Marc Byrnes remembers the day he opened his property tax bill this summer to find it had quadrupled from the previous installment. “I think a fair number of people would have damned near had a heart attack when they read what I received,” Byrnes said. The bill had gone from $1,162.32 due in March to $4,706.75 due in August. Byrnes had a sense his property tax bill would likely be increasing after chatting in June with a neighbor whose bill had gone up several thousand dollars.

During the Chicago Marathon weekend, tables turn over quickly at Sofi, an Italian restaurant in Printers Row, as carb-loading runners stuff themselves with pasta. The race boosts business by 300%, said owner Maurizio Michi, who expects 600-800 customers on Saturday, the eve of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. It’s the biggest event of the year in terms of customer volume for Sofi at 616 S. Dearborn St., not far from the starting line in Grant Park.

Making one’s way into the Chicago Loop Synagogue isn’t merely a matter of opening the front door. First, visitors must ring a doorbell and talk to a receptionist at an office desk. After making their way into the foyer, they buzz another doorbell for entrance. Then, they have to pass through a metal detector scan. “We have people from all over the world who come here. When they're downtown and they want a place to pray, they come to us,” synagogue President Lee Zoldan said.
