They offered classes in the evenings downtown. Early 80's, I am an old.

Read that and after some googling was glad to see that life has been unkind to the asswipe that is Jay Mariotti.
I took a class with Ebert, he was the best.

Sold! On my wish list.
Thanks!

And his sister. Before 2008 I remember reading that if you wanted something from Joe, hire his sister the political consultant. Whether it was just access or an actual quid pro quo, who knows. Lost in time now.

Added to my list, thanks!

My grandfather's bar was there

Fellow accountant says hey.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Errol Morris made a documentary, Tabloid

I remember seeing that house when it was for sale and filled with the owner's taxidermied big game hunt 'trophies'. I think there were bears and African game too.
And that train.

What does "in his Truth" mean?

Going to see him Monday night!

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Montana to Chicago as a single mom with kids, stopping to eat and bathroom breaks, meant to stop but two teenagers were really out doing each other in shitty behavior so I just wanted to get home so they'd go slam doors into their rooms.

Yes, former tavern. I know a woman whose family owned it in the fifties and sixties.

Someone was adding a 'for sale' sticker under her name in Austin.

I don't think Conyears-Ervin has anything close to a locked in win.

O'Hare to Midway is interesting. It looks like Forest Preserve trails, through River Forest, Forest Park and Oak Park then Cicero, Stickney (water reclamation plant, the canal and industry)and Garfield Ridge.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My son still uses my place as a mailing address and is in a trade union. I could wallpaper the vestibule almost daily.

I get enough of my own as a geezer.

And there's one in Forest Park at the Mohr Community Center, one block north of the Desplaines Station at the end of the Blue Line.

Yes I have been waiting on a call back from social security to set up an appointment. I was lost in the shuffle a few weeks ago and am starting the process again.

When they knocked all those buildings down I wondered where the calf monstrosity wound up. It was unwieldy and weird, probably moth eaten but one of a kind.

That year teenage me worked across the street at the original Sears on State Street. There were pawn shops on that stretch of craziness full of lots of weird stuff. One had a taxidermied two headed calf in the window.
