During the 1950s, Siebkens helped spark a motorsport revolution, Elkhart Lake hosted open-road sports car races from 1950 to 1952. Much of the street circuit still exists and I was able to run a few of the turns during my morning rum.

End of an era. After a 177-year run, Schlitz is on an indefinite hiatus. I’m grateful to Long Room for letting me bring in my vintage barware to toast the final keg. "The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous." You’ll be missed. #SchlitzBeer #ChicagoBars #BeerHistory #ChicagoHistory

I am 1 of 106,000 commuters who come to work via rail. The Ogilvie transportation center and corresponding Riverside Plaza is a fury of foot traffic. Not a lot of small talk or eye-contact, just people trying to get where they are going.

Heart breaking, Anna Maria Pasteria is closing after 35 years.. From anniverssary dinners to martinis with my father, the neighborhood will not be the same without them. It’s been a tough couple of years with their head waiter passing and the recent car crash into their building.

Every spring we hang ferns from our porch. To our surprise we had a visitor move in. A mother robin laid baby blue eggs, I decided to move our cam from the garage to above the nest. My kids have been watching in anticipation, we are pleased to report there are 5 hungry beaks.

While on a bike ride, had the pleasure of running into @4bachor a number of years ago. Big fan of his art and public service. Great to see @WGNNews do a piece on his work. https://t.co/aUWhcFd4ms
