By now, we have all heard about—and been sufficiently freaked out by—the news that major pharmaceuticals have been discovered in treated Philadelphia drinking water. (Editor's Note: Phillyist originally linked to this story in our news post on Monday.) Antibiotics, anti-convulsants, and mood stabilizers, oh my. While that says too much about the over-medicated state of Americans, our topic here is the water itself. Our first instinct after reading this might be to grab the nearest bottled water. But is that really the best option, even in light of this new study?

Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take her medicine and offered their own suggestions to how the city should capitalize on the local music scene. And everyone thinks that a suggested tax on bottled water is a great idea.

Remember to pack your bottled water and bug spray. Most of the concerts this week are outdoors.
