  1. Backyard Canvas: Adam Schwerner's urban garden

    On a quiet street of century-old cottages in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood sits a house that stands out. It could be the trio of blue wooden ladders rising from the miniature woodland. Or perhaps it's the row of old doors painted in eye-popping hues that line the narrow gangway. There's the terra cotta bowl filled with red glass shards that sprouts "antennae" made from discarded drip irrigation hoses. And there's the rustic wood-hewn arbor over the gate that's flanked by an iron fence topped with yellow-tipped bedsprings. The entire composition tends to stop people in their tracks.

    Roger Ebert's death is mourned by many, but I will remember it as bringing down the curtain on a special guy in a special time: He was multimedia before multimedia was cool. In today's angrily polarized political times, I particularly appreciate how...

  4. Stephen Wade: A telling tale of making beautiful music

    Stephen Wade's affection for the Chicago in which he grew up and that he left long ago is passionate and palpable in the introduction to his astonishing book, “The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience.”

  5. Howells & Hood goes upscale on a large scale

  7. Netsch a true pioneer woman

    Dawn Clark Netsch seemed to have been around forever, and so it seemed as if she always would be.
    Dawn Clark Netsch seemed to have been around forever, and so it seemed as if she always would be. She must have been young once, but from the time she came into my consciousness, 20 or so years ago, she seemed old. I mean old in a good way, the kind...

  9. 'Aliens' playwright Annie Baker takes in Old Town
