  4. 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. Jellyvision Lab CEO has shaped a culture of fun and hard work

     Sept. 21 is an important date at Jellyvision Lab. For starters, it's Chief Executive Amanda Lannert's birthday. It also happens to be Mustache Day, an annual tradition at the Chicago-based technology company. Employees who are able to grow facial hair start preparing a month in advance, while others don elaborate costumes. At lunchtime, the entire staff decamps to Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao in their mustaches.

  8. The 'Check, Please!' effect

    Popular WTTW-Ch. 11 restaurant show "Check, Please!" is among the most successful locally produced series in Chicago television and an oasis of public television reasonableness in an otherwise frenetic restaurant scene. The series begins its 12th season next month. In the meantime, it will be reruns up the wazoo. Once a season is finished, its episodes are replayed Friday nights (the show's traditional time slot), then again Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It's rerun often, said V.J. McAleer, WTTW's vice president of production, for the obvious reason that it is among the highest-rated shows on WTTW, occasionally <em>the</em> highest rated, with 150,000 weekly viewers. Somehow, though, if you have a DVR set for "Check, Please!" three airings a week seems wrong.

  10. Chanel No. 5's heavy notes of Brad Pitt tickling the wrong senses at the moment

    If you close your eyes, the ad for Chanel No. 5 from 30 or so years ago was larded with the very same kind of gibberish found in today's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGs4CjeJiJQ&amp;feature=BFa&amp;list=PLFAFB93B94B6FF6AE" target="_blank">much-ridiculed spots </a>with Brad Pitt.
