Happy birthday to us! Time Out Chicago launched its print edition on March 3, 2005, with Redmoon Theater on its cover and a baby-faced Jens Lekman in its pages. Since then, Time Out Chicago has gone through some big changes, including switching to an all-digital format in 2013, and Chicago has transformed right along with it. Can you even remember a time before Brendan Sodikoff ruled the Chicago restaurant scene? Or when Lollapalooza was in its first year? Or when smoking was still allowed in Chicago bars? Jump in the not-so-way-back time machine with us and reminisce about the past decade.
