Features writing is a journalism staple where I'm from. Maybe you're a regular at Marvin's and already know the neighborhood folk that call it home. I certainly wasn't privy and wouldn't mind stopping in now that I've been introduced. If you're one to demand a news peg to every story rather than to treat one as a color piece on an under-reported area of Chicago, you might find it in the "ending of a chapter" reference on the aging migrant population. It's a follow up to an important moment in urban America, one thats fading. Myself, I'm getting a little overwhelmed by the litany of articles based on the latest studies that you're looking for here. That’s a pretty shortsighted review “Interested in Knowing”.

With all the stories/issues that AREN'T being covered on the south and especially the west side of Chicago, the best this new venture could come up with is a review of a restaurant?!?!?! Wow, it would have had some substance if it highlighted poor dietary habits in these communities or linked it to a new study on African-Americans. The old boys club/vanguard is being continued by such writing....Pat yourselves on the back. How does an aging soul food restaurant provide news? this was a blog entry-at best.
