For me its all about layers.
I bike about 3 miles one way - 5 days a week.
When its super super cold out (last winter it got down to -20 or so) I would wear these boots, my regular work khakis with rain pants over top (to block the snow). For upper, I wear an undershirt, a button up, and a hoodie layered with a rain jacket or this jacket in a neon orange (no longer manufactured). For gloves I usually double layer, a light knit glove and then some sort of heavy ski glove or lobster glove.
For face I'll usually go with a light balaclava with a knit hat and my beardski
I have a pretty high tolerance for cold - so that usually keeps me warm until I get to my office - and I usually build up a decent sweat while biking.
Things I'd pay attention to - SMARTWOOL!!! Breathes and cleans great while keeping you warm.
LAYERS!!! - You can strip them off, add them on.
Splurge on gloves and socks and head/ face coverings. The rest you can make up with layering.
They won't teach the most, but for photography and history, check out these two books on the brilliant photographer Richard Nickel:
These are my most treasured sitting on the shelf, and convinced me more than anything else did to move here.
His life story is really compelling. His wikipedia article is well worth a read.
Edit: This photo is from They All Fall Down, showing him protesting the looming demolition of the Adler & Sullivan-designed Garrick Theater. Bummed WBEZ didn't include one of these two books on the list.
This is Reddit, yo. A well-written, systematic analysis and review of the numerous different aspects of this is much better presented in that book than it ever will be on the internet. For what it's worth, it's a great book that elucidates a lot of the things talked about here.
This is also a great read, highly recommended.
I photograph the city a lot (check my posts here on Reddit for some examples I've posted) and could go on and on about locations but it really depends on what you're into. I highly recommend my friend's e-book, "The Photographer's Guide to Chicago". It has a ton of great info on interesting locations and details about hours, restrictions, where to park, etc.
I know it won't help you immediately, but if you're willing to "throw $20 at somebody" for a jump, just buy one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Jump-N-Carry-JNC300XL-Ultraportable-Starter-Light/dp/B000XQ9MGE
$65 and it's insanely useful. I just had to use mine last week for the first time and it was super fast and easy, and it still had its charge from last winter.
I'd probably go with http://www.amazon.com/Mohu-Leaf-Paper-Thin-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B004QK7HI8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1411839430&sr=1-1&keywords=mofu+leaf. It works very well. Has better reviews than the RCN antenna and you can get a thin version with up to a 50 mile radius.
Antennas will work inherently better placed in a window and something like the Leaf is perfect for window placement.
Has anyone curated the history of this station, how its programming has changed over the years, how it balanced "popular" music and/or pushed daring or local sounds onto the air, or even just an account of its changes in management/on-air personalities, etc?
Folks involved in the early days of Q101 really did this in detail (both in book form and in lots of other interviews) and I'd love if there was some kind of "history of B96" to read or watch or whatever. I listened so much as a kid (1988-1993 or so) and I'd love to revisit what that station really was/was trying to be instead of just my fuzzy memories.
I love Graveyards of Chicago! It is great for day trips and random outings to city cemeteries and city history.
I mentioned this somewhere else in this thread, but I really enjoyed American Apartheid, which goes into detail about this. We read it for my urban studies class... Heres the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/American-Apartheid-Segregation-Making-Underclass/dp/0674018214?ie=UTF8&keywords=American%20Apartheid&qid=1462765389&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
And also the same man who wrote a book praising Trump: https://www.amazon.com/Donald-J-Trump-President-Other/dp/1621577872/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=conrad+black&qid=1558096243&s=gateway&sr=8-1
Honestly, knowing Trump's narcissism, I wouldn't be surprised if the book was a bigger reason he did this than the property sale.
They All Fall Down by Rich Cahan, about Richard Nickel's struggle to save classic Chicago buildings, particularly those by Louis Sullivan. The beginnings of the architectural preservation movement in Chicago. https://www.amazon.com/They-All-Fall-Down-Architecture/dp/0471144266

Did they just kick in the door?
My apartment is on the 2nd floor and has a front and back door. I've got the back door locked down tight with a bar like this. I want to secure the front door more. I've heard that long, thick screws will prevent the door from being kicked in.
Also be a friend and get a bird decal sticker to prevent this... https://www.amazon.com/Window-Alert-Medley-Decal-5-Pack/dp/B0096UUSPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494866521&sr=8-1&keywords=invisible+bird+decal+sticker
Still my favorite

If you want to know more about Q101, read James Van Osdol's book We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm.
Actually sounds like you have hard water. I just went through this in our new apartment -- my hair was super gross every time I washed it. Decided to buy this filtering showerhead Culligan WSH-C125 Wall-Mount 10,000 Gallon Capacity Filtered Showerhead, Chrome Finish https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006VVN1S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4ToIxbT2R6HDR and my life is changed.
Like this?

Donald J Trump - A President Like No Other - By Conrad Black
Yeah if cyclists were legally allowed to simply smash a window on any car parked in a bike lane I imagine the practice would end rather quickly.
I have the Mohu Leaf and it picks it up great. but it also depends on what floor he is on, distance from the tower, etc.
I had the [link] (http://www.amazon.com/AMERICAN-SKIN-Don-De-Grazia/dp/0684862220) ready to go.
I'd recommend one of these door security bars if you have a back door/seldom used door that next to hardwood. It makes it really, really hard to be sneaky when you're breaking in as it requires a ton of force to get through.
Here are the top 100 locations.

Can't help you now, but buy one of these and keep it in your trunk and you won't have to worry about needing someone else to jump you in the future.

This would do the trick
Wow that sucks. To help deter that from happening again at the gym get a disk lock they are more difficult to cut with bolt cutters. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004SQKX/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416160152&sr=8-1
I thoroughly enjoyed Sin in the Second City:
https://www.amazon.com/Sin-Second-City-Ministers-Playboys/dp/0812975995
I got this https://www.amazon.com/Delta-Cycle-Airzound-Hooter-Rechargeable/dp/B000ACAMJC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2IDGL70Q0N3KJ&keywords=loud+bike+horn&qid=1565366365&s=gateway&sprefix=loud+bike%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-3
It's kinda obnoxiously loud. But if you don't lay on it, it's not too bad.

Check out Erik Larson's Devil in the White City. It's an embellished account of the events surrounding the 1893 Columbian Exposition, including the introduction of the Ferris Wheel and the murders committed by H.H. Holmes.
I’m currently reading this City of Scoundrels: The 12 Days of Disaster That Gave Birth to Modern Chicago https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307454304/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i7EnDbKZ06TN4 , which starts with the story of the blimp crash.
The HH Holmes story as told in Devil in the White City is fascinating to me.
