  1. Green highlights

    SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
    You can see the stars from the tower that tops Stuart and Margaret Walker's Lake Bluff home. "We call it the office," said Stuart Walker, "but really, it's a lot more than that." It's like the "tree house the 10-year-old in me always wanted," Stuart...

  2. Party police

    Whatever you do, don't call them bouncers.
    RedEye
    Whatever you do, don't call them bouncers. They're the people who keep Chicago's nightlife safe, screening the patrons who line up to enter clubs around the city, breaking up fights inside and, if you have too much to drink, making sure you make it into...

  3. At indie craft fair, a common thread

    If you're planning to attend a holiday arts and crafts show sometime in the next few weeks — say, for instance, the massive, annual Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market at the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse in Noble Square, which wraps up Sunday — please allow me a moment to play personal shopper:

  4. Group sends female inmates books

    The message itself was simple: "I was so alone and then I got your package," it read. "Thank you so much. I love the books. Thank you and God bless." Yet there was something about the handwriting, a delicate and elegant script, that moved Megan Bernard to fold the note up and put it in her wallet, where she keeps it still. "It was just so human, so personal, that it really resonated with me," said Bernard, a volunteer with Chicago Books to Women in Prison. "It's a very grounding reminder that even if you can't overhaul the prison system, you can at least reach back to someone who is reaching out to you." For 11 years, the group has been reaching out to incarcerated women with the gift of literature and human connection, reassuring those on the inside that they're not forgotten and reminding those on the outside not to forget.

  6. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich arrested on federal charges

    The predawn rousting of Gov. Rod Blagojevich from his Ravenswood Manor home Tuesday marked a stunning climax to a tale of alleged public corruption unmatched in Illinois' storied history of elected scoundrels and thrust the state into an unprecedented political crisis.

  7. Down to earth

    Special to the Tribune
    Steve and Jackie Smith were early adopters of geothermal energy in the 6,000-square-foot home they built in Prairie Grove in 2002. Their three geothermal units provide almost all the heating and cooling, as well as hot water, they need in their McHenry...

  8. Ravenswood a neighborly 'hood

    Cartographically speaking, Chicago is pretty neat. There exists a grid of streets occasionally bisected by diagonals to create six-cornered intersections -- the proverbial root of the Chicago "hard left" versus the "soft left." There are abandoned railroads in the midst of being adopted into nature trails; there are pedways that exist exclusively underground. And on the North Side, spanning about five miles from end to end, there's an avenue that's split evenly down the middle by the Metra tracks, creating two parallel corridors bordered by prairie-like bunkers and lined with a fascinating cross-section of industry.

  9. Roscoe Village: So hot, it's cool

    Patrick McDermott and his wife, Katie, ride their bikes to the lakefront, over to Fellger Park and to softball games at nearby Hamlin Park. They often walk to Roscoe Street to shop the boutiques and grab a sandwich at Costello's. Living in Roscoe Village for the past two years has made it easier for them to go where they want to go without ever opening the garage door.

  10. A screen's-eye view of Chicago

    Chicago has been involved in filmmaking since the technology's very beginnings in the early 1900s, when some of the world's first movie studios operated here. From those early days, when neighborhood kids would sneak onto the Selig Polyscope Co. lot at...

  11. Rare treats

    Rodrick Markus reached for the top shelf of a metal cabinet at the back of his office. "I know, I know, I know," he said to himself. His fingers worked across a row of jars and stopped at a tall glass cylinder. I had asked him about rare ingredients. Rare ingredients is about 40 percent of what he does. He locates tough-to-acquire things for chefs who, being chefs, want something especially bad when they are told it will be impossible to get. Rare vegetables, salts, oils, spices, nuts, fish eggs — he finds the guy who locates the guy who heard of the guy who knows the guy who knows about, say, a place in the Pacific Northwest where, with the right permit at the right time, you can forage for a rare pine bark that grows 25 feet in the air.
