    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With only 35,000 seats, the new Ryan Field is far and away the smallest stadium in the Big Ten. If Michigan has the “Big House,” Northwestern has the “Small House.” But it’s a really cool house, with excellent sight lines, a “Great Chicago Food Festival,” a pre-game extravaganza from the producer of Super Bowl halftimes, an $875 million price tag, and, oh yeah, a pretty good football team (NU) taking on another pretty good team (Penn State). Those involved with running the stadium are strongly s

The Evanston native had gone through some personal crises, including the death of his son, had “pushed everybody away,” and “was angry at the world.” But Pettigrew wanted to work, and when he saw the flyer about construction job opportunities, he jumped at the chance … a chance to “start all over … in the community which raised you.” Pettigrew was accepted into the workforce development program at the Trade Collective, an Evanston-based non-prof

That’s what some parents did at Monday night’s District 65 school board meeting, which was likely a preview of the Oct. 13 meeting when $20 million in specific budget cuts will be outlined by Interim Superintendent Eric Witherspoon.
