Our coffee and conversations are in the Broadway Armory dining room and start at 9 a.m. Meet up with us there for lively exploration of each week’s topics.

Join hosts John Williams and Tom Murphy as the group explores interesting and sometimes controversial topics. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion. This week’s topic is:

• In this time of Thanksgiving, tell us what you especially appreciate about life in your neighborhood (or Chicago as a whole): A little known park? Your favorite season in the City? The very best CTA bus route? Anything at all … whatever brings joy.

If you are interested in participating in our discussions but are not on our distribution list, send an email to tjm2040@rcn.com and we will add you to the list.
