With the Green Music Fest this weekend we started checking out other carbon-friendly bashes that might be happening here in Chicago.
Carbon Day is a time when all of us look at our carbon footprint and see what we can do to make it smaller. The kick off event leading up to Carbon Day (September 15) will be held next week on August 20th at District Bar 170 W. Ontario.
Proceeds from this event will benefit Lincoln Park’s Carbon Day Festival. To learn more click here.

Local resident Angelo Petitti Sr. was a true scholar when it came to 19th century history books. Upon his return from World War II Mr. Petitti brought home the book bug from a college professor he met while stationed in Belgium.
He was known for his ability to appraise American history books in collectors’ circles and his most prized book was an extremely rare 1812 account of treatises between Native Americans and the US Government.
