North Shore Senior Center

Baseball author and sports historian Charles Billington examines the expectations, fortunes,&nbsp;and future of our beloved Chicago baseball teams here at the middle of the 2026 season. He is hoping to answer the questions such as where are the White Sox with their promising young players? Is there any movement with new stadium plans? And, will Jerry Reinsdorf ever have a winning team again? He dissects the current status of the Sox. Then he looks at&nbsp;the Cubs off-season player moves and addresses the issue of whether the Cubs' "pitching development" program is still highly touted.NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20

The public view and trust for the media has undergone significant changes during the past few years. The latest Gallup Poll indicates that only 28 percent of Americans have confidence in newspapers, television, or radio to report the news fully and fairly. Nearly 70 per cent say they don't!&nbsp;In fact, many place more trust in Congress instead. Michael Weissman explains why the media is viewed with such skepticism and how that can be remedied.&nbsp;NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20

The Alhambra in Granada, Spain, is a medieval Moorish palace famous for the beauty of its architecture that has inspired stories and legends. It was built by the last Islamic dynasty in Spain during the 13th and 14th centuries. Moorish poets described it as “a pearl set in emeralds.” The architecture is exquisite, with intricate tile work and geometric patterns that incorporates water and gardens into the designs. The Alhambra represents the height of Moorish culture before the fall of Granada to the Spanish in 1492. Uniquely well preserved, it brings back the lost era of sophistication and artistry of Moorish Spain.NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20
