I put up two very different stories the last few days. One was on Jimmy Terry, a forgotten working-class daredevil who performed one of the craziest stunts in Chicago history. The other was on race in Chicago in 1919, revealed through the letters of two soldiers from the South Side. I also saw the premiere of the new Eastland documentary, which incorporated long-lost footage I found in two archives. It is really great film–I hope that you check it out. Finally, Chicago Magazine chose my Twitter account for their Best of Chicago issue!
