    Watching the river flow in Skokie

    http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ watching-river-flow-in-skokie.html

    People disagreeing everywhere you look, Makes you wanna stop and read a book. Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook. But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though, No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow, And as long as it does I'll just sit here And watch the river flow.

    Celebrate the Freedom to Read

    http://www.thechicagotraveler.com/ celebrate-the-freedom-to-read/

    I’ve always been an avid reader, and it always shocks me when any book—especially those that I read as a child—are proposed to be banned. How can people speak of defending our democratic freedoms when they want to take away our freedom to read? Tomorrow begins Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read, an annual celebration of all books that have ever been banned or challenged.

    http://www.thechicagotraveler.com/ civic-opera-building/

    If you’re fortunate enough to take an architectural tour down the Chicago River, one of the most memorable buildings is the Civic Opera Building (a.k.a. Civic Opera House). Across the River from the Riverside Plaza and across the street from the UBS Tower, this limestone skyscraper is shaped like

    Walking the Talk

    http://www.5minutesforgoinggreen.com/ 222/ walking-the-talk/

    When I realized I was ready to take the next step in my journey going green, I signed up for the Chicago Conservation Corps (C3) Leadership Program. Their mission is to recruit, train and support a network of volunteers who improve their surrounding communities and schools through environmental service projects protecting our water, cleaning the air, restoring the land and saving energy.

    Remembering S.S. Eastland

    http://www.thechicagotraveler.com/ remembering-ss-eastland/

    At Wacker Drive and La Salle Street stands a plaque commemorating the Eastland Disaster. While this was one of the worst tragedies in the United States, it is remarkably unfamiliar to most people. The S. S. Eastland was a passenger ship that was used for tours in Chicago.

    65 East South Water Street: What’s My Name Again?

    http://www.thechicagotraveler.com/ 65-east-south-water-street/

    I know what you’re thinking. This 1928 24-story high-rise doesn’t look like interesting at all. And you’re right. There’s nothing about it physically that makes it stand out. Rather, what makes this building distinctive is its name… or perhaps, lack thereof.

    The Long Arm of Columbus Drive Bridge

    http://www.thechicagotraveler.com/ columbus-drive-bridge/

    The Columbus Drive Bridge may not look like much, but it is actually the second-longest bascule bridge in the world. (If you happen to know which is the longest, I’d love to hear from you. I had difficulty finding this information.) A bascule bridge is the movable type of drawbridge which people
