It’s a fascinating house and each time I walk by I try to figure it out and each time, I can’t [...] Dearest William, I felt the need to write after seeing you on State Street the other day. You looked well. Retirement from the mayor’s office suits you more and more. I hear talk of a new canal that might open up our city to progress. I’ve seen your name attached to it, I hope it goes [...] I’m not much of an event person.

But heck, I enjoy it. But before [...] A Million Times doesn’t necessarily have to focus on the egg and dart, piloti or joists. Sometimes we walk (or ride) by all kinds of things A Million Times and never really take a closer look. So today’s A Million Times is that crazy wall with all the names on it in River North. You know [...] I’ll just admit it okay? I’m part Trixie. I grew up on the North Shore. I went to a nice college. I wear my hair in ponytails and have been known to get a blond highlight or two.
