With riveting rhythms, bold beats and ear-grabbing energy, the stage show is a synchronized musical showcase of the HBCU experience.

Vendors Russell Adams, John Hagan, Clinton Scott, and A. Allen chat about the world of sports.

super bowl contenders

John: The Chicago Bears are one of the few teams left in the NFL playoffs. If somehow, some way, they do not make it to the Super Bowl, which teams would you like to see? Clinton: I think the Bears have a good chance of making the Super Bowl. We beat Green Bay twice. We beat them in the playoffs. John: Why would you say that if you have teams like Seattle, or the Rams, with a high-power offense?

Allen: On any day! John: What about the 49ers? Clinton: The 49ers caught them with their pants down. They gave up a lot of points. The Bears defense – the front four – need to tighten up, put

John: That’s a good point, even a secondary? Clinton: The secondary is cool, but you can’t give up all that time. The quarterback and the safeties can only hold the receiver so long. John: My rebuttal question is, if the Bears don’t make the Super Bowl, which NFC and AFC matchups do you like? Clinton: I like Seattle in the NFC. AFC is up for grabs. I like New England and the Broncos. You gotta look out for the Texans. Their defense is tough. They won 10 games in a row. Started out 0-3, but now they are on a roll. In the AFC I like Texas.

Russell: If the Bears don’t make it, I’d like to see the Texans. In the NFC, it looks like Seattle will take it all, but the Bears can beat them. If we get past the Rams, we got it. Allen: I think the Chicago Bears will make the Super Bowl, but if the LA Rams beat ’em, I will go with the LA Rams -- whoever beat Chicago -- to win because Chicago will be tough to contend with. In the AFC, I will go with the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen. John: If the Chicago Bears don’t make the Super Bowl, I will go with the Rams in the NFC and the Texans in the AFC. They played each other in the first week of the season, which the Rams won 14-9. The reason I am less impressed with Denver is, they beat four teams by a total of 7 points: Jets 13-11; Giants 32-31; Las Vegas Raiders 10-7

and Washington Commanders 27-26. The Broncos’ record is misleading. If the Broncos make it from the AFC, Seattle could stop them. But Houston is the team no one should want to play. Clinton: So far, this has been a good playoff. Everything’s going down to the last seconds, so whoever makes the field goals should come out the victor. Russell: NFC’s Philadelphia – last year’s Super Bowl team -- goodbye. It’s time for a change. I got the Bears and Houston. Allen: I take the Bears and Buffalo. John: My personal favorite will be the Rams/Houston. But whoever we get this year will be fresh new blood. It’s no longer Kansas City and Philadelphia or Baltimore.

Clinton: The Bears can beat the Rams, any team that’s playing.

a little bit more pressure on the quarterback to take pressure off our quarterback and the linebackers. If their front four step up, nobody can beat the Bears.

EXPLORING T by Suzanne Hanney

COVER STORY

The Chicago Pedway is an underground walkway that connects more than 40 blocks and 50 buildings downtown – a way to stay warm in winter and cool in summer while avoiding heavy foot traffic. Ramps and elevators also make the Pedway largely disability-accessible. Begun in 1951 with a one-block tunnel to connect the CTA Red Line at State Street with the Blue Line at Dearborn, this segment running from the City Hall/County Building on LaSalle Street to Millennium Park at Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street is still the best-known. Start at 120 N. LASALLE ST., the 40-story office tower with the Roger Brown mosaic of the mythological Greek father-and-son Daedalus and Icarus flying with outstretched wings. Brown considered the image a metaphor for the co-existence of classical and modern architecture around it. Follow the Pedway compass sign downstairs and across LaSalle to the CITY HALL/COUNTY BUILDING (121

N. LaSalle St./118 N. Clark St.). Pay your local property taxes, obtain a family member’s birth or death certificate to do some genealogy—or get your own marriage license! Just before you leave the County Building to cross Clark Street, let STEVE JOHNSON shine your shoes, as he has done for local lawyers, businesspeople and politicians for 20 years. “You can still pay some rent and take care of yourself shining shoes and have some great conversations” in the process, says Johnson, who teaches West Side kids the business. Take a seat and in less than 10 minutes, he’ll fix you up. Or leave shoes – even sneakers – for pickup later. An escalator takes you under Clark Street to the RICHARD J. DALEY CENTER, 50 W. Washington St., the offices for Cook County Circuit Courts and State’s Attorney. The building and the 50-foot sculpture in front of it are both made of rust-weathered, corrosion-resistant, COR-TEN™

THE PEDWAY From left: A mosaic at 120 N. LaSalle marks an entry point to the Pedway. The elevator on the right brought you to the first floor of the City Hall/ County Building.

