I’ll continue to be under red flag conditions this week as I aim to complete an intensive project on a tight deadline, but I’m going to really try to produce a column today in-between, as well as deliver some other Beachwood material.
Here are a few new offerings today so far:
* Old Days: Lost Chicago. There’s a whole “lost Chicago” genre – rightfully so – and this is the latest, quick entrant, focusing mostly on roller rinks and drive-ins. Also: a link to a site worth perusing.
* The Chambers Report: Tales of Three Cities. In two books. Our man Bob Chambers contrasts Christopher Buckley’s latest novel with Erik Larson’s Chicago classic, Devil In The White City.
* Get Your Fender Bass On. The Chicago Bass Club talks to a Fenderland pro about the difference between guitars built in the custom shop and those built by “masters.”
More later.
