  3. Rosenthal: Rejuvenation of South Side the fair thing to do

    President Grover Cleveland pressed an electric switch, powering the pumps for massive fountains. The jets of water in turn cued the unfurling of flags. What was described as "profound silence" gave way to a cacophony, and the World's Columbian Exposition officially opened a few minutes past noon on May 1, 1893.

    For Spiros Argiris and Gus Sellis, the story of their lives is written on the walls.

  5. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise

    "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream" has an elegant, unflinching, non-nostalgic clarity about Chicago that you rarely see in books about Chicago.
    Thomas Dyja looked at me with abject horror, then humor, then, as his face crumbled in defeat, resignation. A face that said, "See? This is why I wrote a 412-page cultural history of Chicago at midcentury that — as much as it pulls together...

  6. Brace yourself for the invasion of the giant mosquitoes

    We've got it all here in Florida, and this isn't even a horror flick — car-eating sinkholes, monster storms, pythons in the wild, sharks in the water, alligators in back yards and pit bulls in trailers.

  7. Opera in Focus: Puppets and opera come together

    It's the damnedest thing:
    It's the damnedest thing: Justin Snyder, his long hair parted down the middle, his head thrown back as though communing with a higher power, the hood of his hoodie grazing the floor, his mouth working silently in time with the strains and surges of an...

  8. 'Animal Inside Out' is Body Worlds' take on beasts and birds

    The last time the Body Worlds people displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry, in a 2011 exhibition showing the development and decline of the human corpus, they included, with seeming incongruity, an ostrich.

  9. Chicago museums reeling after building sprees

    The turn of the millennium was a heady time for many Chicago cultural institutions. Cheap loans, high investment returns and swelling endowments spawned a slew of new attractions along the lakefront and around downtown.

  11. Surgical science museum features tools alongside an artist in residence

    Take a stroll through the exhibits of antique medical devices in the International Museum of Surgical Science on Lake Shore Drive, and your mind might conjure forth images worthy of the 1988 movie “Dead Ringers,” in which Jeremy Irons plays twin gynecologists with a creepy obsession with creating new and disturbing tools for their trade. At the very least, you may find your latent steampunker fascinated by the array of early X-ray machines, prosthetic devices, and I-can't-believe-these-were-ever-legal drugs and potions. (belladonna cigarettes, anyone?) You can even see a real iron lung — and explain to the post-polio generation why it ever existed.

  12. Jacksons' case a tale of runaway spending

    It was the kind of runaway spending usually reserved for someone with newfound riches — a holistic retreat, a cruise, pricey restaurant tabs, flat-screen televisions and even a pair of stuffed elk heads —and former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. admitted he conspired with his then-Chicago alderman wife to pay for it all with campaign money and cover it up.
