Gale Street Inn closure: Iconic Chicago restaurant shuts doors, here's what they said

'There are simply too many of you and not enough of us. Thank you to our current & past teams. Man what a run! Thank you to all of our guests for all of the years. To our vendors, thank you for delivering the goods, always. To the city of Chicago, we loved operating in the greatest food town on the planet. We will come up with a gift card plan and fill you in . There is no gracious way to close a retail business and we apologize for the inconveniences in advance. We wish you all peace and love. Good Bye, GSI,' the post continued.

CBI registers case against former Chief Manager of JNPA and private entities over ₹800 cr. alleged scam
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against the former Chief Manager of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), and four others, including three firms, for cheating, conspiracy, corruption and causing losses of over ₹800 crores to JNPA. According to CBI's officials, the case was registered on June 18, 2025, on allegation that criminal conspiracy was hatched amongst JNPA officials and private persons and entities, which caused the loss. The official statement released on June 20 midnight, said that a consortium of a Mumbai-based private company and another Chennai-based company under a Capital Dredging Project for increasing the depth of navigational channel to facilitate entry of vessels to Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Nhava Sheva, Mumbai, was awarded contracts under the project, while a private consulting company from Mumbai, acted as the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for JNPA in the said project. 'It was alleged that during the maintenance of dredged channels in Phase-I of the project, JNPA made excess payments aggregating to ₹365.90 crores to the contractors against claims raised for over dredging of channels. However, in Phase-Il of the project, which overlapped with the maintenance period of Phase-I, JNPT made an additional excess payment of ₹438 crores to the contractor, showing that no over dredging was done in Phase-l or maintenance period thereof,' the CBI's statement read. Searches were conducted at residential premises of officers of JNPA, the consulting company and offices of accused private companies at five different locations in Mumbai and Chennai which led the investigating team to the recovery of several documents relating to the Capital Dredging Project, digital devices and documents showing investments made by public servants. 'The documents recovered are being examined. Further investigation in the matter continues,' the officials said.

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's family may have to vacate Rs 150000000000 ultra-luxurious Antilia due to…, land was owned by...
(File) When you think of Antilia, it typically conjures images of unparalleled luxury and grand hyperbole. It is frequently described as India's version of Tony Stark's contemporary mansion, only grander, more authentic, and far more extravagant. This residential behemoth is valued at an astounding Rs 15,000 crore, steeped in fascination and located on Mumbai's Altamount Road. Surprisingly, the Ambanis live on the 27th floor. Mukesh Ambani, India's richest person, and his family may face a possible legal issue regarding their 27-story house, Antilia, in Mumbai. Antilia is estimated to be worth Rs 15,000 crore, and it's back in the news following the enactment of the newly passed Waqf Amendment Bill, which has once again raised questions about the ownership of the land on which Antilia is built. Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's family may have to vacate Rs 150000000000 ultra-luxurious Antilia due to… AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has reignited the controversy surrounding the plot of land on which Antilia stands. He recently said the land used to be part of a Waqf property. According to reports, the land was supposedly given in 1986 by Kareem Bhai Ibrahim, who provided it for community purposes, including religious education and an orphanage. The land was allegedly sold to Mukesh Ambani in 2002 for Rs 21.5 crore – a sale that understandably continues to attract much interest and interrogation. An Action Taken Report (ATR) in the Maharashtra Assembly highlighted that Waqf Board land is meant for charitable or religious purposes, so it is not supposed to be purchased as private land. Also, a report in Dainik Bhaskar noted that the legal process laid out by the Waqf Board wasn't properly followed during the transaction. Antilia, one of the most expensive homes in the World Despite the continued concerns regarding the legality of the land, the construction of the Ambani residence proceeded. From 2006 to 2010, a design team based in the U.S. handled the design and oversaw the development of Antilia. As of today, Antilia has emerged as one of the most famous and talked-about private homes in the world. The 27-storey skyscraper in Mumbai is equipped with extraordinary features, including an ice cream parlor, a grand banquet hall, 49 bedrooms, 168 parking spaces, a snow room, a private theatre, nine lifts, and even three helipads. Antilia, designed by the Chicago-based architecture firm Perkins and Will, doesn't have a single outdoor AC unit. The case, which has lingered in the Supreme Court for years, has remained ambiguous. However, with the recent enforcement of the amended Waqf Act, legal experts believe the tides may turn. If the court finds the Waqf Board has a valid title to the land, the Ambani family may have to vacate the property. According to Grok and various media reports, the 4,532-square-metre land on which Antilia stands was meant to be used for philanthropic purposes. The plot of land was once owned by an orphanage. In 1986, Kareem Bhai Ibrahim is said to have gifted the orphanage's land to the Waqf Board to establish an orphanage and a religious educational institution. However, the land was sold in 2002 for Rs 21. 5 crore to Mukesh Ambani, which has been controversial ever since. About a decade ago, the Waqf Board submitted a report with an allegation that the land sale did not take the required consequential legal steps. A Dainik Bhaskar report cited by Oneindia Hindi, said that a two-thirds approval of the Board Members was required, which was never held. The report questioned the Charity Commissioner's involvement and said that only the Waqf Board could authorize any sale of properties of its kind. At the time, the then Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis referred that his Government would investigate the matter based on the Waqf Board report. The Maharashtra Assembly later reiterated that Waqf land is intended for the public good and cannot be sold for private purposes. The matter has been in limbo for several years in court, and there are increasing calls for an out of court settlement between the Waqf Board and the Kareem Bhai Trust to determine the ownership status and resolve the dispute.
