One of Chicago’s most highly anticipated matches of the season will take place on Saturday night when the Fire host Inter Miami CF at Soldier Field on Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. CT. After a draw last Saturday against NYCFC, the Fire are two points out of a playoff position as they host Miami, who sit at the top of the Supporters' Shield standings.
**** Highly Recommended "BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical" is just awesome! I was more than a bit skeptical going in – how would they, could they, possibly turn a classic adventure movie into a musical? Well, they did, and "BACK TO THE FUTURE" blew me away! The special effects are, as my friend Al Bresloff says, mindboggling! Hurry, hurry, hurry and get your tickets! 4 Spotlights