Macy's on State Street is also accessable, with American Victorian Stained Glass adorning the Pedway walls. (All photos by Suzanne Hanney).

steel. Famed artist Pablo Picasso gave the sculpture to the people of Chicago in 1967 without explaining what it represented. The plaza is used for a farmer’s market in summer and the Christkindlmarket at the holidays. Passing the CTA Blue Line at Dearborn Street, you come to BLOCK 37 (108 N. State St.). Take in a movie at the AMC Dine-In theater; get strong at First Ascent climbing, yoga and fitness; cut loose at Five Iron Golf; get your timepiece fixed at Altyn Jewelry & Watch or shop for folkloric crafts. There are plenty of food options too, from Magnolia Bakery to Which Wich and Gayle V’s Best Ever Grilled Cheese to Healthy Juice, Tea Monster Jian Bing House – even a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine as you exit at State Street. Walking coatless through the Pedway on a 41-degree day, the Red Line vestibule is the only place that felt cold. Ahead is the basement entrance to MACY’S (111 N. State

St.), in a building designed by Daniel H. Burnham for Marshall Field & Co. and built between 1902-06, with sections added in 1907 and 1914. At one time Field’s was largest store in the world, according to the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC). Macy’s atrium just off State Street has a 6,000-square foot ceiling inlaid with 1.6 million pieces of iridescent glass, supervised by Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. Looping north and east around Macy’s, the Pedway continues underneath Randolph Street with an exhibit of AMERICAN VICTORIAN STAINED GLASS in cooperation with Macy’s, the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows, the Chicago Cultural Mile Association and donors. Unlike most European painted stained glass, Tiffany and others used opalescent glass to let light itself paint the desired image.

Story continues on page 10, after the map

An elevator in the Pedway takes you right to the first-floor Randolph Street lobby of the CHICAGO CULTURAL CENTER (78 E. Washington St.), for free artists’ exhibitions; music, dance and theater events, films and lectures. Inspired by the monumental structures of ancient Greece and Rome, it was built in the late 19th century as a Civil War memorial and the city’s first library. White Carrara marble in its Washington Street lobby came from the same quarries used by Michaelangelo and it has the world’s largest Tiffany glass dome.

Park your car here to meet friends taking either of two train lines terminating at Millennium Station on Michigan Avenue. The South Shore Line (officially the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District) station is at Randolph; the Metra Electric goes to South Water Street.

MILLENNIUM GARAGE

Take a selfie in front of the “Bean,” officially known as Anish Kapoor’s “Cloud Gate.” Mimic Chicagoans filmed in Jaume Plensa’s Crown Fountain. Listen to a concert in Frank Gehry’s Pritzker Pavilion, whose acoustic trellis evenly distributes sound without sight obstructions. Find respite in the Lurie Garden.

Crossing Michigan Avenue and turning right, you’ll find the largest downtown public parking system in North America. The Millennium Garages have 9,176 spaces over 3.8 million square feet between Randolph Street and Van Buren Street, Michigan Avenue and DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

MILLENNIUM PARK Pop out of the Pedway for a breath of fresh air on what had been railroad tracks and surface parking lots until 1996.

MILLENNIUM STATION Back inside Millennium Station, going east past the South Shore platforms will take you to the ground floor entrance of HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE (205 E. Randolph St.). However, by walking north on the Metra Electric platform to the South Water Street entrance, you will reach the ILLINOIS CENTER, with myriad shops, fast-food restaurants, and FedEx store for office needs. Metra broke ground Oct. 9, 2025 for renovation of the South Water Street station by 2027. The project includes ADA improvements; new entrances with enhanced visibility; public restrooms and staff office areas; replacement of staircases, canopies, and elevators; new lighting, benches, signs and station amenities; digital displays with train tracking info.

Walking north and then east through Illinois Center will bring you to the two towers of the HYATT REGENCY CHICAGO (151 E. Wacker and 201 E. Wacker Drive). With 2,019 rooms, it’s the largest hotel in Chicago. Or, find yourself at the AQUA BUILDING (225 N. Columbus Drive), which combines a hotel (the Radisson Blu on floors 1-18), with residential units (floors 18-81). Designed by Studio Gang, its curving white balconies and colored glass create the impression of water cascading down the building’s sides, according to the CAC. “You can eat, drink, stay in a hotel, have a massage, get married, get divorced, work out in a gym and even swim in a pool without ever having to go outside,” says Lorie Westerman, director for CAC’s Pedway tours. “You can go through the Pedway to the Blue Line CTA station and go all the way to London without going outside.” - Sara Riddick contributing

urban male network celebrates open helping youth succeed academically, p by Stella Kapetan

