About Scott Jacobs A former urban affairs reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times, Jacobs brings 40 years of experience to bear covering his own neighborhood. He spends a season with the players in the Holstein Park adult basketball league, rides the bus with a seniors club to the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, visits Bucktown's barbershops and show more Laundromats and delves into the mystery of how Chicago collects its garbage, plows its streets and chooses its St. Patrick's Day Queen. Whether he is taking a tour of the water aisle of the local supermarket, talking with a neighbor fixated on the latest rat traps, or observing penitent parishioners worship a water stain under the expressway, Jacobs sees city living as an adventure. Through political upheaval, gentrification and social redemption, he finds the common thread that holds the fabric of a city together is the resilience of the people who live there. show less
