A prior incarnation of CHICOTW featured Chicago, Chicago White Sox, & Chicago Public Schools between August 2005 and January 2006

On December 11, 2006 we began reformatting a new CHICOTW feature, which took shape on December 14, 2006 with an editors selection of Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea. Going forward selections will be based on popular election of smaller articles in need assistance. See past votes.
