Editor’s note: Thanks to Brent Hoffmann for suggesting this post.
Looking for a few new facts, anecdotes or story ideas to perk up your tour or shift? Consider docent Jim Bartholomew’s blog, Connecting the Windy City, as a potential source. Jim writes on a wide variety of topics, historical and current, that tell the story of Chicago’s growth and change. As Brent wrote about Jim in his August 2011 profile, “Jim bicycles to dockside and CAF from his condo in the Lakeview neighborhood. You also might see him afoot as he takes notes and makes photos of buildings, bridges, statues, gardens and just about anything else of enough interest to add to the blog he’s been posting since 2008.”
