Tuesday on Eight Forty-Eight, we explore the new CityTarget, which represents a new trend among retailers towards designing more streamlined stores for high-density, commercial areas, with Crain’s Chicago Business retail reporter Brigid Sweeney. And as part of our series Race: Out Loud, WBEZ’s Susie An comes on to talk about awkward situations stemming from race or perceived race; she’s joined by comedians Saurin Choksi and John McBride. We want to hear from you: Ever been put in an awkward situation because of race? Was it funny, uncomfortable or offensive? Let us know: 312-923-9239.
