A Generation of Mavericks
Set in the back streets of Chicago, A Generation of Mavericks follows a group of young adults as they struggle their way through life in a different time within a splintered society that doesn't provide any guidance on how to survive, as previous generations had done. Follow them as they explore unique places like Club Flexibles, which was, 'a dangerous place to be alone at times but it was easy to go with friends. In the back the men would meet to tell stories of fallen women and victorious brawls that they had had and if you remained quiet against the far wall you could get close enough to hear them hoot and call out to the women on the dance floor. It would have been easy to make jest of them, but you'd be pressed to find anyone doing it. In large groups the men became more reckless and cruel and everyone kept a wary eye on them. But if you kept to yourself and wore inconspicuous, dark clothing there was little chance you'd be bothered. It was generally the naïve or the new comers who were at risk.'

The Chosen Game
A few years after its invention by James Naismith, basketball became the primary sport in the crowded streets of the Jewish neighborhood on New York's Lower East Side. Participating in the new game was a quick and enjoyable way to become Americanized. Jews not only dominated the sport for the next fifty‑plus years but were also instrumental in modernizing the game. Barney Sedran was considered the best player in the country at the City College of New York from 1909 to 1911. In 1927 Abe Saperstein took over management of the Harlem Globetrotters, playing a key role in popularizing and integrating the game. Later he helped found the American Basketball Association and introduced the three-po...
Historic Chicago Bakeries
As immigrants came from outside the United States and settled in pockets around Chicago, each neighborhood had its own bakery--and sometimes several. At one time, more than seven thousand bakeries dotted the city streets. Stalwarts like Dinkel's, Roeser's, Weber's, Pticek and Ferrara continue a legacy that shaped Chicago's food traditions: an atomic cake for family celebrations, bacon buns in the morning or a poppy seed bun for hot dogs and pączki and zeppole for holidays. Even the never-ending debate over seeded or unseeded rye. From pioneering bakers to today's cake makers, author Jennifer Billock puts the sweet and doughy history of Chicago on display.
