 The Chicago El | News | The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
Despite the fact that Chicago's El is big, loud, dirty, and dark, people in Chicago clamor to live near it, and streets that are served by El stops--even those dark and gloomy streets under the El--are vibrant and alive.
The El is an economic engine that brings life to the neighborhoods it serves, and it serves a social purpose as well, linking the city's far-flung neighborhoods.
Chicago has rapid transit--which is why someone who complained to Chicago's mayor about how long it takes to drive downtown would NOT be told that the best minds at city hall were hard at work on the problem.

Chicago drivers almost universally speed up at the sight of a yellow light; you'll most likely hear some honking if you don't make that mad dash before the light turns red.

 LA BUTACA - Chicago
"Chicago" es un espectáculo deslumbrante que raya a gran altura y que rebosa calidad por los cuatro costados: digna merecedora de que su nombre se vea rubricado con luces de neón, como ya aparece en el cartel promocional de la película.
De ahí que tampoco cueste com-prender el porqué de sus trece nominaciones a los Oscars y los tres Globos de Oro ya cosechados —entre ellos como Mejor Película—, además de un sinfín ca-si interminable de menciones y premios.
La ambición por lograr la fama a cualquier precio, el poder de los medios de comunicación para difundir (y alimentar) a las nuevas y fugaces estrellas mediáticas, los entresijos lega-les, la corrupción, o los crímenes pasionales son algunas de las ideas que sa-len a colación.

 El Guapo - Chicago Gigs.com Music Reviews
The bilingual rock quartet El Guapo, which just released a pair of polished peppy melodic hit-copping alterna-rock EPs, may have hit upon a brilliant marketing strategy when they decided to begin splitting their time between English-speaking clubs and the growing local Hispanic rock market.
Chicago's own rock-en-espanol movement has been growing rapidly enough to steadily attract larger crowds and more media attention (including a Chicago Reader cover story just two weeks ago that declared El Guapo the leading contenders in the local movement).
El Guapo's flippant choruses ("Get the hell out of my pimped out Limousine," "I don't want and I don't need my penny loafer girl") inspire plenty of smiles if not full-out belly laughs.

In order to expand the audience for high quality, previously unpublished research on Latin America and the Caribbean conducted or first presented at the University of Chicago by its students and faculty or by visiting scholars, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is sponsoring this Working Papers Series as part of the Mexican Studies Program.
It satirized El Negrito (the Black Man), La Mulata (the Brown-skinned Woman), and El Gallego (the White Spanish Immigrant), who were then seen as the three social/ethnic groups of the newly forming Cuban nation.
Boruchoff considers the implications of these developments for democratization in Mexico, and she shows how the Mexican state is institutionalizing a new form of nation-state grounded in the national territory at the same time it encompasses crucial political and economic activities among a sizeable citizenry residing abroad.
