Description

The Prairie Club of ChicagoOriginally formed in 1908, as an outgrowth of the Playground Association of Chicago, the Prairie Club was incorporated as a separate entity in 1911. Embodying the typical reform mentality of the Progressive era, the club emphasized outdoor recreation and preservation, and sponsored walking trips around Chicago's countryside. Captured here in over 200 vintage photographs are the footsteps of the Prairie Club as they built a constituency for exploring

Originally formed in 1908, as an outgrowth of the Playground Association of Chicago, the Prairie Club was incorporated as a separate entity in 1911. Embodying the typical reform mentality of the Progressive era, the club emphasized outdoor recreation and preservation, and sponsored walking trips around Chicago's countryside. Captured here in over 200 vintage photographs are the footsteps of the Prairie Club as they built a constituency for exploring and preserving the forests and fields surrounding the Windy City.

Like many large American cities in the early 1900s, Chicago's industrialization and waves of immigration spawned crowded, unhealthy urban conditions. The Prairie Club turned to nature for relief from these societal ills. From its first outing on Saturday, April 18, 1908, around Mount Forest District near Willow Springs, members sponsored hikes and outdoor activities from Palos and Tinley, through Hinsdale and Downers Grove, and up to the North Shore. With each of these walks, public support grew for what ultimately became victorious efforts to establish the forest preserves, Indiana Dunes, and other nature spots around the burgeoning cityscape.

This is more like a rigid soft case
I wanted a keyboard and mouse to keep around and a case to keep it in while traveling. The Logitech MK955 Signature Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse seemed like a good choice. I saw that this case was available thought it would be a good idea to protect the keyboard and mouse. So far so good.

Beware of the off-gassing smell.
As much as I like the durable case, the ONLY complaint I have is the off-gassing. The case works great and I have no problems with it. But the smell is something terrible. My entire travel case smells horrible after coming back from a client just because this case has been transported within it. I had my coat on top of it one day and then my coat stunk. I thought if I aired it outside for a bit it would clear it up. When I take it back inside and use it again, it continues to smell. It is so offensive that I am ordering something from another company. I CANNOT say it smells similar to cigarette smoke, but can say that it smells like it has been in a smoker's home for the last 30 years and you just can't get the smell out, no matter what I do. And I tried to spray it with fresheners etc. Nothing worked. I can't use it because of this. I rated as a 2 only because of the smell. As mentioned earlier, the case itself is perfect and performs as it should.

Sturdy case large enough for most keyboards, with space for a mouse.
This is a great case that will protect most keyboards very well. My keyboard and mouse set is from Jelly Comb, and they fit well. It’s very spacious inside. In fact, my keyboard is thinner than what this case is designed for, so I had to pad the keyboard so it won’t move around too much, but I don’t consider this a bad thing. Now I know that if I get a larger keyboard, I can still use the same case. I also like the way it’s designed for a mouse. There are two pouches on top that indent into the case, so you can easily fit a mouse or cables in there and they won’t protrude too much. This case is perfect, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Nice case for carrying keyboards
The case is perfect for carrying keyboards or other items. I am using it for an apple keyboard and trackpad.

Excellent Black Shelf Brackets for Sturdy Shelves!
Style: Black 8 Pack, Size: 7.25 inch
I recently purchased these black shelf brackets for my home office, and they have been a game-changer! The quality is outstanding, and they provided the sturdiness I needed for my shelves. I was able to create beautiful shelves effortlessly by pairing these brackets with 8" wide pine boards. These brackets are incredibly well-made and durable. They held the weight of my books, files, and office supplies with ease, without any signs of bending or sagging. I feel confident that my items are secure and won't come crashing down. Installation was a breeze. The brackets came with all the necessary hardware, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. Within minutes, I had my shelves up and ready to use. This is my second pack of these brackets, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are versatile, allowing me to create customized shelves that perfectly match my office decor. The sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall look. If you're looking for high-quality and sturdy shelf brackets, I highly recommend these. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted with the results. Don't hesitate to give them a try for your shelving projects!
