More than any other city, Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. From the earliest days of its history, Chicago's neighborhoods have built the city's diverse, rich, and sometimes colorful character. Learn how these 9 iconic Chicagoland neighborhoods got their names.

In 1868, alderman and land developer Charles Wicker attended a meeting of the Chicago Board of Public Works at which the board announced its intention to build a park ""lying west of Milwaukee avenue and south of North avenue."

So, as home renovation budgets soared, how did homeowners spend their renovation dollars last year? And where will they spend that money going forward?

Whether you pour yourself a mug first thing in the morning, sip a cup after a big meal, or turn to it for that mid-afternoon boost, millions of people here in Chicagoland and across the country are passionate about their coffee.

Want to enjoy the convenience of your favorite coffee shop in the comforts of your very own home? Setting up an at-home coffee station is a great way to make sure that getting your daily java feels a whole lot easier — and cozier, to boot! Ready to step up your coffee game?
