Do you remember Army and Lou’s? What about the late, great Como Inn? Over the last 170-odd years, Chicagoans have dined out in myriad settings to tuck into a range of repasts. Chicago historian and urbanologist Max Grinnell will take you on a tour-du-table, from Beaubien’s Tavern to tasting menus, utilizing rare photographs and visual ephemera. Mr. Grinnell teaches urban studies at the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He is the author of three books on Chicago, including Frommer’s 24 Great Walks in Chicago.

DAWSON CITY:  FROZEN TIME

 

In 1978, a man clearing what was assumed to be a vacant lot in the Canadian city of Dawson made an amazing discovery.  Buried in the earth were hundreds of film reels.  The found reels contained many films long considered lost.  A great tale itself, but filmmaker Bill Morrison has many more stories to tell in Dawson City:  Frozen Time.  "The thrilling documentary Dawson City: Frozen Time is indescribable not because it's ambiguous (it's totally straightforward) but because it does so many things so beautifully it is hard to know where to begin." -- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
