  1. Part 3: 10 things you might not know about the West Side

    The West Side often gets a bad rap — known for the 1968 King riots, the traffic jams on the Eisenhower Expressway and pockets of high crime. But it's also an area with rich history, warm neighborhoods and fascinating people:

  3. The Chicago History Museum store

    The Chicago History Museum store is revamping everything, including its book selection, which takes up one wall of the sunlit Lincoln Park shop. Newly managed by Event Network, a specialty retailer for cultural attractions across the country, the store is realigning its book selection to serve the museum's mission. "We're trying to get a tighter selection of Chicago history books and things that are really focused on the museum's collections and exhibitions," said store director Jennifer Vlna. Many of the museum's exhibits, such as the dioramas on the Great Chicago Fire and the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, are complemented by books in the store, such as Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America." There are shelves of books by Studs Terkel and about Abraham Lincoln, picture books and maps, current and back issues of Chicago History magazines, local titles in the "Images of America" book series complete with sepia images of Chicago's ethnic neighborhoods, and "The Encyclopedia of Chicago." Though the Chicago authors' shelf is sparse, Vlna expects that it will grow with the store's mission-oriented redesign.

  6. Beverly: A little town in the city to put down roots

    Inside the Top Notch Beefburgers diner on 95th Street, things haven't changed much for decades. Owner Diran "Speedy" Soulian no longer flips hamburgers with the verve that earned him his nickname, but at age 80 he still runs the show. He still makes the burgers and French fries from scratch. (Note the unbutchered hind quarter in the cooler and the boxes of potatoes awaiting peeling.) Chicago's finest still watch over the lunch crowd from their table in the center. And, the sign on the front door still says "Cash Only."

  11. The World's Columbian Exposition at the 'White City'

    The World's Columbian Exposition, which opened on this date, was the most famous world's fair ever held on American soil. The fair, a celebration by the nation--and the world--of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, had been the subject of a fierce competition among Chicago, New York, Washington and St. Louis.
