If you're staying in, or going out and want to set a recording, WTTW's Chicago Tonight has a couple Uptown stories on Thursday's edition:Inspiration Cafe: One Chicagoan's desire to feed the homeless turned into a giant food and job training institution. It also landed her a commercial that was seen in front of an estimated 36 million people nationwide. We take you inside a Chicago restaurant that feeds paying and non-paying customers alike.
Ask Geoffrey: Did the St. Mary of the Lake Church in Uptown at one time sit on the lakefront? We find out when Chicago architecture expert Geoffrey Baer answers this question and more in tonight's edition of Ask Geoffrey.
BTW, the story that I heard about the "lake" is that once upon a time the park in back of the church campus actually did have a "lake." Well, a duck pond anyway, and the church founders incorporated it into their name.
