Description
You Were Never in ChicagoIn 1952 the New Yorker published a three part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the "Second City." From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling's withering gaze. Among the outraged responses from Chicago residents was one that Liebling described as the apotheosis of such criticism: a postcard that read, simply, "You were never in Chicago." Neil Steinberg has lived in and around Chicago for more than three decades
In 1952 the New Yorker published a three-part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the "Second City." From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling's withering gaze. Among the outraged responses from Chicago residents was one that Liebling described as the apotheosis of such criticism: a postcard that read, simply, "You were never in Chicago."
Neil Steinberg has lived in and around Chicago for more than three decades--ever since he left his hometown of Berea, Ohio, to attend Northwestern--yet he remains fascinated by the dynamics captured in Liebling's anecdote. In You Were Never in Chicago Steinberg weaves the story of his own coming-of-age as a young outsider who made his way into the inner circles and upper levels of Chicago journalism with a nuanced portrait of the city that would surprise even lifelong residents. Steinberg takes readers through Chicago's vanishing industrial past and explores the city from the quaint skybridge between the towers of the Wrigley Building, to the depths of the vast Deep Tunnel system below the streets. He deftly explains the city's complex web of political favoritism and carefully profiles the characters he meets along the way, from greats of jazz and journalism to small-business owners just getting by. Throughout, Steinberg never loses the curiosity and close observation of an outsider, while thoughtfully considering how this perspective has shaped the city, and what it really means to belong. Intimate and layered, You Were Never in Chicago will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all Chicagoans, be they born in the city or forever transplanted.Binding Type: Paperback

Gorgeous, thick and soft.
Size: 2'10" x 3'10" (Rectangular), Color: Grey Tip, Size: 2'10" x 3'10" (Rectangular), Color: Grey Tip
Absolutely gorgeous! Quality is excellent. I purchased three prior to this from different companies, and returned them. Finally came across this company and truly love the texture and look. This pelt is real sheepskin, NOT felt backing like some. The real deal.

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.

Soft as real rabbit fur
Color: Solid Cream, Size: 50"x60"
This throw blanket is absolutely gorgeous! It’s as soft as real rabbit fur and looks far more expensive than it is. PB has this blanket at a much higher price point but this looks and feel exactly the same for so much less money. It’s pricier than some of the others on Amazon but this one is worth every penny! I ordered the solid cream color in the 50x69 size and it’s plenty big enough to cover me completely with extra blanket to spare! It’s warm but not overly heavy. You can sleep with it or use it to snuggle up on the couch with on those cold winter nights! If you are looking at cheaper ones, don’t bother. This throw is worth the money and much better quality. The edges are trimmed so the lining doesn’t slide . This purchase is a win win!

Beautiful, Warm Faux Fur Blanket
Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80", Color: Marble Beige & Grey Chocolate, Size: 60"x80"
This faux rabbit fur blanket is beautiful, and it goes with everything. It's very soft and just heavy enough to be warm and comfortable, without being heavy. It appears to be durable and colorfast after the first wash, without any noticeable shedding. I bought the "Marble Beige and Grey Chocolate" one, and I'm very happy with it. The marble swirl of natural-looking brown colors reminds me of Swensen's chocolate eclair ice cream!
