Biography
At this point it's clear that I will never decide what I want to be when I grow up. But I won a Lisagor award this year for a four-part series about a homeless man, and I hope to do a great deal more writing for a variety of publications. After finishing college long ago at the University of Chicago, I followed my father's path and went to work as a full-time journalist. I began at the Hyde Park Herald, moved to the Daily Southtown and then into media-relations jobs for the City of Chicago and State of Illinois. Didn't like the government work, though I learned a lot from it. After about 15 years in communications, I took a long hiatus to pursue music, mostly classical. I sang in professional ensembles, took jobs as a concert soloist, and began to teach musical skills and vocal technique one-on-one – at first only to singers, but then expanding to actors, teachers and public speakers. I expect to teach until I die. A few years ago I decided I couldn't Not do journalism anymore, and circled back as a freelancer to my first F/T employer, the Herald.

What fruit it bears will depend in part on the relationship it builds with the communities it aspires to serve, among them Woodlawn, Washington Park, Grand Crossing and South Shore. The Center for Better Aging (CBA) is now two months into operations in a spiffed-up St. Bernard Outpatient Center at 6307 S.
By Andrea Holliday| Hyde Park Herald Verified A cloth sloth was found abandoned early this month near trash bins at one of Hyde Park’s many informal recycling posts. The two-toed creature was rescued by U. of C. student Laura Mahaniah and given the name of Sloane. He was later seen touring the Point in the rear basket of Mahaniah’s bicycle, wearing a triumphant expression.
By Andrea Holliday| Newcity Art@ For a long time, it seemed like he could last forever. His wiry body was as strong as the metals that he spent his life welding, casting, cutting, shaping, bending to his will. His friends felt that strength every time he hugged them; that sturdy embrace was his standard greeting. He radiated warmth. Richard Howard Hunt, who passed away in December at eighty-eight, was the greatest sculptor ever born in Chicago.
