"Chicago is a tale of two cities," headlines declare. This narrative has been gaining steam alongside reports of growing economic divisions and diverging outlooks on the future of the city. Yet to keen observers of the Second City, this is nothing new. Those who truly know Chicago know that for decades--even centuries--the city has been defined by duality, possibly since the Great Fire scorched a visible line between the rubble and the saved. For writers like Alex Kotlowitz, the contradictions are what make Chicago. And it is these contradictions that form the heart of Never a City So Real. The book is a tour of the people of Chicago, those who have been Kotlowitz's guide into this city's - and by inference, this country's - heart. Chicago, after all, is America's city. Kotlowitz introduces us to the owner of a West Side soul food restaurant who believes in second chances, a steelworker turned history teacher, the "Diego Rivera of the projects," and the lawyers and defendants who populate Chicago's Criminal Courts Building. These empathic, intimate stories chronicle the city's soul, its lifeblood. This new edition features a new afterword from the author, which examines the state of the city today as seen from the double-paned windows of a pawnshop. Ultimately, Never a City So Real is a love letter to Chicago, a place that Kotlowitz describes as "a place that can tie me up in knots but a place that has been my muse, my friend, my joy."Binding Type: Paperback

Powerful milk frother
Great little frother!! It was given as a gift and the recipient is very pleased with how it easily works and the variable speed power it has. It is the perfect size and weight and looks nice sitting on the counter

Does not last long.
Loved the product but disappointed with the longevity. I've purchased 2 units and they both stopped working after about 4 months.
We only use in our morning coffee for a few seconds....to mix in cream.
I guess for this price, you just keep buying replacements. Seems highly wasteful though.
EDIT:
Service team reached out to learn more about my issues and is replacing the units that failed.
It means a lot to have a good service team that takes care of customers.

Powerful mixer, and the company stands behind the product
I've had a few of these mixers from other companies and they broke quickly and then couldn't even get a response when contacting the company. However, when I had an issue with this one Typhur responded immediately and totally resolved the issue. Good to know that the company stands by their products.
This particular unit is more powerful than the other ones I've owned and really works well through thick mixes, with little stalling. The one-button operation, from the top, is naturally suited to the task. Another one I owned had the speed buttons on the side and it was pretty awkward when you're in the middle of mixing something.
Since I use Eneloop Pro rechargeable batteries I don't have to worry about setting it up near a socket to plug in a USB cable. My counter top is crowded enough as it is.

It was good until it wasn't. :(
Purchased this in February. It worked great while it worked. It started stopping periodically as I would use it around the first of April. I thought it could be the batteries so I changed the batteries. It is still stopping as I use it. It will spin for a second or two then stop. I have to press the button several times to get it to start again only for it to run a few seconds at a time.
