This Issue
It's the 2013 edition of our summer guide. We go to Mount Carroll for the haunted house, Northport for the herring gulls, Saint Louis for the interactive art, and Flossmoor and northwest Indiana (by bike) for the beer. There's also a calendar with something to do every day for all 110 days of summer, plus guides to this summer's farmers markets, patios, fairs and festivals, music festivals, and Chicago Craft Beer Week. Deanna Isaacs wonders if we really need the Great Chicago Fire Festival, and Ben Joravsky explains Mayor Emanuel's don't-ask-because-we-won't-tell FOIA policy. And on the B Side, nine Reader writers review 14 albums from all over the musical map.
