on the road by 2030, Illinois was counting on $148 million in federal funding to help build a statewide network of public EV chargers. Now that funding has been frozen — and targeted for possible reduction or elimination — under a wide-ranging executive order that President Donald Trump signed on his first day in office. Also in limbo: another federal program that was to provide Illinois with millions of dollars for public EV chargers. “I’m very nervous right now that (the Trump executive order) is going to limit Illinois’ ability to…

Rwanda-backed rebels claimed they captured eastern Congo’s largest city, Goma, early Monday, as the United Nations described a mass panic among its 2 million people and Congo’s government said the rebel advance was a “declaration of war.” The M23 rebels announced the city’s capture in a statement minutes before a 48-hour deadline expired that had been imposed by the group for the Congolese army to surrender their weapons. Early Monday morning, gunfire was heard throughout the city, according to two aid workers sheltering there who were not authorized to speak to the media. In a statement, the rebels urged residents…