In September, the Urban Male Network celebrated the opening of its Empowerment Center. Located in a formerly empty building at 6500 S. Carpenter in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, the center is a "safe space for youth," said Marlon Haywood, age 38, Urban Male Network's founder and executive director, who was raised in tthe neighborhood. “We took an abandoned, vacant eyesore, and now it’s a resource for the community.” Urban Male Network has been serving male teens and young men of color from the city’s West Side to the south suburbs since 2012 through professional and personal development, social interaction and one-on-one mentorships. “They grew up in female households and say, 'I need someone to talk to as a man,’” said Haywood. Mentors and mentees met in schools, community centers, a house and a church before the center opened. The center also allows for more workshops and after school and weekend programs for the 500 youth Urban Male Network currently works with.

FROM THE STREETS

The youth and their mentors meet as often as needed in the mental health room where they can relax and talk about whatever the mentee needs to help “navigate life,” Haywood said. This may be about exploring a career of interest, or guidance on applying to college or trade school, structuring admission essays and obtaining financial aid for those with a chosen career. “Some say, ‘I don’t want to go to college,’” Haywood said. “The mentor gives them a college tour and connects them with college students as a type of mentorship. Now they say ‘I want to go to college.’” Mentors also guide the teen on how to properly dress, shake hands, process emotions and resolve conflict. “The mentor says, ‘You shouldn’t have handled it this way. This may have been a better way.’” Haywood said. An example is helping the teen realize that his mother is trying to help when she pushes him to do well in school. When he reaches 18, conversations revolve around marriage, establishing credit, home ownership and starting a family. Youth who might not have positive outlets for fun and interactions enjoy the company of mentors with outings to

ning of empowerment center professionally, socially

Six Flags Great America and SkyZone, basketball tournaments and a multi-day Michigan retreat for sessions on mental health, brotherhood, conflict resolution and to simply have a good time. Haywood highlights the successes of the mentorship relationships. He recalled Anthony, a young man he mentored starting in sophomore year of high school. Anthony enrolled in Northern Illinois University after touring the campus with Haywood. He graduated last year with a Business Administration degree with Haywood in attendance and works in the financial industry. “He said that this wouldn’t have been possible if he never got connected with me and the program,” Haywood said. Tayveun Williams started at Urban Male Network as a mentee, interned there while in college, and now is employed full time at the center, facilitating group mentoring relationships. Every year, 600 hours of mentorship are provided to more than 250 youth. Urban Male Network helps teens find jobs at New Life Covenant Church, Comer Youth Center and other sites through city-sponsored programs. The city pays Urban Male Network, which in turn, pays the teens. Last summer more than 100 worked as camp coordinators, youth advisors and coordinators for social events. Urban Male Network's theme of achievement is reflected in the framed photos of men in suits on the walls of the center. On the tables, there are photos of men whose attitudes and manner of dress exude success. The muted shade of white walls throughout the center and the deep blue sofa in the large room where youth can socialize with peers were carefully chosen to create a relaxed atmosphere. www.streetwise.org

BOTTOM LEFT: A recording room where youth produce their own podcasts. BOTTOM RIGHT: Framed drawings of men in suits that adorn the wall reflect the Center's theme of facilitating success. (All photos by Stella Kapetan.)

This opportunity for youth to socialize and to have fun is important. “We wanted to create safe spaces for them to build relationships with peers and mentees and mentors,” Haywood said. After school they can play basketball on the outdoor, lit court, gather for conversation around the outdoor fire pit, spend time in the game room, participate in fitness programs and take cooking classes to learn to prepare nutritious meals or explore a career in the food industry. They learn from a producer how to record their own podcasts in the recording room. Those who enjoy making music learn to create instrumental backgrounds for songs at an offsite location. The youth and their families also host birthday parties and other milestone events at the center; a father-to-be recently held his baby shower there. There is no charge to use the space. “It’s not my building, it’s our building,” Haywood said, adding that his goal is to open it up to the broader community.

Youth learn about Urban Male Network through mentors and staff who host weekly sessions at schools on mental health, brotherhood, career opportunities and identifying and managing their emotions. Haywood holds a Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) – Educational Leadership and Organizational Change from Roosevelt University and lives with his wife Jasmyne on Chicago’s South Side. His passion to help youth succeed is rooted in his upbringing in Englewood. “I did not have positive role models,” he said. “I wanted to create what I did not see as I grew up. To invest in the community I grew up in means a lot to me.” To learn more about Urban Male Network and contact Haywood, visit urbanmalenetwork.org
