City In Review: Chicago

Metropolis Coffee gets a license; O'Hare data otherwise blank

Metropolis Coffee Company T-5 picked up a consumption-on-premises license in May. Everything else in the official record came back zero—no permits, no 311 requests, no reported crime. That's a hard drop from April's 9 permits ($5.7 million), 29 new licenses, and roughly 16,000 service requests. The numbers suggest incomplete reporting or a data gap rather than a genuinely silent month.
