Finally you can tell when the bus will get to your stop. I hate waiting for the bus.

Movies in the Park

2006-07-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

The movies begin tomorrow in Grant Park with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and continue every Tuesday til the summer ends.

King Tut

2006-07-01T19:03:00.000-07:00

Jewel has a discount code for King Tut. Just spend $25 and the discount code will appear on your receipt. And get your tickets in advance.

FBI Agent Chris Saviano Stop Raping My Wife

2006-06-19T19:10:00.000-07:00

This guy stands outside of the Daley Center. Today he was passing out some yellow post-its. I think it's a viral marketing campaign. How else could he stand outside every day?

cta brown line

2006-04-11T19:29:00.000-07:00

What I don't understand is how just one year ago, the cta was telling us that they had to raise fairs or suspend train lines, now they're undertaking this million dollar renovation. So corrupt.

Berghoff Closing

2006-01-02T09:29:00.000-08:00

After more than 100 years the Berghoff Restaurant is closing. Rumor has it that Carlyn Berghoff Catering will take over the space as a banquet hall, so at least it will stay in the family. For the last two weeks there has been a line down the street of folks trying to get one last chance of eating at this famous locale.

keepitfields.org

2006-01-01T09:24:00.000-08:00

The site hosts a petition to keep it Marshall Fields and not Macys. I'm not sure if it will help, but they may get the message if enough people sign.

The Chopping Block

2005-12-13T18:26:00.000-08:00

If you haven't taken a class here yet, it's definately worth the expense. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the meals you cook are simply fantastic.

Capt'n Nemos

2005-12-07T18:45:00.000-08:00

The original northside sub. This family owned business treats you like you're a member. The soup is fantastic, the subs can't be beat, and you can't beat great service like this.

Cupcakes

2005-11-28T20:28:00.000-08:00

This place is HORRIBLE. The people there are rude and unfriendly. I wanted to order 100 cupcakes and they wouldn't give me the time of the day. I guess they don't need my money so I ordered the cupcakes from somewhere else.

Millenium Park Skating

2005-11-27T20:29:00.000-08:00

If you haven't already gone skating this winter head over to millenium park. It's great to skate in such a Chicago setting.

Pompeii exhibit at the Field Museum

2005-11-26T20:30:00.000-08:00

If you haven't seen all of the Pompeii banners downtown, there's a great new exhibit at the Field Museum. They've captured the life and times of locals during that time as well as preserved their remains.

Marshall Field windows - Cinderella

2005-11-25T20:32:00.000-08:00

The windows at Field's this year are purely whimsical as you watch Cinderella's story. Also, pop in to Fields if you're there on the hour, they have a light show in the atrium.

Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe

2005-11-23T20:34:00.000-08:00

Next time you're headed down Michigan avenue towards or from the loop stop into Moonstruck for some amazing hot cocoa. Each drink comes with a sample chocolate.

Wicked

2005-10-17T18:25:00.000-07:00

It's a good story. I love what they did with the scarecrow. And how they explained all of OZ and its oddities. But there's too much singing and dancing.

Carmen at the Lyric

2005-10-15T20:48:00.000-07:00

Carmen is once again at the lyric opera house. Ms. Graves does her magic in the title role. Although I was rooting for her to die. What does that say?

Fontana Fresco

2005-10-14T20:49:00.000-07:00

Make sure to check out Rick Bayless' new "restaurant" at Marshall Field's on State Street's 7th floor eatery. Rick was there today supervising.

Eatzis

2005-10-09T14:17:00.000-07:00

It's the latest prepared food extravaganza to hit Chicago. Located in the lower level of the Century, it's no Dean and Deluca, but it's a nice addition to Chicago.

10 Pin Bowling

2005-10-06T16:48:00.000-07:00

I finally got to 10 Pin and I was a bit disappointed. This place is not as sleek as all of the media has been saying it is. The only cool part is they have a video jukebox and the videos appear projected in large screens above the pins.

Marshall Fields -- The end of an era

2005-09-26T17:05:00.000-07:00

I'm sure you've already heard. Marshall Fields is to be bought by Macy's. I thought the changes they made on the State Street store were fantastic. I guess Carson's is now our only department store. I hope it gets a revival soon.
