Oldest Chicago is about the places that have survived the passage of time.Oldest business: Peacock Jewelers (1838); oldest apothecary: Merz Apothecary (1875); oldest tavern: Schaller`s Pump (1889); oldest theater: the Biograph Theater (1914), and oldest drive-in restaurant: Superdawg (1948). In Oldest Chicago, journalist David Witter highlights dozens of the oldest local treasures in Chicago and its suburban and exurban areas. Remarkable for having survived demolition and extinction for decades, these beloved landmarks have also helped define our city`s landscape, offering continuity and civic identity across generations. Rather than celebrate the past, many of Chicago`s business and political leaders have risen to power by tearing it down. Chicago has lost, and continues to lose, many great civic and cultural landmarks. In recent years, Marshall Field`s and Carson Pirie Scott have vanished from the city`s landscape. Other structures like the Uptown and Ramova Theaters are also in danger of being permanently lost.Oldest Chicago is a reminder of the value of these familiar places and a call to preserve them for a future sense of place.But Oldest Chicago isn`t a just history book–it`s a guide.Everyone tries the newest…why not try the oldest?

In a racially tense 1968 Chicago, Woodson and Ivy Lisle and their 20-year-old grandniece, Cassandra, investigate the disappearance of a family friend`s granddaughter, in a hardcover re-release of a modern urban-noir mystery. By the author of Trip Wire.

Brian Jay Jones crafts a deft biography of the author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip van Winkle": quintessential New Yorker, presidential confidant, diplomat, lawyer, and fascinating charmer. The first American writer to make his pen his primary means of support, Washington Irving rocketed to fame at the age of twenty-six. In 1809 he published A History of New York under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker, to great acclaim. The public`s appetite for all things Irving was insatiable; his name alone guaranteed sales.At the time, he was one of the most famous men in the world, a friend of Dickens, Hawthorne, and Longfellow, as well as Astor, van Buren, and Madison. But his sparkling public persona was only one side of this gentleman author. In brilliant, meticulous strokes, Brian Jay Jones renders Washington Irving in all his flawed splendor-someone who fretted about money and employment, suffered from writer`s block, and doggedly cultivated his reputation. Jones offers a very human portrait of the often contrasting public and private lives of this true American original.
