Evanston Business Evanston, with its close proximity to Chicago, has been a prime location for business for more than a century. But it takes more than desirable real estate to make business succeed. As the Evanston Chamber of Commerce celebrates its 100th anniversary, this display looks at Evanston business and its role in our community. Through challenges and opportunities, Evanston’s businessmen and businesswomen have dedicated themselves—along with residents and visitors—to build a thriving community. We invite you to learn more the evolution of business, the partners who support business growth and the pioneers who weren’t limited because of race or sex. And as we look at the story of Evanston business, we invite you to join us as we prepare for the next century!

Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers.

The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering. Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.
  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014

    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014

    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

Roosevelt Road Letter from the Commissioner Greetings, On behalf of the City of Chicago, the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is pleased to present this Request for Proposals (RFP) for a prime development site within the North Lawndale community. The RFP is a key component of Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot’s INVEST South/West neighborhood revitalization strategy for Chicago’s South and West sides. It includes the largest piece of vacant land on the West Side of Chicago, presenting a unique opportunity to create a development that benefits North Lawndale families, workers and visitors. Its location and scope were coordinated following years of community discussion led by Ald. Michael Scott Jr. involving residents, businesses and other stakeholders. In the spirit of INVEST South/West, the RFP also includes a pre-qualified list of design teams that can help a selected respondent fulfill the City’s diversity and inclusivity goals. Additionally, the RFP includes renderings of potential development concepts that were provided on a pro bono basis through a partnership between DPD and students at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture. DPD staff and our community partners appreciate your interest in the site.

    Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, held December 10 and 11, 2013. Logos: CTA in partnership with Chicago Department of Transportation and Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development Welcome: Welcome to the public open house for the Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment and project. • In April 2013, CTA and CDOT announced a vision for a center running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road and 95th Street to provide a fast and reliable north/ south transit connection for 16 miles through Chicago. The vision reflects the planning process and community engagement undertaken in 2012. • Over the summer, CTA and CDOT heard from various key stakeholders about this plan. We are now holding two public open house meetings as an extension of this outreach to gather additional input from the public. CTA and CDOT are still developing the Ashland BRT design, and we are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public. • The public open house meetings will summarize studies of the project impacts, including traffic analyses, that have been performed as part of the formal Environmental Assessment for the project, in accordance with federal government requirements. The Environmental Assessment is now complete and available on CTA’s website and in hard copy at several community locations. CTA and CDOT would like your comments on the Environmental Assessment, which can be made at the public open houses or by e-mail at [email protected].

    Bravery Is a Character to Defend and Struggle Something Which Is Reputed As the Right Thing for Facing All Forms of Danger and Difficulty

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study According to Paul Findley (2008), bravery is a character to defend and struggle something which is reputed as the right thing for facing all forms of danger and difficulty. Not only men who has bravery in theirself but also women. Nowadays there are still so many women are not brave enough to express their opinion and what they think right to do. Even we know that now women’s emancipation is encouraged, but we still often find Women who get opression from man. Women has enormous influence in life. Women has the same rights as human beings. Women has the same freedom with man to express and do what they want to do, what they think right to do. God has indeed created different between women and men to complement each other. Each has their own rights, obligations, and roles. Perhaps in some cases women and men can exchange roles but that does not necessarily serve as a footing that men and women can replace each other. Novel The Pelican Brief was written by John Grisham in 1994. The Pelican Brief was published and became a huge success book. Almost all off his books were adopted become a movie, five of them are already The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Firm, A Time to Kill, and The Chamber. In 1990 he stoped being a lawyer and resigned from his seat in the state of Legislature to be a writer. He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with his wife named Renee, and his two children Ty and Shea.

    Musings Fall 2017 Newsletter Volume XXI • Number 1 1 From the Chair t has been another extremely busy year for the English Department! As described in better detail on the facing page, we have added a simply extraordinary trio of colleagues to the Department’s faculty: Natasha Trethewey (two term Poet Laureate of the U.S. and a Pulitzer Prize winner); Tristram I th th Wolff (specialist in 18 -/19 -Century British literature, Comparative and Transatlantic Romanticisms, and environmental humanities); and, in happy collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program where she holds a joint appointment, Michelle Huang (specialist in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies). We saw a new degree program, an MFA+MA (in creative writing and English literature), through the long approval process. This program will create new bridges between these two parts of our operations, and we will be conducting the first round of admissions for it this season. The Department also completed a major Self Study and external review process, which was the source of enormous encouragement about our strengths and trajectory and also of new and creative prompts for us to think ourselves and our programs forward, into what will -- soon enough! -- be the middle part of the 21st century. It’s been a very good year for us! Laurie Shannon Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of Literature A Word from EGSO As Evanston prepares for winter we would like to take a moment to think back over the year past. We began the 2016-2017 academic year with our annual Fall Collation, during which Department Chair Laurie Shannon welcomed us back and gave us counsel on the importance of monotasking— nurturing the deep concentration necessary to do work well.
