For those of you interested in learning more about the history of Chicago architecture, I am posting this link for continuing education seminars provided to me by the Chicago Architectural Foundation. If you’ve got Thursday evenings free during the month of April, consider registering. Who knows, it may encourage you to adopt Chicago Studies emphasis in the near future.

We would also like to compile a list of books related to Chicago, like this one:
Bring on the recommendation from your list of favorites.
The Harold Lounge 
American Pharaoh (Cohen & Taylor), Boss (Royko), Native Son (Wright), Adventures of Augie March (Bellow), Chicago: City on the Make (Algren), There Are No Children Here (Kotlowitz)…those jump to mind immediately for me.
Other authors with Chicago ties: Sandburg, Sandra Cisneros, Lorraine Hansberry, Gwendolyn Brooks, David Mamet, Rebecca Gilman.
Umm…I need to look at my book shelf…
