Getting an eyeful of vintage images of the Stones, Hendrix, and other rock legends at Hilton-Asmus Foto's exhibit "Visions of a Magic Time." 2. Digging into a bowl of Frogmore Stew at Cindy's, the new Chicago Athletic Association hotel rooftop hot spot. 3. Taking in the eclectic range of musical acts at the 10th annual Latino Music Festival. WHAT MAKES AUTUMN IN CHICAGO SUCH A KICK? Let us count the ways: It's the return of Bears football, made all the more exciting this year by the much-anticipated debut of new coach John Fox. It's a fresh season of theater, dance, art, and music from Chicago's premier institutions, from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Joffrey Ballet (celebrating their 125th and 60th seasons, respectively) to the countless storefront theaters whose boldly imagina- tive productions make this city's stage scene the nation's most thrilling. It's also trendy fashions, colorful fall foliage, buzzing new restaurants—after the relaxed vibe of summer, autumn feels like a jolt of energy, signaling that life in the Windy City is back to its typical pulsating, thrill-a-minute self. It seems that everyone in Chicago has their own unique idea of the perfect autumn, which is why this issue's "Fall, Glorious Fall" feature turned out to be such a delight to put together—and, I think you'll agree, to read. We asked four notable Chicagoans to share with us just why the season is special to them and received a cornucopia of answers as colorful as the season in response, from artist Nick Cave rhapsodizing about his morning runs by the lake and the Randolph Street Market Festival to new Steppenwolf Theatre Artistic Director Anna Shapiro musing on the joys of the Chicago Botanic Garden. In doing so, they not only give us a glimpse into their lives as Windy City residents, but provide the rest of us with plenty of additional inspiration on how to make the most of the autumn adventures that lie ahead. It's been a great summer, but now it's time to raise the curtain on fall—and I personally plan on enjoying every touchdown-filled, leaf-crunching, applause-inspiring minute of it. 1 2 3 J.P.
