Alice Cooper at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, IL

The Godfather of shock rock, Alice Cooper, brought his extended Alice’s Attic Tour to Waukegan for a night of gothic theatrics. 2026 is proving to be a very busy year for Alice Cooper. He went from touring with his band to performing shows with the Hollywood Vampires, releasing his book, “Devil On My Shoulder: A Memoir,” to extending his Alice’s Attic Tour.

Jim Peterik was born on November 11, 1950

Jim Peterik was born on November 11, 1950, in Berwyn, Illinois.

Church on Harlem goes back to Harlem

In 1890, when the United States had 42 states and Benjamin Harrison was President, the German Baptist Church was formed (now Forest Park Baptist) after breaking from the First Baptist Church of Chicago. A newspaper clipping from 1904 states, “The work of German Baptists dates back to the early seventies, at which time several members located in Oak Park and Harlem erected a small edifice at the corner of Franklin Street and Marengo Avenue which afterwards sold and was from that time used as a Mission Sunday School.”
