Sidetrack-Our Pick for a Super Gay Bar

March 31, 2010

SidetrackBar

The story of Sidetrack Chicago is an American tale.  It all started in 1982 when it was a one room bar and beer cases were used for seating. As consumers grew, it allowed for expansion into more rooms. The bar had its own coming out when, in 1994, they debuted their outdoor sign and a window to open the space.  Today, it has many bars within including a courtyard, glass bar, Cherry Lounge, upper deck bar.  The spaces can hold up to 1000 people.  And its gorgeous! My favorite is when they have Showtune Mondays. When in Chicago Go Go Go, enough said!

Teacher of Equality Dies-Jaime Escalante

March 31, 2010

muralThe 1988 movie, Stand and Deliver, told the true story of Jaime Escalante-a Bolivian born math teacher who taught with a platform of inspiration. He turned a failing calculus program at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles to one of the top in the nation. According to actor Edward James Olmos, “he really made us understand that it didn’t matter what color, race, creed or ethnicity any of us are.” Many of the students he taught excelled in math and went on to have successful careers; they attribute their successes to Mr. Escalante’s teachings and legacy. He passed away from cancer at age 79 with his family at his side.
