Our Mongolian Herbal Broth comes from an ancient legend... In the time of the Nomads, there lived a Monk who traveled with Mongolian armies in the Chile Valley, northern part of China. He was highly respected because of his extensive knowledge of medicine and astrology, as well as his leadership and ability to care for injured soldiers. Proficient in Tibetan and Mongolian medicine, he made a broth from lamb with special herbs for the soldiers. Not only did it taste delicious, it greatly strengthened the soldier’s bodies and helped them conquered the world. Later on, the recipe became popular among Nomads in the area. Since that time, his hotpot broth has been a favorite of the Mongolian people and has been respected as a “sacred” soup for thousands of years. Our recipe for Hotpot Broth inherited from the Sacred Broth. It embodies traditional Chinese cooking methods based on nutrition, using Chinese herbs such as astragalus, liquorice, desert cistanche, sand- shallot seeds, and others to enhance the flavor and rejuvenate the body. As you savor our broth, we hope you taste the rich flavors of China’s ancient heritage and are filled with the strength of the nomadic warriors. Enjoy!
Chinatown Square is a two-story outdoor mall located in Chinatown, Chicago, a mile (1.6 km) from the center of Chicago just North of the main Wentworth Avenue District (the main Chinatown Street). Chinatown Square, on 45acre of reclaimed land from a former railroad yard, houses mostly restaurants, retail space, boutiques, banks, clinics, beauty shops, and a handful of offices. This outdoor mall is the largest Chinese mall in the US east of San Francisco and west of New York City. In the middle of the mall, there are statues of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac from Xiamen, China. Other landmarks in the mall include twin pagodas.The mall opened in 1993 as a result of the efforts of Chinese activists who wanted more land from the city of Chicago. In the 1960s, Chinatown's land has been reduced due to the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/I-94) and the Stevenson Expressway (I-55). This created a problem of overcrowding and reduced the possibility of further expansion. On the present location of Chinatown Square, there was a large railroad yard in the 1980s. The conversion of this rail yard led to the creation of Chinatown Square, allowing for much needed commercial and residential expansion. New parks were created at the same time along the Chicago River. Chinatown Square was developed by the Chinese American Development Corporation.

Over the past decade the D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) movement has been steadily cultivating an expansive group of dedicated followers. Brought together by a commitment to shared principles, this handmade community has validated the act of individual creation not only as a socially conscious alternative to mainstream mass production, but also as a respectable means of expressing oneself both for pleasure and for profit. Successful businesses such as Etsy.com and Renegade Handmade have evolved out of this movement and continue to attract new buyers and sellers who appreciate the unique quality experience of crafting. The D.I.Y. movement is not limited to crafting exclusively, however. Burgeoning artists have benefited from building on the ideals of this community as well. Lowbrow art has seen a quiet explosion over the past 10 years, especially amongst those in their twenties and thirties. This demographic seems to gravitate towards the popular, often nostalgic themes of lowbrow art and appreciates the idea that someone "like them" created it. Again successful endeavors like Flatstock poster show and DeviantArt.com exemplify the popularity of digital art and screenprinting, two very prevalent lowbrow artforms, and reflect the significance that getting to know the artist plays within this movement. 50/50 The Blurring of Art and Craft attempts to explore the blurring of lines between artists and crafters. By highlighting the skill and expression of creativity found in both the art and craft worlds, we hope to encourage further support of local artists and D.I.Y. businesses and to facilitate a rethinking of the relationship between art and consumerism within our American corporate run culture.
The Battle of Fort Dearborn was an engagement between United States troops and Potawatomi Native Americans that occurred on August 15, 1812, near Fort Dearborn in what is now Chicago, Illinois, but was then part of the Illinois Territory. The battle, which occurred during the War of 1812, followed the evacuation of the fort as ordered by William Hull, commander of the United States Army of the Northwest. The battle lasted about 15 minutes and resulted in a complete victory for the Native Americans. Fort Dearborn was burned down and those soldiers and settlers who survived were taken captive. Some were later ransomed. After the battle, however, settlers continued to seek to enter the area, the fort was rebuilt in 1816, and settlers and the government were now convinced that all Indians had to be removed from the territory, far away from the settlement.
