Welcome to the Southwest Observer's new feature - iWitnessed. Every week or so we'll post a close-up photo of local importance ranging from schools to churches to businesses to historical landmarks.

In return, we'll be asking our registered users to try to figure our just what the heck it is that they're looking at. At the end of each contest we will reveal the full photo along with a couple tidbits (just to let ya know that we're up on our neighborhood history as well as the next guy).

A hint will accompany each photo ... but don't think too hard about it. After all, the answer might be in your own backyard.

OK, so we have heard of the Green Mill. And yes, we enjoy it very much. With its world-class jazz and intimate setting, it deserves a top spot as one of Chicago's best bars. In its annual issue listing the best bars in America, Esquire ranks the Green Mill as the top-shelf joint in the nation (let alone Chicago).

But we know that our neighborhoods have some darn good watering holes as well (and your editor has spent many an evening enjoying a tipple or two at any number of pubs along 111th Street and Western Avenue.

So we put the vote to you, diligent patrons of our fair neighborhood pubs: What's your favorite? Forgive the short list. Because of space constraints we were forced to pick just a handful of the nearly three dozen places that serve our neighborhoods. If you feel overlooked and want to air your grievances, send an e-mail to editor@southwestobserver.com. We will do our best to address your concerns.


Green Mill? Never heard of it.

Neighbor News

We all know someone who’s worth the recognition, that neighbor or friend or family member who has an interesting story to tell … but one that not enough people know about. There’s enough bad news today that a little good news about our own neighbors could be just the right thing to keep us focused on what really matters: our community. So why not spread the word? Let us know in 200 words or less why you think someone deserves a little extra recognition. You’ll automatically receive 10 points (50 if we feature that person).
