Lonesome George and the Destroyers are on the money with this tribute to Chicago Blues.  George gets some help from Buddy Guy and Charlie Musselwhite on 3 of the tracks but it's all George and his guitar.  I would have rated the album higher but there are only 13 songs, I need more!

Working in a not ok neighborhood, any and all tools had to be packed away at the end of the day and stored in my work vehicle. With that said I've put some "mileage" on these guys.

I used 2 of them for tools and one for materials. I had just about everything in them minus the miter and table saw. They stack very nicely on each other too so there was plenty of room in my Xterra.

I did keep a very conscious mind that this isn't made out of the thickest plastic (it is $50, what did you expect) so I did pick them up over curbs and of course up the stairs.

So far so good. I'm about to start my 3rd renovation now.

What an undertaking! It is 1930 so close to the beginning of the Great Depression. At one point, the author makes mention that the men all work as fast as they can as they know there are a "hundred jobless men" ready to take over in a flash. BUT the men working also realize that once their job is over they could well be joining the jobless line.

The building is shown in stages so it as if you are right there with them. They build 4 1/2 stories each week! The danger is also exposed as you watch the men high up walking the steel beams.

The Empire State Building was opened on May 1st, 1931.

This book is well-written and illustrated. The photos on the inside covers are actual black and white photos of the construction so sn added bonus. An educational "picture book" that captivates the young as well as the old. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This telling account of life on the south side of Chicago is worth reading to catch a glimpse of the struggles and hardships that marginalize this south side community. The narrative and accounts of life in Chicago's public housing complexes unveil the social conflict that is tucked away from viewing and ignored by outsiders.

To shed light on the situation, two teenagers, assigned by the National Public Radio, conduct interviews with family members, neighbors, and friends throughout the text. During the process of their interviews, they describe the everyday life and hopes of escaping the self destruction of  those who must live in the projects especially Ida B. Wells public housing.

The book is a short read of two hundred pages with a reading level of sixth grade. Despite the simplicity of the layout of the accounts, the descriptions of urban city life and death are profound. Since the teenagers' interviews, some of the public housing complexes have been brought down. The south side of Chicago is beginning to prosper as new schools and businesses bring opportunity and hope to a community that seemed abandoned.

Whether you are a student, parent, or professional, reading this book will make you want to take action to rebuild our community.

I love south beach cooking when it is how out. There are some duplications of recipes from other south beach books.

I installed one of these and went to work.  I had built some cupboards and needed to sand into the corners.

This work removes the agency of the New Deal from FDR and places it in the hands of the working class, primarily Chicago.
There is probably some truth in that.

This is a good book in the study of what the working class went through during the depression, it will give you insight.
It is well written, easy to read, and very well documented.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to make extra income on the side. I live in Pittsburgh which is home to 3 major sports teams, multiple concert and theater venues, and other year round events and now I have lots of ideas on how I can profit off the events.

very nice.  Some pieces were smashed, but South Shore replaced them in a couple of days.

Most of the projects were kind of a throwback to many years ago. I know especially in the Midwest we can be considered cutting edge when it comes to craft works. The photography and the artwork that was added were what made it for me.

A great book of stories of the help given and jobs created by Faith Fowler in the Cass area of Detroit. Very funny in places but to the point of doing good in a place that needs all the good it can get. an easy read in short 2-3 page stories.

I would have liked to see more of the re-building process that South Boston went through in the mid-1900's. Other than that it was informative and well-done.

This is a great paper and it has found it's little niche in the San Diego & North County community.  It's so helpful for anyone in the Real Estate, Law or Construction field.  It's also wonderful for your smaller businesses.  It offers business data for companies wanting to generate and gain new leads and keep with the current trends within their industry.

If you are looking for news outside of Southern California then grab your local paper for those stories.  If you live in any part of San Diego and are looking to generate more business then grab this paper you will not regret it.  I am in the Real Estate Industry and I have been successful at using this paper for what it supposed to be used for...building my cliental.  Thank you!

A rags to riches tale set in the post-Depression South. Paul and Bill (hobo names Rat and Roach) team up and travel together for the chance of starting a new life in a new land. They use what would now be called street smarts to make a home out of a ramshackle  abandoned house. Day by day they find a way to feed themselves, earn and save some money, and start a new life for both.  With hard work, a bit of chicanery when called book! luck, and the willingness to take a risk, they become, (well, I won't spoil it for you).  Read this book!

A fall from grace by former Chicago City Clerk James Laski. Interesting since I was born and raised around Chicago. And also since I have a realtive who works in the city clerks office. Typical story of politician who can't keep his hand out of the cookie jar. If you already know the players(I did) it would probably be much more interesting, but outsiders will still get a good look at how the wheels turn in Chicago government.
