Chicago Culture Ball
On Saturday, Eventnoire hosts their third annual Chicago Culture Ball. With over 600 attendees, the Culture Ball honors Chicago's changemakers that have shaped the essence of what it means to be a part of the cultural experience in the city.
Past notable honorees are Val Warner, Jeremih and the organization, "ChiGivesBack." This year's honorees include leaders at McDonalds, the Obama Foundation and SocialWorks. CEO of Eventnoire Jeff Osuji and Executive Director of SocialWorks Justin Cunningham filled Warner and Leon in on what to expect this year.
Neighborhood Walk - Richard Roeper
These days, the south suburb of Dolton is in the news more for events at City Hall than in the community, most notably the travails of current Mayor Tiffany Henyard, who is under FBI scrutiny for her handling of the village's finances.
But, the reality is that Dolton has long been a haven for working-class families looking for affordable, attractive housing.
In the latest edition of "Our Chicago: Neighborhood Walk," Val Warner took a tour of Dolton with one of its most notable former residents: movie critic Richard Roeper.
