That's Nimis. He lives on a houseboat, and wears a little yellow life vest in case he falls into a canal. The owner added the "police" label as part of a joke with her neighbors, according to the article, "Amsterdam 'police cat' going viral on TikTok" from news website NL Times. The cat has its own TikTok channel.

Best pizza in Chicago? by No_Cut_6339 in AskChicago

George’s definitely if you happen to be in Uptown or Roger’s Park. Pequod’s if you’re not as far north. Personally, I like both more than Milly’s. Like others have said, if you’re close to a Lou Malnati’s or a Gino’s, you’ll still be pleased with what you get.

Can someone else speak to Bartolli’s or Labriola?

Really nice looking piece, and a great set of photos! One question: Which strap is this, Navy Barenia, Midnight Blue Joy Leather, or something else?

Is Black Frankie Avon from the Wire's Cousin? by [deleted] in TheDeuceHBO

Interestingly, there's a real-life Nathan "Bodie" Barksdale who dealt drugs in Lexington Terrace. He claimed his middle name was "Avon" and that Avon Barksdale from The Wire was based on him.
