This is a story of a time when I had my identity mistaken by someone and I didn’t correct them for 2 years.

The Third City Cover

I had a chance to talk with professor Larry Bennett about his new book “The Third City: Chicago and American Urbanism.” I felt very lucky to talk with professor Bennett because I knew this would be an opportunity to learn more about my city.  It was like I had gone to a great lecture about the history of Chicago development, except I got to ask questions as we went along.  The book can be found at the University of Chicago Press.

ramou: I’ve been really into Vocalo since moglo was on The Morning AMp! and now prefer to listen to it over my local NPR station. They were just talking about the Biebs and then immediately played Baby followed by Kanye’s Runaway Remix ft. JB and I love them for it. Also, they had some members of Roundhouse Productions’ all-female cast of Reservoir Dogs on earlier this week and I’m sad that I can’t go so all you Chicago kids should definitely see it and report back.

Shantell Jamison and I square off on whether race has a big effect on whether people succeed.

Shantell says, “yes absolutely without a doubt.”

I was saying, “maybe not.”
