"Chicago is a tale of two cities," headlines declare. This narrative has been gaining steam alongside reports of growing economic divisions and diverging outlooks on the future of the city. Yet to keen observers of the Second City, this is nothing new. Those who truly know Chicago know that for decades--even centuries--the city has been defined by duality, possibly since the Great Fire scorched a visible line between the rubble and the saved. For writers like Alex Kotlowitz, the contradictions are what make Chicago. And it is these contradictions that form the heart of Never a City So Real. The book is a tour of the people of Chicago, those who have been Kotlowitz's guide into this city's - and by inference, this country's - heart. Chicago, after all, is America's city. Kotlowitz introduces us to the owner of a West Side soul food restaurant who believes in second chances, a steelworker turned history teacher, the "Diego Rivera of the projects," and the lawyers and defendants who populate Chicago's Criminal Courts Building. These empathic, intimate stories chronicle the city's soul, its lifeblood. This new edition features a new afterword from the author, which examines the state of the city today as seen from the double-paned windows of a pawnshop. Ultimately, Never a City So Real is a love letter to Chicago, a place that Kotlowitz describes as "a place that can tie me up in knots but a place that has been my muse, my friend, my joy."Binding Type: Paperback

Very nice shirts but unusually long sleeves
Size: Large, Color: Light Green
PJ PAUL JONES Mens Dress Shirts Wrinkle Free Stretch Button Down Shirt. I bought white, coffee, grey, autumn green and apricot. Colors are true to the ads. I'm 6' , 170 lbs. I bought these in Large. They fit very well in shoulders, chest, and my big belly. As many reviews have stated, the sleeves are unusually long - coming down past my palms to my fingers. I would give them a 4 rating for that but I bought them with the intention of making them short sleeve. The white shirt is just too nice to change so I'll reserve that for weddings and funerals. The apricot is very nice but I just wouldn't wear that color as a casual shirt but it does go with my brown blaser so I'll keep it for rare occasions. I washed them in warm and put them thru warm dryer and didn't notice any shrinkage which I wouldn't
expect with polyester. Very good shirts at very good price.

A Solid Buy
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Purchased this shirt to wear to a concert. I love the material because it's stretchy and flexible unlike the traditional cotton. It's mainly wrinkle free but I ran a warm iron to get out the creases from being folded. I wore this with gray pants and it made my outfit feel put together. The sleeves are very easy to roll up and won't come undone. A very nice shirt to add to your clothing collection.

Good looking shirt that runs a bit big in sizing.
Size: X-Large, Color: Green Gray
Nice looking shirt for dress up or casual wearing. Feels like silk, pretty wrinkle free. Lots of colors to chose from at a good price. Runs a bit big in size. I found the sleeves very long for me. But I like the casual look, feel and coolness in the heat of summer for a long sleeve shirt.
