***SIGNED COPY*** Written by two of my grandmother's old friends from st. paul. a funny, easy story about two little old ladies (well, middle-aged when the book happened) who get bored with homemaking and PTA-ing and decide to ditch their husbands and kids for a few weeks and drive to mexico in search of local crafts and goods to bring back to minnesota and sell to their friends. they end up opening a store and running a business for many years, making numerous trips to mexico to keep their store stocked. i love the book for these reasons: -the ladies try their darndest to find authentic crafts and refuse to buy anything kitschy or touristy, which makes it so much more interesting -the ladies are super midwestern (sensible, stubborn, rough &amp; tumble when they need to be) which i, as a fellow midwesterner, personally think is just dandy -great story of two women temporarily escaping their homemaker destiny to do something wild and crazy (and succeeding on a remarkable level as well)

The rise and fall of the Chicago brewing industry is played out in this fascinating book, which takes readers back in time to the heady days of yore. Well researched, it tells a colorful and true tale that takes readers from the opening of the first Chicago brewery to the day the last locally owned brewery closed its door. From the roaring twenties, the days of Al Capone and Prohibition and the salad days to the invasion of the Milwaukee breweries, this book tells all. Highlights of The History of Beer and Brewing in Chicago include: *
Famous lager beer riots *
Al Capone and the Chicago mob *
Graft and municipal corruption *
Prohibition and speakeasies *
Chicago's great brewing families *
The Milwaukee take-over and more! 
Much more than a time line, this book is a heady, fun-to-read volume that offers a rich history of Chicago against the backdrop of its booming and ultimately doomed brewing industry. Filled with anecdotes and little-known facts, it's a treasure for history buffs, Chicago fans, beer connoisseurs and collectors of breweriana.
