Re: “This week's Chicagoan: Dennis Dobrydnia, Vietnam-era vet”
He's a Vietnam War veteran, not a veteran of the "era," as was anyone who was alive in the '60s and '70s. I'm going to assume someone showed this to Mike Miner, too, who's written about the accounts of soldiers being spit upon.
Re: “Zoom in: Uptown”
I'm from Theravada sect. You know, we're quite old-fashioned about this kind of thing, but there are shades among us. for some people its yes, putting Buddha's head on the ground is quite respectful, but I think those people wouldn't make any fuss when it comes to arts. And besides, we all know anything can happen in the west, they already put the head or figure of our favorite teacher anywhere anyway, be it in the shower, closet, garden, doors, etc. so it's no point for crying our hearts out.
Me? I 'm fine with this. In fact, as The artists herself use the object as message of peace and harmony, I feel honored.
Re: “Zoom in: Uptown”
In most Buddhist countries and communities, placing a Buddha statue so close to the ground where people might step on (or worse) is considered disrespectful. I wonder if the artist consulted any Buddhist temples or monks in Chicago ?
Re: “This week's Chicagoan: Saundra Bryant, square-dance caller”
There are gems, notable gems, occasionally a rather unusual, outstanding gem . . . but once in a while a priceless, rare gem is found. Thanks, Sandie for the many opportunities to thoroughly enjoy Square Dancing and your calling. Hal
Re: “This week's Chicagoan: Angie Donenberg, co-owner, Lice Detectives”

Re: “Show us your . . . dressing room”
This is the greatest show. First rate vaudeville acts and wonderful dancers artistically teasing. Most of the audience is always women when I have gone and they have a better time than the men.
Re: “Show us your . . . dressing room”
What a troupe! A helluvalot of fun for a few bucks. Some of the best gags and girls one can see on a Friday night.
Re: “Show us your . . . dressing room”

Re: “Zoom in: Little Village”
The photograph was taken at 16th and Peoria; last I checked, not Little Village.
Re: “Zoom in: Pilsen”

Re: “Zoom in: Pilsen”
I think it's beautiful. Very well executed and compliments the space.
Re: “Show us your . . . kilt”
What a fun article! I invite all men and women who are interested in kilts, men, costumes, beer, not wearing underwear, etc., to learn more about us. Echoing Shawn's note, I encourage all who are interested to join our FB page and to participate in our monthly events. Our gatherings are only as fun as the constellation of people who show up!
