LOST Felines in Chicago near Millennium Park

I'm posting this as LOST Felines in Chicago. Tonight, around 7:15 p.m., I was walking my two cats, a gray tabby named Zephyr and a calico named Nova, near Millennium Park in downtown Chicago when they bolted. The crowded sidewalks and bright lights frightened them, and they slipped into a narrow alley behind the Art Institute. I called their names until the crowd thinned, my heart pounding with worry. I've been searching the area since and keep hoping someone spotted two curious cats darting into doorways.

Lost organizers near Millennium Park, Chicago

I must have turned my back for a moment after a late event yesterday, and my desk organizers vanished from a bench outside the Art Institute of Chicago, near Millennium Park on Michigan Avenue, around 8:45 pm. They’re two gray plastic organizers with a few sticky notes and a calendar page peeking out. They hold my daily schedules, reminders, and a few family notes—things I rely on to keep my day together. If you’ve seen them, please message me through the site so they can come back to me.

Lost: Medication in Chicago

Monday around 9:15 AM, I realized my daily medication bottle was missing after a quick coffee run near Millennium Park. I was by Cloud Gate, then headed toward the L tracks at Monroe, unsure where it slipped from my bag. The bottle is white with a blue label and contains my daily meds; losing it threw off my routine and made me anxious about missing doses. I’m hoping someone found it and can return it so I can refill the prescription and get back on track.

Found Postcards near Millennium Park

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, around 3:20 PM yesterday, I found a small bundle of postcards lying on a bench near Millennium Park, by the Art Institute's Michigan Avenue entrance. They are bright and a little worn, with photos of the city and a few handwritten notes on the backs. I picked them up and scanned the backs, hoping to see a name or a clue, but the owner was not nearby. The moment felt like glancing into someone else's memories of Chicago, and I wanted to do the right thing. If these belong to you, I hope this helps you reconnect with a piece of your day in this city.

Lost power tools near Lincoln Park, Chicago.

I lost my power tools last Friday around 7:45 PM after I left my apartment on North Avenue, near the Belmont L stop. They were in a black toolbox tucked in the back of my pickup, and I must have dropped them in the alley behind the building. The kit includes a cordless drill, a circular saw, and a handful of drill bits, my go to gear for small home projects. I am frustrated and anxious because the project I am working on matters to me and I am hoping they surface with someone who kept them safe.
