Summary:
"Every day is the anniversary of some historical or cultural moment in the great city of Chicago. Whether it's the dedication of the Pablo Picasso sculpture downtown on August 15, or the arrest of Rod Blagojevich at his Ravenswood home on December 9, or a fire that possibly involved a cow on October 8, each day is redolent with the power of the past. Here, acerbic Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg takes us on a tour of the year, illuminating the famous, obscure, tragic, and hilarious elements that make each day in Chicago one to remember"-- Provided by publisher.
