  1. Charity events keep spring social season hot

    Chicago socialites had a difficult decision to make Saturday, with three celebrity-hosted galas taking place at the same time around the city. But for the see-and-be-seen crowd, this was likely a good problem to have.

  4. Fast fashion: SAIC fashion pop-up shop opens May 10

State St. The shop, at street level close to Red Line and Blue Line "L" stops, will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

  8. 3-D technology reshapes Chicago manufacturing

    The machine, no larger than a coffee maker and encased in black like Darth Vader's helmet, hums at a whisper.

  9. Gender-bending rapper Mykki Blanco is Chicago through and through

    Before Michael Quattlebaum was going glamazon in the pages of Vogue, being christened the most exciting thing in the downtown party scene by The New York Times, before he was boasting about being Jay-Z's natural-born legatee in song — which is to say before he was taking the world by force as Mykki Blanco — Quattlebaum was just another School of the Art Institute of Chicago freshman trying to hold it together in the big city.

  12. Benjamin Lytal on 'A Map of Tulsa'

    If Chicago author Benjamin Lytal were the typical writer of semi-autobiographical fiction, his first novel would have been the story of a young man who escaped his hometown in the interior of the country to become immersed in the colorful characters and witty conversation of the New York literary scene. The hometown — in this case Tulsa, Okla. — would barely have registered in the rear-view mirror, if that mirror had been consulted at all. But neither Lytal nor his elegantly crafted debut novel, “A Map of Tulsa,” are the least bit typical. Like Lytal himself, the book's hero, Jim Praley, leaves Oklahoma to go to college in the Northeast, and later works for a magazine in New York.
