  7. Plan of Chicago

    On the 133rd anniversary of the nation's birth, Daniel H. Burnham issued his "Plan of Chicago" as a declaration of independence from the ugliness and confusion that characterized the city after more than a half century of explosive--yet haphazard-- growth.

  8. Chicago's Palmer Castle

    Chicago's merchant prince, Potter Palmer, did the unthinkable on this date: He crossed north of the Chicago River and bought part of a filled-in frog pond on what would become Lake Shore Drive, forever changing the fashionable address for chic Chicago. This would be the site of his castle, he proclaimed, as opposed to his house; the Palmer House was the name of his $3.5 million luxury hotel, rebuilt and fireproofed after the Chicago Fire had made ashes of his first such inn, just a year after it opened. Anybody could stay at his House; his castle would be for himself and his wife, Bertha, the queen of Chicago society.

  9. Chicago's Sandburg Village

    It required Chicagoans of fearless spirit to become pioneer tenants at Sandburg Village. So it was fitting that Anthony Yasillo, a lion keeper at Lincoln Park Zoo, was among the first 10 occupants to move in on this date. The giant project, which ultimately totaled 2,600 units in nine high-rises and adjacent townhouses, was built amid a Near North Side area of blight, brothels and banditry, all pressing in on Chicago's exclusive Gold Coast. Other large urban-renewal projects preceded it, notably in Hyde Park near the University of Chicago and on the Near South Side, but Sandburg, so close to downtown and the Gold Coast, was a crucial test of the ability of the city to repair itself.

  12. A few of my favorite things

    Special to the Tribune
