Lessons from Wonderland
This past weekend I was one of the millions of moviegoers across the country to experience the 3-D version of the movie Alice in Wonderland. Being a big fan of Johnny Depp and director, Tim Burton, I had been waiting to see the movie for over a year. I am happy to report that in [...]
Run, Chicago, Run!
We’re almost there…It took a month before ballots were counted and Bill Brady was declared the winner on the Republican side of the gubernatorial ballot. Now for the Democrats to chose a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Did you know that they are accepting applications for this position? Yes, they are!
Of course we have no idea [...]
Urban Gardens, Local Food!

Backing the Blackhawks
Unless you’ve been hibernating this winter, you’re aware that Chicago’s hottest sporting attraction takes place on ice. The Blackhawks return to action on Tuesday, March 2 after a two-week, Olympic hiatus. But no matter what medals are won or lost in Vancouver, hockey’s stock is certainly rising in Chicago.
