Or perhaps it's the row of old doors painted in eye-popping hues that line the narrow gangway.

  3. At Chicago school closing hearings, crowds fade

    After months of jampacked hearings over Chicago's decision to shut down scores of schools, the final round of public meetings — the ones mandated by state law — has often been sparsely attended and overcast by an air of futility.

  4. 2013 outdoor dining and drinking preview
