I just finished perusing the March issue of Chicago Magazine, whose cover story this month is "The Next Big Thing." These big things include a 16-year-old rapper, an avant-garde artist, an arts booster, a vintage menswear dealer, a rising Second City star, a pastry prodigy, and a new pro wrestling villain. I'm afraid I will not be following any of these rising Chicago stars, either online or in person, but that's just me. I am not influenced by influencers. I much preferred the article on how Chicago thin-crust pizza came to be (taverns served it to help sell more beers and cut the pizza into little squares that fit on napkins, since they did not have silverware and plates). I also enjoyed the article titled "The Cubs Fan's Guide to Toyko," which included a tip on where you can find craft beer and "shikago" style pizza (a chain called DevilCraft's). And that Cubs-Dodgers series in Toyko, which opens the 2025 baseball season, starts today! Scary to think of all those North Side Cubs fans running around loose in Japan. A shame it couldn't have been the much more sophisticated and urbane South Side White Sox fans (those are my people). Remember Disco Demolition Night? Now those guys knew how to behave.
