If you stick only to the Magnificent Mile during a visit to the Windy City, you're missing out on a lot. Just steps away from Michigan Avenue is State Street, and on this guided two-hour walking tour from Joyce Walks Chicago you'll find out why Frank Sinatra was such a fan of this great slice of the city. Your guide will reveal where brownies came from, show you a hotel that tiled its barber shop with the most unusual material, share who invented the milk shake, and point out the location of Al Capone's dentist's office. See Chicago's oldest business, as well as many of the places that make the strip an important center of commerce for the city, from the newest Walgreens flagship store to Macy's (Marshall Field's.) Learn about the Chicago Fire, the elevated trains, the "busiest intersection on Earth", the Joffrey Ballet and much more. See the historic Palmer House, Chicago Theatre and Harold Washington Library, get your kicks on Route 66, and more -- all on one tour.

From chart-topping radio hits ("You're Sixteen") to award-winning Disney movie songs ("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious") and beloved theme park classics ("It's a Small World"), Richard M. Sherman is one of the most prolific and acclaimed family-friendly song composers of all time. The Sherman Brothers songwriting duo, comprised of Richard M. Sherman and his late brother, Richard B. Sherman, was a veritable two-man Disney hit factory, crafting memorable melodies for numerous films including Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and many more. Over the course of their nearly half-century songwriting career, the brothers were honored with two Academy Awards (for the music of Mary Poppins), three Grammy Awards and 24 gold and platinum albums. This conversation at Goodman Theatre, moderated by Chicago Tribune critic Chris Jones, takes a look back at Sherman's astonishing career and achievements. Along with the illuminating discussion, you'll also be treated to a light breakfast buffet reception plus an exclusive sampling of some of Sherman's unforgettable songs. Learn More
