OTL Rewind— Mike Butler, Head of the Green Chicago River Crew

With this being St. Patrick’s Day we thought it’d be cool to dig into the OTL audio archives to hear a clip from OTL #25 that includes learning about the history of turning the Chicago River green.

Mike Fourcher— Founder/Publisher of CenterSquareJournal.com

This great local news site that serves the neighborhoods of Northcenter, Lincoln Square, and Ravenswood Manor turns 1 this week.  We hear what Mike has learned over the past year and where the site is headed in the future.
