    Looking back, I have to admit it was well-played. He was a young guy, mildly scruffy but not remarkably so. He approached almost apologetically on the "L" platform, holding out a train schedule and handwritten directions about transportation to Indiana....

  8. Working art

    When Sandro Miller opened his photography studio in a former CTA bus repair garage, some 23 years ago, he befriended the gang running the rough West Town neighborhood by inviting its members inside to shoot their portraits. In exchange, he said, they protected his building.

  9. DePaul arena part of Emanuel's $300 million in projects

    Beginning the second half of his term this week, Mayor Rahm Emanuel moved to shift the civic conversation away from questions of crime and school closings toward a roster of publicly funded tourism projects, including a DePaul basketball arena at McCormick Place, that he says can propel Chicago's stature as a business and leisure destination.

  12. Being numb to it all no longer big shock

    Sometime in the next few weeks, if you're walking down Fullerton Avenue around DePaul University and have 15 minutes to spare, duck into the tidy brick building alongside the CTA station. Here you will find the DePaul Art Museum, an institution so humble that only "Art Museum" is spelled across its modest facade. The admission is free, though the lessons offered in its first gallery, at least through June 16, feel priceless.
