Postcard From Chicago

In Chicago:
- A church launches a Facebook campaign to prevent the city's annual gay pride parade from passing on a Sunday.
- Tow truck drivers are stealing the cars they're tasked with hauling away.
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel is taking a Millenium Court restaurant that gets a great deal on rent to court.
- The city's education task force attacked a new plan to close or turn around 17 schools, saying the district did not do enough to solicit their input.
