Download or read book Park Ridge Memories written by Vic Larson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois is seen here through the eyes of a long time resident. Beginning in 1954, this is not a traditional history book, but rather the author's memoir from birth through age 36 and beyond. The 50s, 60s and 70s were a time of great change in this town just outside of Chicago city limits. It's the place Hillary Rodham Clinton called home. The author describes memorable events that shaped his life as a "Park Ridgie," a term he came to understand after marrying the daughter of a Chicago cop. But first, he journeyed through Madison Elementary, Lincoln Junior High and Maine South high school. Park Ridge is a beautiful, isolated stop on the tracks heading out to Fox Lake. It is in a prime geographic location with desirable access to expressways, O'Hare airport and the City of Chicago. This results in it being populated by people of means, huge renovated houses, a desire for upscale opportunities for dining and shopping and a country club at the heart of it all. If you weren't aware that some observers of your suburban oasis react viscerally to your nice clothes, fancy cars and general good fortune, you've hereby been put on notice. Park Ridge balances small town feel with upper class aspirations. And it's the people that make it great. Seventy essays will take you from the Cuban Missile Crisis to The Summer of Love, Hot Dog Day to the Elbert Smith White Sock Award, with lots of other stops in between. This is a book about a place, but also a time, and lots of fond memories.

Download or read book The King of Chicago written by Daniel Friedman and published by Carrel Books. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King of Chicago is the story of a father-son relationship as real and hugely loving as that in Philip Roth’s Patrimony. At its heart is a young son who tries furiously to heal his father from a violent childhood inside a Chicago orphanage. The orphanage, the Marks Nathan Home, still stands today on the West Side of Chicago, marked by a tarnished, barely legible plaque. Once home to 14,000 Jewish orphans, it is now just another barely remembered relic of a great city. Using original articles from the orphanage newspaper, Friedman attempts to reconstruct and understand his father’s childhood, a time that his father never discussed. Expanding its reach, The King of Chicago becomes a multigenerational saga of Jewish life, moving from a mysterious little man named Kasiel, who arrived in the Port of Baltimore in 1903 with two dollars to his name, to the factory floor of a scrap paper business, a golf course where children played without knowing the rules, and a home on the North Shore among fellow immigrants looking for something better for their children. At its core, this memoir is both a snapshot of immigrant life in Chicago in the early twentieth century and a poignant reminder about the need to never forget who you are and where you come from.

Book excerpt: There is one thing we can be sure of: we are all going to die. But once we accept that fact, the questions begin. In this thought-provoking book, philosophy professor Shelly Kagan examines the myriad questions that arise when we confront the meaning of mortality. Do we have reason to believe in the existence of immortal souls? Should we accept an account according to which people are just material objects, nothing more? Can we make sense of the idea of surviving the death of one's body? If I won't exist after I die, can death truly be bad for me? Would immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever justified? How should I live in the face of death? Written in an informal and conversational style, this stimulating and provocative book challenges many widely held views about death, as it invites the reader to take a fresh look at one of the central features of the human condition—the fact that we will die.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a warm and affectionate narrative that "transports readers back to a time before cable television, cell phones, and the Internet" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution), John Bernard Ruane paints a marvelous portrait of his Irish-Catholic boyhood on the southwest side of Chicago in the 1960s. Capturing all the details that perfectly evoke those bygone days for Catholics and baby boomers everywhere, Ruane recounts his formative years donning the navy-and-plaid school uniform of St. Bede's: the priests and nuns; bullies, best friends, and first loves; and most memorable teachers -- including the miniskirted blonde who inspired lust among the fifth-grade boys but was fired for protesting the Vietnam War. Here are stories from the heart of his hardworking, blue-collar family: the good times and bad; sibling rivalries; summers by the lake; delivering newspapers in the frigid Chicago winter; the fire that destroyed the family home; and the loss of their beloved mother to cancer. And here are priceless accounts of Ruane's days as an altar boy: from an embarrassing bell-ringing mishap, to serving a strict pastor who built a magnificent church but couldn't inspire Christian spirit, to the Heaven-sent guitar-playing priest who turned worship around for a generation of youth.
