  1. Making Chicago's top chef

    Grant Achatz moved up the aisle of the plane, his carry-on draped over his gaunt frame. It was October at Reagan National Airport, a rare moment of calm for Chicago's top chef, whose wary eyes belong to a man older than 36, and whose life has been blessed and cursed with incident. He was traveling with his two young sons, and they had just visited with the parents of his girlfriend, food journalist Heather Sperling. They were headed home to Chicago, trudging through the cabin of the plane toward coach, when his younger son, Keller, swung his backpack into a well-dressed man in first class.

  2. Edison Park: Where dining out serves up ambience

    The first time President Barack Obama visited Edison Park he was Illinois Sen. Obama with two preschool children at home. It was an invitation to dine at Zia's Trattoria on "restaurant row" that drew Obama from one end of the city to the other -- from Hyde Park along the lakefront in the southeast section of Chicago to the city limits on the Northwest Side.

  3. Galewood a convenient, close-knit Chicago neighborhood

    Galewood resident Nick Sposato wheels his impeccably-maintained 12-year-old sedan into a Grand Avenue spot and ambles into Reuter's Bakery. A bouquet of confectioner's sugar and chocolate greets him, as do the long-time employees waiting behind the cake- and cookie-filled glass cases.

  4. Avondale: Ethnically rich, changing in character

    Mark Dobrzycki recalls the Avondale of decades ago. At Northwestern Savings & Loan, a financial institution of the era at Belmont and Milwaukee Avenues, lines stretched out the door Friday evenings, he said. Customers, many of them Polish immigrants, were queuing up to deposit hard-won paychecks into their passbook accounts.

  5. Chinatown: A 'hidden jewel' worth seeking

    For Chinese and Chinese-Americans, the word "jia" is not lost in translation. Loosely interpreted, it means family or home, even homeland.

  6. McKinley Park a rich mosaic of cultures

    Like many long-time residents in her working-class neighborhood, Cinthia Miranda takes comfort in the stability and sense of community McKinley Park offers. With its convenient location, cultural diversity and affordable housing, it's no wonder the Southwest Side neighborhood has attracted newcomers and kept the locals firmly in place.

  7. North Park: More for the money and close to nature

    Susan Robbins and her husband were renting an apartment in Andersonville when they decided to take the plunge into homeownership. They found the home of their dreams in North Park -- a brick bungalow that needed repair with a yard that needed work.
