Description: Until now, Metropolitan Chicago has had almost everything. Sixteen-inch softball. The most beautiful skyline in the world. Irv Kupcinet. Nonpareil hot dogs and pizza. Clearly, we have the most livable urban/suburban environment in the United States in which prospers the nation's best aquarium, its most popular zoo and the most magnificent cluster of museums anywhere. But something was missing. Until now. And you have it in your hands. The first ever--and thus, indisputably the best-almanac on Metropolitan Chicago produced by the Chicago Sun-Times! We know you'll have fun with it, learn a great deal from it and come to rely on it as the authoritative source for information on this fabulous area in which we live. Enjoy!
