A Summer Interlude in the Middle of Fall
With most of the leaves now on the ground and the temperature steadily dropping throughout New England, a swift glance back into the warmer, more welcoming months of summer is in order. So we turn to two things that will eternally be associated with the storied New England summer -jazz and Newport. Both are wrapped up in one of our favorite documentaries ever - the 1958 flick Jazz On A Summer's Day.

Though its roots aren’t chronologically deep, it hit its stride during the golden age of classic style. We took a recent weekend trip there intent on seeing how Chicago is realizing its proud past in a modern world. After a few dips in Lake Michigan, a daring step out onto the 1,353 above ground glass Ledge at the Willis Tower, and more than a few local brews at a great blues club, we discovered Haberdash, a perfect retail encapsulation...
