Yes, there are ligers. The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger (i.e, Panthera leo × Panthera tigris). A liger resembles a lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest "pure" taxon. Ligers and tigers enjoy swimming, whereas lions do not. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. See links for more information.

Why does Chicago have a wide range of temperatures?
Because Chicago is a city. Traditionally, where Chicago is located is a very cold and rainy place. However, when it warms up in the summer, the heat gets trapped under a blanket of pollution (mostly CO2). I say this because since Chicago is a highly active city and the CO2 released by the factories and cars there during the summer floats above the city. This is called the greenhouse effect. The blanket of pollution makes it virtually impossible for heat to escape.
The same principle applies to all large cities.

1940s Chicago nightclub owner Big Jim Cameron?
Big Jim Cameron was my great uncle by marriage. His wife was Lillian Sucher, my grandmother's sister (on my father's side). I really don't know much more than that. He lived for some time in Northern Kentucky in the Fort Mitchell area, off a street known as Barrington Woods. I'd love to know what actually happened to him to make him move back from Chicago. I only heard rumors from my parents that he had some run in with the Chicago Mafia and had suffered a beating. My mother used to tell me that he had been mentioned in the Kefauver trials in the 1950's. He told his wife not to return to Chicago after he died, but she did anyway, looking for I don't know what. As far as I know, she never did find whatever it was she was looking for and died there.

What is the history of Humboldt Park?
L. Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" while living in Chicago at 1667 N. Humboldt Boulevard near Humboldt Park.
Humboldt Park derives its name from a 207-acre park named for Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a German naturalist whose only visit to the United States did not include Chicago. Most of the neighborhood was annexed into the city in 1869, the year the park was laid out, but settlement was slow to develop. The creation of Humboldt and several other west side parks provided beauty, and the fact that this area stood just beyond the city's fire code jurisdiction as set out after the 1871 fire made inexpensively built housing possible. Still, the neighborhood did not fully develop until the Armitage Avenue streetcar line came to it after the turn of the century. The present neighborhood of Humboldt Park is bounded by Armitage (2000 N) on the north, Chicago (800 N) on the south, Western (2400 W) on the east, and Pulaski (4000 W) on the west.
By the annexation of Jefferson Township in 1889, all of Humboldt Park came into the city limits. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, Germans and Scandinavians continued to settle in the area. By 1920, the neighborhood held some 65,00 people, of which twenty-eight percent were foreign-born, chiefly German and Norwegian. In the next decade, an ethnicity shift began, as large numbers of Italians moved in from neighborhoods to the east; other ethnic groups of considerable numbers were Poles and Russian Jews. The 1930 population of 80,000 became Humboldt Park's highest. Since then, population has been in decline. By 1960, Italians dominated the ethnic mix, and small communities of Blacks and Hispanics were developing. In 1960, Humboldt Park was ninety-nine percent white; in 1980 the population stood roughly at forty percent Hispanic, thirty percent Black, and thirty percent white.
The 1970s saw troubled times for Humboldt Park. In 1978, an average of three fires daily were determined to be result of arson. The neighborhood today is economically depressed, with housing median values about sixty percent of the city-wide average. Overcrowding remains a serious problem. Throughout its history, Humboldt Park has remained a neighborhood of persons "passing through," being an area in which to live while accumulating capital in order to move on.
What is info on the Caribbean Room in the Hyde Park Hotel?
I believe the reference would be to Taylor Street, not Tyler Avenue. I don't know what the questioner means by "New Chicago," but the area south of the Loop has indeed begun to be developed. Especially along Michigan Avenue and Wabash Avenue, formerly derelict areas are being gentrified, and the railroad right-of-away air rights over the South Shore Line commuter rails have been reclaimed and built up with middle- and upper-middle class housing. Many high-rises have gone up as well along Michigan Avenue, facing Grant Park and the Museum Campus. Now, the inboard blocks between the Loop and Taylor Street can still be somewhat iffy: the area around Taylor Street, by the Chicago Campus of the University of Illinois (the old Little Italy displaced by the original Chicago Circle Campus) has also been gentrified with shops, restaurants and housing, but there are still stretches of unsavory and unsafe passage through that part of town.
How can you contact the Chicago Portrait Company?
