"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

The smell is AMAZING!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Our favorite cleaner and the smell is amazing!! Super functional and we use this on our leather couch too! Spray is nice and not too thick or watery. No stickiness or leftover residue. Instructions are clear and we will keep buying, it’s a great size and value for your money. You won’t regret it!

Great leather cleaner
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Bought this because I accidentally got some sunscreen stains on my leather interior in my car. Just a quick spray of this and a wipe with a microfiber towel and the stains are gone! Very pleased with the product and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice leather cleaner!

Works as advertised and smells good
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My daughter and I went to the beach. She didn't put her cover up back on and got sunscreen on the black leather seats. This stuff worked great. Cleaned it off and hopefully protects for anything else headed towards my seats in the future.

This will melt built up dirt in no time.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought a 3 bottle set that included the interior cleaner, cloth cleaner and leather cleaner. All three worked really well when I used them.
The cloth cleaner lifted and disolved the surface dirt from the the seats and made easier to use a portable wet vac to vacuum the dirt. The interior cleaner did a far superior job on melting built up dirt on the seats, dashboard, steering wheel and other surfaces. The leather cleaner did pretty much the same as the other two and I can see myself buying this again.
It dried quickly too

Easy to use and high quality!
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
Got this for my boyfriend in his car complaining about not having a place to hold his phone since his last one broke and he couldnt find one he liked again. It's perfect, zero issues very simple you just place the hooks into the heat/AC vent then screw the holder until it tightens, fit your phone in, done. It's easily adjustable in everyway. The size is perfect, it never moves or slips when driving, and you can fit it anywhere, it seems durable and we've never had it break or fall!
