City of Progress: And we're back!
http://cityofprogress.blogspot.com/2008/10/and-were-back.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2008. At least for a while. City of Progress has had a busy summer, and an exciting fall is off to a great start. I moved from Liquor Park to Bridgeport - mainly due to the negligence of my landlord. Long story short: $675 a month is a great deal on an apartment as long as nothing breaks. In the meantime, I've put most of my stuff into storage and am living out of laundry baskets and a duffel bag at my girlfriend's place on the Southside. In other news, I'm not in school this year!

City of Progress: An October Sort of City
http://cityofprogress.blogspot.com/2008/12/chicago-is-october-sort-of-city-even-in.html
Monday, December 22, 2008. An October Sort of City. Chicago is an October sort of city, even in spring." - Nelson Algren. Although the perception that Chicago is filled with stoic types, who will put on a heavy coat and pull on a pair of boots in January to go about their business, the truth is that we all tell ourselves it'll all be better soon, that Spring is right around the corner, that winter only lasts three or four short months, and once the dial hits 50, we'll all be back out there again.

City of Progress: On a Journey
http://cityofprogress.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-journey.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. I keep seeing this commercial on TV:. What is it that we remember from our journeys? I'll not be traveling with Louis Vuitton any time soon (not my style). But as I get ready to fly back to Chicago for the holidays, I'm left wondering about the journey that I'm on. Not just the life journey, but also the immediate journey, here in DC. Have I really come face to face with myself? Have I made this trip, or has this trip made something of me? Posted by Kevin Robinson.

City of Progress: January 2010
http://cityofprogress.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. Hello, Old Blog. It's been a while since I've written here. I thought this might be a good time to start writing again. It's a promise I make to myself a few times a year, to write more for my own enjoyment. And like the White Sox after the All-Star break, it's a promise too often broken. We normally spend New Year's Eve in another city - last year it was DC, Toronto the year before that. This year, having traveled quite a bit (San Francisco, Prague and Budapest. Hello, Old Blog.

Monday, January 21, 2008. Martin Luther King, 2008. One of my favorite things to do for Chicagoist is post stuff that wouldn't normally fall into my beat. In the past that's included music reviews. Talking to people that aren't from Chicago, and attending a debate. Between Ron Jeremy and a Pastor committed to helping people leave the porn industry. It also includes writing the about religious. And the occasional reflection on an historically significant figure. Culled from the Chicago Tribune back in 196...
