'The Garden Conversations' Documents the 61st Street Community Ga
2009-11-01 23:33:00 Photo by Patricia Evans used with permission of www.invisibleinstitute.comAs the camera passes by an unidentified woman she asks, "Are you making a documentary about the death of the garden?" Off camera a man's voice responds, "No, it's the life of the garden." The Garden Conversations is a collaborative effort between videographer Aaron Cahan, photographer Patricia Evans, and writer Jamie Kalven about the gardeners of the 61st Street Community Garden. For nine years gardeners have cultivated land owned by the University of Chicago-- at the intersection of 61st Street and Dorchester Avenue-- on the South Side of Chicago. This past summer the gardeners were given notice that they would have to vacate the property by the end of October, because the...
Ghost Street
2009-11-01 06:01:00 Ogden Avenue and Fry Street Driving north on Ogden Avenue, just past Fry Street, you come upon this concrete railroad overpass, emblazoned with the name of your street and the year "1925." You emerge on the other side, and Ogden abruptly ends. You have just discovered a classic example of urban planning gone wrong. Ogden Avenue is named after Chicago's first mayor, William B. Ogden. Like many of Chicago's major diagonal streets, it follows the path of a Native American trail. The original starting point of the street was Union Park. From there it ran southwest to the city limits and beyond. As early as the 1880s, plans were hatched to extend Ogden to the northeast. In 1903, Alderman William...

The Palace on 12th Street
2009-10-18 08:00:00 3535 W. Roosevelt Rd. Before there was TV or video games, everybody went to the movies--all the time. And the movie theater of the golden age was not some bare-bones, boxy hall of a couple of hundred seats. Fanciful historians talk about the "movie palaces" of the 1920s and 1930s. Palaces they were. Their architects took inspiration from French chateaus or Gothic cathedrals or Turkish seraglios or whatever looked grandiose. You can still see the hulks of a few of them around the city. The Balabans were a Russian Jewish family who had settled on the West Side of Chicago. In 1907 one of the teenage sons got a job singing in a tiny theater on Kedzie Avenue. The...
State Street's Marble Palace (10-12-1868)
2009-10-12 07:01:00 The ad was prominently placed, in the upper-right corner of the front page of the Chicago Tribune. "REMOVAL and OPENING" read its headline. Field, Leiter & Company was coming to State Street. Marshall Field--the man, not the store--had arrived in Chicago in 1856 at age 21. Within a few years he had become a partner in Potter Palmer's thriving dry goods store on Lake Street. In 1867 Palmer sold his share of the business to Field and Levi Leiter. Palmer was now concentrating on real estate. Lake Street had always been Chicago's shopping street. But Lake was only a block from the river and the produce market and all their odors. Palmer thought State Street was the avenue of the...

2009-09-16 01:43:00 The technology winners of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) awards do not disappoint. They impact the world on a global scale or at least very significant parts of it.

Obama to Wall Street 9.14.09: Sun Virgo-Moon Cancer
2009-09-14 16:10:00 It's been a year since Lehman Brotheres failed, as you know the biggest bankruptcy in US history, so I'm looking at last year's Sun-Moon blend to gain a smidge of insight, and also at today's blend as the President heads to Wall Street to ask the leopard to change his spots and cease taking such high risks that our economy falters.With 2009 being a year of a Great Conjunction of the speculator-inflationary pair, Jupiter and Neptune, I wish him luck with that. After all, the New York Stock Exchange was formed under the optimistic rays of a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Airy Libra with this year's conjunction/s in Airy Aquarius.On Sept 14, 2008, the Sun was, of course, in Virgo, but where was the Moon? In often murky Pisces and at Balsamic phase - the dark of the Moon when secretive things may occur under the radar. The Full Moon occurred on Sep 15, 2008 at 5:13 am edt in NY @ 22Pisces54. Sun 22Vir54 was near a 13Vir20 Saturn, with Moon having just moved beyond disruptive Uranus...

