  1. Violence, Chicago and its storytellers

    A decade or so ago, executive and philanthropist John H. Bryan Jr., the former CEO of Sara Lee Corp., raised a broad swath of the roughly $475 million needed for Millennium Park, the biggest and most successful cultural project in Chicago since the Columbian Exposition. He did so by putting together a coalition of donors, many of whom lived and worked in the suburbs.

  6. Movie secrets are there, in the script!

    You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, <em>really</em> about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using guerrilla tactics and inferior weaponry. Oh, there's more here, but...

  8. Group sends female inmates books

    The message itself was simple: "I was so alone and then I got your package," it read. "Thank you so much. I love the books. Thank you and God bless." Yet there was something about the handwriting, a delicate and elegant script, that moved Megan Bernard to fold the note up and put it in her wallet, where she keeps it still. "It was just so human, so personal, that it really resonated with me," said Bernard, a volunteer with Chicago Books to Women in Prison. "It's a very grounding reminder that even if you can't overhaul the prison system, you can at least reach back to someone who is reaching out to you." For 11 years, the group has been reaching out to incarcerated women with the gift of literature and human connection, reassuring those on the inside that they're not forgotten and reminding those on the outside not to forget.

  9. Bar faceoff: High Noon Saloon vs. Ay Chiwowa

    Could it be the Big Star effect? While Paul Kahan's ridiculously popular Wicker Park taco-and-whiskey garage was a novelty when it opened more than three years ago, the idea of the casual Mexican-inspired bar is catching on. River North's <a href="http://chicago.metromix.com/venues/mmxchi-ay-chiwowa-venue" target="_blank">Ay Chiwowa</a> (311 W. Chicago Ave. 312-643-3200), Rockit Ranch's trendy take on a taqueria, and Wicker Park's <a href="http://chicago.metromix.com/venues/mmxchi-high-noon-saloon-venue" target="_blank">High Noon Saloon</a> (1560 N. Milwaukee Ave. 773-227-9339), a Tex-Mex sports bar, both have opened within the past six weeks with plenty of tortillas and tequila to go around. I visited both newcomers to find out which bar packs the most spice.
