  5. 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.

  7. Taking the kids to Chicago

    The hardest thing about visiting Chicago is deciding where to take the kids first &mdash; Chicago's famous Lakefront where you can ride bikes and in-line skate, or Lincoln Park where you can visit one of the few free zoos (<a href="http://www.lpzoo.org">http://www.lpzoo.org</a>) in the country. (Kids especially love the polar bears.)

  8. 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.

  10. 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 &mdash; car-eating sinkholes, monster storms, pythons in the wild, sharks in the water, alligators in back yards and pit bulls in trailers.