Say "yes" to side street snow removal
2009-09-04 21:25:00 I think Mayor Daley may have a good idea with privatizing snow plowing on side streets, but will this lead to bid corruption? The mayor- already admitted to making a mistake on the parking meter lease, but snow removal deployment may be more efficient if privatized. See Dan Mihalopolous's story. Snow on Side Street: Tom Skilling's Blog/WGN I'm going to take a stance and agree with the mayor on this one, as long as we don't have a Bilandic blizzard. For sure, these contractors better be "johnny on the spot" when the snow hits at 2:00 a.m. But if a few of Daley's friends get paid in the process...so what...as long as the streets are clear of the white stuff. ...

Man Sues Salvation Army for injuries sustained at West 63rd Street location
2009-08-21 00:26:00 A Chicago man is suing the Salvation Army for injuries he alleges he sustained at the West 63rd Street location in Chicago. In a complaint filed today in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Anthony Herron describes himself as "a beneficiary in a charitable program conducted by the Defendant," and while performing activities consistent with that program, "wood boards fell on top of him." Herron asserts that the Salvation Army, among other things, "failed to properly place and organize the wood boards," which caused him to fall to the ground and land on a hand jack, sustaining injury.

Cultural Street Festival in Kathu Village
2009-08-18 15:50:00 A couple of weeks ago there happened one of those local events that (for me) makes Phuket special. The area of Phuket where we live is called Kathu, located between Patong Beach and Phuket Town. It's a big residential area with lots of sub districts (Tung Tong, Ket Ho, Bang Tong etc). We live close to the Baan Kathu area, the old village of Kathu. A walk around this area reveals an older, traditional side to Phuket and a mixture of cultures as demonstrated by the Buddhist temple and the Chinese shrine in Kathu. The area was the center of the tin mining industry which was very important in Phuket from the early 19th century up until recent years.Anyways, in the last week of July I saw this sign (above) in several places in the locality at main road junctions. I am sure many other people saw the signs too. So on 5th August in the early evening I headed to the village to see what was going on. The answer? Plenty going on. On that evening only, there was a street procession through the...

Chicago street performers get bad rap
2009-08-18 01:53:00 Instead of "Margaritaville," Fritz Legros should probably be playing the blues.Legros--also known as "Fritz, the one-man band"--is a regular performer on CTA platforms. He was serenading riders Thursday afternoon at the Jackson Blue Line stop with Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville" and "I'll Be There" by the Jackson 5.He was the Jackson 1: Legros strummed the guitar, blew into the harmonica around his neck and used one foot to shake a maraca while the other played a tambourine.But Legros was less upbeat about the outlook for street performers, who have been getting a bad rap lately. The City Council voted in June to make it easier to revoke a musician's performer license if he or she violates the city's noise ordinance.Though Legros...

Wood Street Urban Farm in Englewood
2009-08-06 20:27:00 The Wood Street Urban Farm is a USDA Certified organic production farm in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood. It was started in 1992 by Les Brown, Director of Policy for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, who passed away in 2005, as a training program for the homeless and jobless. Today, the Wood Street Urban Farm employs 30 part-time workers, including ex-offenders, and provides job training while helping to alleviate the food desert problem in the area. They estimated they'd grow about 10,000 lbs of produce this year on just 2/3 of an acre. You can see a photo gallery at the Sun-Times website and a segment from CLTV below that profiles the urban farm. What are they growing in Chicago...

I might like you more if, after reading this poem, you showed me your boobs. While you’re taking pics, know I’d also like to see your ass and/or vag. Don’t spread your legs, though; I’m looking for sexy, not biology class. You can send the photos to norris93 at the gmail, and I’ll look at them at my leisure.

Merrill Lynch raised its rating on the telecom-equipment maker to buy from neutral, saying the stock is oversold after falling 20% from its recent peak.

Outsiders At 125 S. Clark Street
2009-06-30 16:35:00 You may disagree, but I think that the Broad Residents program is a pretty interesting model. Not that most Broadies should be put in charge of everything, as may sometimes feel like it's the case at CPS, but that central offices shouldn't just be full of people who were trained as teachers and school leaders. The program gives fancypants outsiders a chance to put their money where there mouths are, and hopefully learn some things on the inside. I recently joked that there should be a Broad Residents program for union locals. Anyway, the Broad Class of 07-09 just "graduated," and mentioned among them was Aarti Dhupelia, Chicago Public Schools, who apparently "led the effort to develop a new 5-7...
