When Chicago calls
Chicago picks up the 311 phone at every hour, but the shape of who calls — and what for — changes around the clock. Four service-request categories, four distinct rhythms, one 24-hour dial. Street Light Out peaks at 9 p.m.; Rodent Baiting clusters at 10 a.m.; Aircraft Noise tracks O'Hare's commute lobes.
