If You Had a Magic Skeleton Key, What Private Places Would You Like to Have Access To?

That’s where—to the envy of their fellow JDs—clerks shoot hoops to keep in shape, blow off steam and, on occasion, bond with justices.
Then the Chicago Tribune did a quirky series of stories about reporters’ attempts to visit places the public cannot. The Trib got a peek at Chicago’s island water cribs and visited the coal tunnels turned gangster/prohibition hideouts beneath the jazzy Green Mill bar.
