Recommendations
A great site about a great city. Any site that includes a quote from the Sage of Baltimore, H.L. Mencken, has to be a good one.
One of the most thorough and detailed blogs of its kind. Includes a mind-boggling array of outside links on many subjects, events, and personages of note related to Chicago. Highly recommended as, at a minimum, a starting point for any research into the Chicago area.
