issue ten out now, in this issue:

1. pimp your ride (if you have one)
The city of Chicago is one of the few in the nation for which a car isn’t a prerequisite. But if you’ve got one, why not take a cue from MTV and pimp that ride? Andy Rathbun makes sure you can find those spinning rims for that car you may or may not have.

2. your address as burlesque club
“Chicago politics” is a phrase that carries a lot of weight. Unfortunately, it may also hold the implication that your city’s ZIP code is named after a burlesque club. Andy Sewell investigates your pornographic address.

3. a case study in nightmares
When was the last time you had a nightmare? That dream about when showing up to work naked doesn’t count. Photographer Christine Mladic and illustrator Sarah Ferone show you what really happens in the dark recesses of your sleeping mind.

4. no monkey, no monkey, stop!
At the discount price tag of $26 million, the Lincoln Park Zoo goes neo-Pavlovian on some chimpanzees. As Lauren Wetherbee discovers, the primates are not amused, and neither are the chimps.
