Pretty easy to breeze past an update less critical to you, and lord knows we have enough wasted space talking about other random topics (looking at you, pages-long discussion on how to better market the city...)

Yep. Success starts in many different forms. Facebook was started after Mark Zuckerberg was pissed and drunk in his dorm room, and then when they moved out West it was still small. HP and Apple were both started in a garage and especially Apple, nobody took them seriously except a hobby group they would take their stuff to. Who cares the form? These types of things may not be big right now, but there's no telling if they could become so one day. It's still good to hear about these things no matter what. Sure, not every little one but some of the ones that could become bigger one day, yes. Even a nail salon, which to us men sounds pretty much non-news until you realize just how many nail salons there actually are not only in Chicago but every major city. They're all over the damn place.
