Road Trip Bucket List

Hot on the heels of our recent Listomania! Contest we were made aware of this unofficial entry by TJ in the Field Nuts Facebook Group. An awesome music video for “On the Way,” by Hollow Coves, in which they use an Original Kraft Ruled Book to record their “Road Trip Bucket List.” – Jul. 9th, 2024

Greetings from the Shores

Like many Field Notes releases, “The Great Lakes” Edition required extensive research, both for the text and the visuals. While searching for vintage Great Lakes ephemera on eBay, Jim came across a few similar colorful postcards printed on linen cardstock. A bit of Googling revealed these collectible “Art-Colortone” cards, produced by Curt Teich and Co., were a goldmine of American history, told with ink and paper… just the sort of thing we get excited about. – Aug. 3rd, 2022

The History of Brand’s Hall

Designed by prominent local architect Julius H. Huber, the building stood on the corner of Clark and Ontario and was called Brand’s Hall. It advertised itself as a “Hall to Rent for All Occasions,” and it did just that, serving as a popular, conveniently located space for conventions, parties, meetings, and near-nightly dances. – Oct. 18th, 2016
